Starbucks requires you to fill out a pretty lengthy application, which you may submit to multiple locations -- online. It's unfortunate to have to avoid in-person communications for the website, but you can always introduce yourself to a hiring manager. Once contacted for an interview, you are given the opportunity to come to a hiring fair, which is open interview style. You are usually surrounded by other job-seekers and managers from across the region. Starbucks tries to achieve the diversity goal by assigning managers to applicants at random, and having multiple hiring managers interview each client. It feels more like a meat market. Hope you get picked! You will receive a callback if you're hired -- if not, you usually don't get a call.
