I’m 43 and was hired last October as a Barista..it was a very casual interview…good luck…I do have to say I find this job exhausting…my body is not the same as it was in my 20s lol good thing the job is just my hobby basically to get me out of the house a few days a week

HAHA i’m not sure if you’ll have the same experice, i was hired through recommendation of a friend and while covid stuff was still pretty heated, i’m assuming they just didn’t want to go thru the process LOL. if you do have an interview just be polite, tell them you want to work as many hours as you can, and that you really like their business models and what they represent (or something like that)

They might ask you something about how well you'll be able to work with/take direction from people younger than you since the majority of employees are going to be younger. So I would recommend coming up with a response for that in case they do.

I also worked for the bux to afford a chronic condition. You will hit times when you question whether quality health care is worth the mental health decline that comes with it. As you sit bundled in blankets in your cold apartment you use your neighbors wifi to search job listings. You will quickly discover that no other company in the industry can match the healthcare accessibility. As you look deeper you realize that to get any decent healthcare in this country you have to work for one of the many corporations that have led to current working conditions by way of lobbying. It is then that you must decide between your mental health or your physical health and not look back.

I would consider that every manager is different with the questions they ask. In my interview, my manager asked questions about customer service, but he also asked: why I wanted to work there, how I work with a team to achieve a goal, how I respond to a peer when I see that they’re doing something incorrectly, etc.

It may be useful to practice a variety of types of questions, and in the interview try to get a feel for the type of personality/interests of the interviewer.
