mention “connecting with customers” at least once and they’ll literally foam at the mouth with excitement

Definitely mention that you are able to multi-task well. Fast learner. Team player. 👌🏼👌🏼

You got this !!! Just be yourself ⭐️

I was so nervous since it was my very first job, and I literally studied for it (even tho it was prolly unnecessary). I looked up interview tips from Starbucks baristas on YouTube, looked up possible interview questions that they could ask me and had practiced what I would say. Mostly prepared me well. Had a few questions I wasn’t prepared for but i wasn’t as nervous answering them on the spot since I had prepared a lot. Overkill, I know, but I really wanted the job and there were not a lot of other good paying ones in my area so I really wanted to nail it. Good luck!!

Talk about how much you love people(no matter what u think lol) they love to hear that. I also remember my manager saying that he liked that I mentioned reasons for wanting to work there, that it was clear I had done research.

(only if you actually are) mention you’re a fast learner and work well in fast paced environments. mention enjoying being part of and working with a team. mention all positive experience with customer service. you’ll get it 100%

They'll hire almost anyone with a heartbeat. If you sound competent enough to learn on the job they'll take you

Adding a comment to serve as an update (hopefully everyone will be able to see it) but I got the job! Thank you everyone for your help, it is greatly appreciated!!

Hi! I hope your interview goes well ;) I was hired about a year ago, and my SM asked me a lot of questions about my experience with other activities. This has been my first job, so I was mainly asked to speak about leadership and volunteer experience. Make sure you know your involvement within the community well. 🙃

I got a LOT of questions like "tell me about a time you solved a problem when no one else could at your last job"

I googled the most commonly asked interview questions for Starbucks and practiced answers to all of them. I was asked maybe half of them during the interview. Make sure to mention customer connections, that you are excited to learn, and that you work well on a team. Also mention that you are flexible and can adapt quickly. I threw in there how I thought it was important to create a great experience for every customer because we could be the only smiling face they see all day or turn their day around if they are having a bad day, and they ate that shit up. Best of luck to you!
