Starbucks is one of the famous coffee shops all over the world. The ambiance is very relaxing especially the coffee they serve is very good. One of my favorite drink is their Frappucino. Especially the Vanilla one. Once you taste it, for sure you want more of it. Because, I'm a coffee lover, I became interested in being a "barista", the one who mixes and do the coffee. So I decided, why don't I try my luck on being a barista of Starbucks?
Besides, this is a good way to earn money. So I applied with two of my friends, eventually I convinced them to apply also. So we passed our C.V on Starbucks at Fairview then we waited for about 3 weeks (Estimated days), before we received a text message saying "Tomorrow you have an interview at our main office at Rusrans at Makati. Don't forget to bring a Valid I.D and your resume. Blah..Blah." So the following day, we went there.
So the first thing we do:
- Fill up the application form and the "Essay"
The essay was quite easy. Some of my answers are very sarcastic. Haha! Anyway, the essay questions is consist of four questions.
"Why did you apply at Starbucks?"
"What are the 3 things you expect at Starbucks?"
"How do you understand customer service?"
And lastly "What do you do during your free time?"
- Group Interview
The interviewer will asked you basic questions, the questions will be based also on the essay you answered. So you must remember your answers. The first question of the interviewer would be "Tell me about yourself"
just like the first day in school, you should describe yourself clearly like where do you came from, what school are you, your parents are they employed or not, stuffs like that.
Once you started the conversation the questions will just go with the flow. So be ready with your answers.
Then after the bloody hell questions. The interviewer will be giving a letter indicating if you pass the initiation or not. But sadly on my cased, I did not passed the interview. I guess because of the way I answer the questions or maybe because of my age. But, at least I tried my best. I guess it is not really meant for me this time.
But, I still love STARBUCKS. =)
