I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Birmingham, England) in Apr 2025
Interview
Questions are unique and hard to prepare for, mainly scenario based ‘describe a time when’ questions. I was asked to hand out free sample drinks and clean tables as a practical part of the interview.

Question 1
Describe a time you received constructive criticism
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.
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.

Question 1
What's a difficult customer interaction you've had?
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
