I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Barnet, England) in Aug 2021
Interview
The interviewing person was nice, evidently read my cv prior to my arrival and the interview was more like a good and open conversation. I was given good and useful information, based on which it was easy to decide whether I wanted to go for the job or not. Obviously, I said yes.
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.
