I had my interview with my friend/ old manager and a manager in training. It was a video interview and an old co worker said “wow you look fancy” because I had a button up shirt and I stood up and said “I even wore the shoes” and they laughed. Then I said I made myself an iced coffee to make it like an interview we would do in store and the manager said “why does it also look like the cups we use in Starbucks” and I said “because I made sure to use one for authenticty..it’s my attention to detail.” and they laughed. My girlfriend and I laughed prior to the interview about me using one of their cups. Like I deliberately switched glasses to use one of theirs. I got hired.

Thanks!! I’m sure I do. But I have such bad anxiety it gets into the mix and I blank sometimes. I’m not cocky, but I was a great shift. I just worry about how I will come off in an interview. The manager is my personal friend who asked me to come back..so I’m thinking this is a formality, but I like to be prepared so the anxiety creeps up. Thank you again!

Of course, as someone with an anxiety disorder and somehow I’m still a barista, you’re strong for being a shift with anxiety don’t worry. And it’s a personal friend, they’ll most likely understand if you get nervous
