I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks (Sydney) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview was casual and friendly. It was conducted by the store manager at the local Starbucks store in Sydney. They asked about my availability, previous customer service experience, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment. The process was straightforward and lasted about 20-30 minutes.
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.
