I interviewed at Pret A Manger (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Interview
It was pretty casual. Asked about my availability and why I was interested in the job title (barista in this case). Without prior experience with coffee, I was told that they will put me in as a team member.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in being a barista at Pret?
One interview round. It was a very chill chat about my experience, life outside of work and skills. Not too difficult, its more of a communication evaluation. Like can you talk to people.
I applied online. I interviewed at Pret A Manger (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
Very casual phone interview asking about my flexibility for shifts and availability to commute to different stores if needed. Briefly went over my CV but just to confirm some things, didn't want explanation.
Very easy and smooth, asked mew questions about my competency and then proceeded to show me around the area . Very enjoyable and quick . Sat down with the manager and interview lasted around 20-30 minutes
