I applied in-person. I interviewed at Starbucks (Riverside, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Brief, waited for a long time. We sat in the corner of the cafe. She was very chill and easy to talk to; I was comfortable. I was asked about my work experience and when I could work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My availability during the week and if I could work weekends.
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.
