I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks (Gilroy, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Average Interview Process. Very friendly and pleasant. Great communication. Fast paced environment. Well staffed. Asked a lot of standard interview questions about customer service such as "Describe a time you went above and beyond for a customer".
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.
