I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Surabaya, East Java) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process was quick, lasting only about 5-10 minutes. They conducted the interview inside the shop, which was quite crowded. The HR was somewhat unprofessional; she paused me in the middle just to ask the staff for another coffee.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why I want to be a barista, which is not aligned with my background
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
