I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. I attended a hiring event for Starbucks and interviewed with two managers. Starbucks values collaboration, team work, and problem solving. Almost all of the questions revolved around those topics. Be ready to share a lot of stories and experiences. Also, be sure to practice answering questions using the STAR method! You're not expected to have any coffee knowledge or experience so don't worry about that. Be friendly and show that you are willing and excited to learn. It took about a week to hear back after the interview.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you worked together with a team to achieve a goal. What was your role in that situation.
Easy-going, conversational, friendly. They were understanding and listened well. It was easy to speak to them. However, interviewing in a busy store can get a bit difficult with everyone inside the store.
Basic questions about my personality, reliability, and desire to work. Not very difficult however be prepared to talk about yourself and show a willingness to learn and you should be fine.
The interview was quite easy and relaxed. They asked me about different case scenarios, how I would handle certain situations, and discussed my previous work experience in detail. The interviewers were friendly and professional throughout the process, which made me feel comfortable. As a nice gesture, they also offered me a free coffee while I was there.
