I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Ealing, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
Straightforward and welcoming. They were pretty clear about what they were looking for and I knew what to expect. I felt comfortable answering the questions they had for me. All in all a good experience
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and your experience with barista work
Received an email asking to schedule an interview for the following week. The interview took place in the store itself, and took about 15 minutes. The questions were pretty average.
First interview went well, just the basic behavioral questions that should be answered using the STAR method. Second interview was less questions but with the district manager. Still waiting to hear back (if they reach out at all).
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to navigate a situation where the supervisor wasn’t available.
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.
