Yeah I think personality is one of the most important qualities for a customer-facing role like Starbucks. They probably hire a lot of people who don't have barista experience, but they will prioritize people who seem like good team players and great with customers

Read up on the company's mission and values, and the job description. Make sure you're aligned and that you truly love connecting with all sorts of people. If you don't have much work experience, lean on other experience you have that can be applicable (volunteering, team sports or group projects).

Congrats on your interview! Talk with a friend, family member, or even your phone camera about your experience for 3 to 5 minutes until you’re really comfortable with it. Then before you go into the interview reminder yourself the reason you’re here is because they WANT to hire you, so don’t be nervous.

Congratulations on landing that interview! I wouldn’t stress yourself out too much. Just be yourself. If you’re interviewing for an in store position, they are most likely looking for someone friendly who will put a good face on the company. Good luck to you!

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
