I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Niles, IL) in Jan 2024
Interview
When I did it, it was only 1 phone conversation and one interview. I hear now it's like 3? It's a pretty thorough interview. You want to push the customer connection, They want very happy and upbeat people.
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
After applying online they invited me for an online interview that was a group interview then the next stage would have been a one to one digital interview over zoom.
