I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2025
Interview
We had a coffee tasting and intense 30min questions. It felt too much to be honest and they got back to me in 4 days. I didnt like how intense it was for a Barista position but be prepared with like STAR or PAR based answers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about a time you disagreed with your supervisor.
2. Tell me about a time you created a warm enviornment for your customers.
3. Tell me about a time you worked with your co-worker and it you learned something
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.
