I applied online to 5 different locations. I have over 4 years of barista experience, and I thought that I would be chosen for sure. Boy, was I wrong. Almost 3 weeks after I initially applied, I was contacted by a manager wanting to have an on-the-spot phone interview. Of course I was slightly surprised, but recovered quickly. I was asked about my work experience and why I wanted to work at Starbucks. The manager was rude and kept interrupting me, which I hate. The whole process took less than 10 minutes. I was told there were a few more applicants to contact, and that I would receive a follow-up call within 2 days. It never came. I waited 3 more days before contacting the manager, as it was over a weekend and I knew how busy it would be there. No one returned any of my multiple phone calls.
