I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Laguna Niguel, CA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter. It took several days of phone calls going back and forth to schedule. The recruiter was extremely engaged and helpful. She genuinely seemed to care about my chances to be offered a position. Instructed to take an extremely basic test which included math proficiency and basic communication skills. After this test I was sent to a hiring fair where I interviewed with 2 district managers. They used the same interviewing format, which has been confirmed to be the preferred format for the company. The questions were basic and could easily be answered if any job experience was present.

Question 1
Behavioral interview questions. Give examples for scenarios one would be put in to based on past experiences.
The interviewer did not ask much at all. Not sure because they are not interested or it is their typical screening process. I don't think I was given enough time through the phone interview to tell more about myself.

I interviewed with a Starbucks recruiter for a Manager position and I've been waiting for a follow up call back or an email for almost a month. I contacted the recruiter by email and by phone and I didn't get a response. I looked online and the position has been filled. I loved the company before I was treated like this and I would never suggest anyone to work for them.
