I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Birmingham, England) in Oct 2014
Interview
Was given a free beverage of my choice and waited in the cafe for the manager. While I waited I filled in a questionnaire. Manager came and it was more like a chat than an interview, very laid back.
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.
