I interviewed for a Barista job at the Starbucks in the Zoo. It was pretty laid back. The main manager wasn't in, so I talked to the assistant manager instead, who used to work there. It seemed like a busy but supportive place to work.

It's a super long interview process, and they don't communicate between stages, which is a bummer. But the place itself is great. The whole thing took about three months, and I had to send multiple follow-up emails. It really does take months from start to finish.

Presentation

The interview lasted about an hour, maybe a bit longer because of some computer issues, but the two interviewers were super nice and funny, which helped me relax. It included a five-minute interpretation presentation, and they mentioned using a prop would help. It was a really enjoyable interview. They called me about five minutes later to offer me the job.

  • Could you explain what interpretation means?

The interviewers were really nice and seemed genuinely interested in chatting. The downside was the amount of time it took. There were several long interviews and an unpaid take-home assignment. In the end, they decided not to hire anyone for the role. I felt like my time wasn't valued.
