I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Starbucks (Salt Lake City, UT) in Jan 2012
Interview
Phone pre-screen, phone interview, in person interview. Phone prescreen was basic. The recruiter gave some great advice. If you listen to what she tells you to do and research the company you will be prepared to deliver an excellent interview for the next process. During in person interview show who you really are and what your values are. They want a person that can represent their mission and values statement everyday in their stores.
