It was a really calm interview in the back of the coffee shop. They made me a coffee of my choice and then I was shown to the back where the owner was doing interviews. The shop front was super busy but the team still took the time to make me a drink, which was a really good first impression.

It was a pretty relaxed chat. They asked a few things about my past barista and customer service experience, like 'How's your latte art?' Then we got right into talking about how many hours I wanted and when I could work.

I applied online on their website and had to complete a really strange X-factor test with odd questions. After that, there was over two weeks of silence. Recently, I got an email saying they'd filled the position, but it's still advertised everywhere, including their site. I think this is super unprofessional. It's fine if they didn't want to hire me, but the way they responded and are still looking is just not okay.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Tell me about your behavior within a team.
  • How do you act when interacting with customers?
  • Are you stable?
