I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks (Saint Andrews, Scotland) in Jun 2017
Interview
Interview went very well, was asked to come in for a trial which was basically 4 hours of unpaid labour for me to clean up everyone else's mess. One of the managers was nasty to the full time employees and the other employees were talking about each other and the other manager behind her back. Not a nice atmosphere, and not a good trial.
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.
