How to get a job at Starbucks Coffee.

Do you work at Starbucks Coffee? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview?

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

A common way to gain entry for some jobs is to be hired on after temping there for a period of time.

I have applied several times in the Reno and Spark Starbucks but never get an interview. I only want to work part-time because I have a full-time job alreay. I want to work for starbucks because the associates always seem to be having fun.

I applied for a District position with this company in PHX. I have food/service casual dining, retail and Coffee experience. My customer counts in one day, tripled what they do in a week. When you apply online, the #5 question is your salary expectations... I can see by the immediate response I received via email that I was not qualified was because my salary is much more appreciative than what they offer. I interviewed a few of their managers in the past as well... About 25-30,000 is what you can expect to pull out of them. Doesn't pay the bills does it.

Go during the heavy seasons, Christmas, early summer, or when colleges are out and people graduate and leave the company....

Give your application to the manager, and have a very bright and upbeat attitude and you'll almost always find an interview.

They are almost looking for Actors...or people who can come into work and no matter what be happy and reflect that onto customers...

I'm finding that with a lot of employers. They want the education & experience but don't want to pay for it.

Please note that if you are looking for a position in management, it depends on the standard of living within the state. Do not give up. I've been with the company for ten years... and although the initial pay may not be what you want, it is a company you can grow into.

Go to the website... if you are looking for a salary position, it is a great way to get your application in the loop.
If you are looking for hourly, see what stores are opening up in your area - I say this because it is a little easier to get an interview for a new store than a store that is seeing little to no turnover. One of the struggles for applicants is getting an interview. That is because the company has a goal of 75% or less turnover in a year! Think about the fact that your fastfood places have 150% - 200%. In this, I can speak to my store that spent almost a year and a half without any turnover at all. Go to that store you frequent, and be upbeat. Managers tend to spend only 5% of their working week, or less, on interviewing. If you think about that, it is really hard to schedule all those interviews of all those applicants. Managers are working managers; spending between 25 to 32 hrs a week on the floor side by side with their employees. Lastly, fill out the application entirely and with good attention to details. The more you put in, the more you get out - True of any job application.

Good Luck! I'm hiring in Woodstock Georgia if you're interested (Crabapple and Houze Road)

I am considering Starbucks or Borders coffee shop, Seattles best. Need part time with benefits. Do you know how much Starbucks pays? Thanks,JUDY PS I was a bartended for years, will this help?

To be appointed to a Starbucks Corporate position, is the process one in which you need to know somebody who knows somebody who can speak with somebody to ask if that somebody is aware of the resume that would most benefit the company and not just fill the position with the personal friends and previous working associates. I have tried to input my credentials into the corporate offices, and no matter how quickly your resume is submitted, someone elso is already being strongly for the newly posted position. The corporate circle of closed interviewing seems to be the same as a wagon train circled for protection! I assume the best and the brightest are not coffee baristas, or maybe even coffee drinkers. I prefer a frap, or some tasty coffee cake in the summer heat!

Starbucks doesn't pay retail managers well enough. Some stores, especially Drive Thru stores, are much difficult than lobby only stores in terms of operations. However, Starbucks' pay system do not see that. A store manager's starting rate is somewhere around 38,000. However, if you become a store manager, you will not only work for 40 hours per week. Some managers work 55~60 hours per week. Does it worth it?? You decide!

ask your nearest starbucks when they're having their next job fair and go to that. it's a quick way of processing your application and interview all in one shot.

If you've tried to be a barista directly through starbucks, and have no luck. Try going to a grocery store like Safeway that has a Starbucks Kiosk in it. They typically hire easier. The training is exactly the same as an actual starbucks, and It may help you get experience for an actual starbucks store. I used to train newbies at a Safeway Starbucks. Grocery store benefits are also better as long as you get at least 20 hours a week.

Trust me when I tell you to stay away from this company. A total waste of time and talent. I have worked for them for over a year and am ready to throw in the towel. They work you to death. It is all a propagabda that SBUX is one of the best companies to work for. Do not fall for it.

John, I feel sorry for your experience with Starbucks. However, there are a lot of partners (managers) out there who really care about the teams and try to develop their partners. Starbucks may not pay you well, but if you had a right manager, you would benefit a lot. But again, if you are looking for high-wage part time job, definitely not in Starbucks. I've been having fun working at Starucks.

Does anyone know the average pay for a district manager?

I went to a job fair two times and the first time I was told that the would give me a call to let me know what went on. The second time i was given a second interview and I thought that I had made it. Unfortunatly, I didnt make it. I decided to go to a store personally and give my application to them. I was gaven an interview and she told me she would call me by Friday to see if I got the job of not. Friday came by and nothing. I decided to call back and she had told me that she had already called her applicants. I think that Starbucks is a bunch of B*S* because during the interview they make it seem that they would hire you and they make you seem that you are what they are looking for. As time goes on they dont call and they just mess with you.

Not entirely true in my experience. It seems that the execution of the training plan suffers a bit because the scheduling guidelines for many licensed stores are not held to Starbuck's standard. I have been with Starbuck's (company operated stores) for nearly a decade and I have had to re-train many licensed store partners to some extent (I have two on my staff as of this posting, and they are fantastic!). It is absolutely true, though, that at the very least, when a manager sees that you have familiarity with the Starbuck's lineup, i.e. drinks, retail, coffee offerings, your application will jump to the top of the interview pile. From there, it's all about the face-to-face. Make it happen!

salary for which positions and in which part of the country? these things can vary quite a bit just with your geographic locaton, not to mention skill level and length of time in position. the hours are pretty straightforward: if you are salary, you are required to put in 40 hours and can probably expect an hour of o.t. each week. for hourly partners, it is entirely decided by 3 things: 1.your availability and desire for hours, 2. the business needs of the store and number of partners on the schedule, and 3.your plans for advancement. the reason for #3 is that i've seen partners with open availability in high-volume stores working only 15 hours a week because they are comfortable there. conversely, i have also seen high-performing partners in slow stores getting 30-35 hours a week because they want to advance and learn the business, they have the desire to be more than comfortable where they are so they create opportunities to do so. hope this helps!

Good luck.........they announced layoffs today.

I recently applied at a Starbucks in downtown Toronto. Not my ideal place, but I figured I'd apply everywhere I can. They called back 3 hours after I applied and set up an interview! However, I've been applying at a closer location several times and have no luck. I'm hoping that maybe if I work at the starbucks downtown for a while I will have more experience and will be able to move to a closer location.

The best way is to go in between the hours of 2p.m. and 4p.m. Make sure that you give your application and resume to the manager and let them know why you want to work there. Approaching the manager shows that you take initiative and want the job and going during the hours of 2-4 pm tuesday - Thursday allows the manager time to talk with you usually.

If you have a degree in business the manager will usually want to talk with you but you will need to show them that you are a servant leader and are willing to work hard. If you are not able to get through this way speak with the area district manager but only if you have a business degree and are willing to drive for your job.
