I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2012
Interview
Handed in a CV to a store. A manager called me. Short phone interview. Was called in for a 1 on 1 interview, that lasted approx 25 minutes. After that, was called into a store for a trial day. A few days later I was offered the job.
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).
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to navigate a situation where the supervisor wasn’t available.
Basically a short chat about my availability, my interest in the job, why I want to work there, how familiar I am with coffee and what my past experiences in hospitality were.
