The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee in May 2009
Interview
The first interview I had was with someone from human resources and it was a phone interview. It took about 20 minutes and asked very basic questions regarding relevant work experience. Before the second interview I had to take a online assessment test that took about 90 minutes to complete. It consisted of of a combination of ranking whats most important to you regarding your personality or what you look for in a company. Also included are questions that you have to analyze graphs, answer math questions. The second interview was also a phone interview with someone from human resources which took about 45 minutes. They asked mostly behavioral questions and asked more about relevant experience. The third interview was with a district manager and took a little more than an hour. They asked more behavioral questions and questions trying to find out more about my personality. The interview took place in a one of the stores. At the end of the interview I was expecting to find out if I got the job or not but the district manager said that there need to be another interview, this time it will be with a couple district managers and myself.
