The last job I applied for was when I decided to return to Starbucks from my previous job. The first time I applied, it was a “get to know you” interview then I was hired on the spot. Three years later when I returned, it was a lot more professional.<\/p>\n
I applied online and turned in my resume to the location I wanted to work at. I met the manager, explained that I have Starbucks and general barista experience, and made a point to visit often as a customer. I got my interview two weeks later and was not sure what to expect. I had a friend working there already, and she told me that the interview was stressful for her and very professional. Considering how my last Starbucks interview went, I was skeptical but still took measures to prepare.<\/p>\n
When I went in, I was interviewed by the assistant manager at the time. She brought out a packet of specific Starbucks Interview questions. She knew I had experience, so she brushed through the questions quickly. Preparing was good because she did ask specific workplace related questions, but it wasn’t overly scary or professional. A week later I got called saying I got the job and started working two weeks after that.<\/p>\n
After the interview, I could tell that this store was more professional and higher functioning than my last. The ASM doing the interview was not pleasant so I was slightly nervous to work with her. I was excited at the same time because I was going to work in a place that actually functioned properly. I knew that if I was offered the job I’d take it regardless of how I felt about her because literally anything would be better than the job I was at. Once I started, she liked me because I already knew what I was doing and can manage myself. A few months later management switched as well as a large amount of employees, so it’s entirely different than it was a year ago when I started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
