I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Starbucks (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2024
Interview
Behavioral questions involving how do you deal with an angry customer and how do you deal with stressful situations. Additionally asked about my own interests in coffee and what the smell of coffee meant to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think of when you smell coffee?
How do you deal with an angry customer?
very easy and straightforward, they did a coffee tasting and was asked to describe the coffee taste. They focus on customer service, and knowing starbucks slang and the company goals is always a plus
It was short and to the point. They asked my availability and past experience working in the food industry. Since I didn’t have any, I felt it was going to prevent me from getting the job.
Usual standard process of interviewing, we went over my experience and knowledge of working as barista in coffee shops and restaurants in my previous jobs. Highly recommend as a great place to work at !!
