I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2009
Interview
I already worked for the company, so i knew what to expect. It was easy, lots of question about Starbucks core values to see if you embody the skills they require for shift supervisor. Using correct Starbucks terminology is very important.

Question 1
Give an example of ambiguity and how you dealt with it?
Very easy. Lasted about 20 minutes. Basic interview questions. You don’t need a lot of experience. I started out as a barista and moved my way up. Usually a store manager interviews you.
