personally before i interviewed i just watched a ton of videos on starbucks interviews, “a day in the life” type things, just to familiarize yourself with the type of work you’d be doing. just go in with some ideas of what’s expected of a barista, and make sure to wake up early, shower, eat a healthy breakfast, put on (appropriate) clothes you feel comfortable in, whatever it takes to give you the most confidence you can have! like the other commenter said, act like you belong there, and if you don’t already think so- convince yourself you do!

Yess that’s a perfect answer. Talk about how you would like to work at a fast past atmosphere and like talking to people. You can say that at target you would mostly work with clothes and not get to talk to customers. That’s a really good response. Let us know how it goes! Good luck :)

that’s exactly what i said! i think that’s perfect, make it about how you feel your skills and desires fit better with a company like starbucks instead of target. i would try to include the things you learned from target, and how you think starbucks will make use of these and help to furnish your skills. they’re looking for hard workers, and ones that can handle lots of pressure and still put on a smile. if you can do these things, definitely push that!
