I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Springfield, VA) in May 2021
Interview
Very simple, sat down during hours at a booth within the store. Basic questions, mainly about customer support and how to deal with difficult customers. Manager was friendly and affable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle being with a difficult customer who is visibly irritated?
Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback. We appreciate your input and are happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed the interview process here at Starbucks!
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.
Easiest interview I've ever had. I was only asked 3 questions, 'tell me about yourself, what are your strengths & weaknesses, what is your availability?' Lasted about 10 minutes maximum
it was great. I answered every question thoughtfully and easily. You have to have two interviews, one with the manager and one with the district manager. It is a in person interview. They ask many questions and will either hire you on the spot or you will have to call to see if you get the position.
