      Store Manager Interview

      Jul 26, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Tyler, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks (Tyler, TX) in Jul 2012

      Interview

      I filled out the online application and took the required assessments. Later that same day, a Starbuck's recruiter contacted me. We set up a phone interview for the next day. It went extremely well. Every question she asked was a situational based question about what you have encountered at your previous jobs. You have to give an example and how you handled the situation. She told me that she would be giving my telephone number to the District Manager. He called me about 3 days later and we set up an interview where we would meet in person. I interviewed at a Starbuck's location with the DM and two Store Managers. Once again, it was a situational interview. That evening, the recruiter called me back and told me that they wanted to keep going with the process. She emailed me the consent for background check which checks your criminal, educational and work background. Three days later, I was offered the position and accepted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time when you had to handle the same situation with two different employees and you had to use two different types of management styles because of the difference in the employees.
