I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks (Surrey, BC)
Interview
Interview was very easy. It was made up of basic interview questions along with just getting to know me and my background work experience. The whole interview took about 15 minutes.
Just a simple interview where you talk about your experience and get a free coffee as well. Your best bet is to be really friendly and bubbly and excited with completely open availability
Received an email asking to schedule an interview for the following week. The interview took place in the store itself, and took about 15 minutes. The questions were pretty average.
First interview went well, just the basic behavioral questions that should be answered using the STAR method. Second interview was less questions but with the district manager. Still waiting to hear back (if they reach out at all).
