      Barista Interview

      I interviewed at Starbucks (London, England)

      Interview

      Two people interviewed me—one asked questions while the other took notes. They were both really friendly and made the environment comfortable. They asked a lot of behavioral questions, like how I handle challenges or work under pressure. At the end, they even offered me a free coffee, which was nice. Despite the positive interaction, I didn’t get the job in the end. Still, the experience was a good one, and I appreciated their approach.

      I interviewed at Starbucks

      Interview

      The interview felt rushed and disorganized. The interviewer seemed distracted, asked repetitive questions, and didn’t clearly explain the role or next steps. Overall, it left a poor impression and made the hiring process feel unprofessional.
