Anonymous employee

Singapore

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Singapore) in May 2015

Interview

It started out with the usual why you wanna work there. Then it proceeded to understanding more of myself and my experience with starbucks as an employee. They are also keen to know about my past working experience and also personality. They may also ask regarding your eligibility to work, if you're a foreigner. They also would ask about your availability to work throughout the week. Of course, they would also let you fill up a form of some sort and would let you know on the spot whether you are eligible or not and would tell you what to do subsequently after the interview.
