The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Huntersville, NC) in Mar 2008
Interview
First initial contact was a short phone interview with a HR person. The process was brief and consisted of 5 to 7 questions that questioned your honesty and integrity. Second was a 1:1 with an HR manager. That was much more detailed. It was basically the STAR method.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever encountered an irate customer? describe your actions
The process consisted of two interviews. The first was a phone screen with a recruiter to discuss my background, leadership experience, and availability. The second interview was with a district manager and focused more on behavioral and situational questions. The interviewers were professional and transparent about expectations for the role.
