Job at Starbucks

<p>Does anyone here have a job at starbucks? How did you guys apply and what was the process?</p>

<p>I've always wanted to work there! I've never applied or anything, but I know that you have to be 18 to work there.</p>

<p>If I turn 18 in june, could I still submit an application before then?</p>

<p>I'd just wait until you're 18. Some places won't even accept an application until you are 18, and even if they do they will probably loose it before then.</p>

<p>My friend works at starbucks and she's 17. maybe it varies by state.</p>

<p>yeah sgtpepper08, my friend too. well she's 16 at the moment -- but she's doing it during the summer and by that time she'd be 17. </p>

<p>i want to get a job at jamba juice -- that's where all the high schoolers i know work.</p>

<p>It depends on the store. I know the one near my high school accepts 16 year olds, but another one only accepts those who are 18. Just ask! It sounds like a fun job, but that can also depend on location. I wouldn't want the morning shift at the Starbucks on Capitol Hill, for example, or the late night shift at the one near UMD's Frat Row.</p>

<p>Is it easy to get hired?</p>

<p>A lot of places like 18+, but they don't tell you. They just take your application, smile kindly, and never contact you again/</p>

<p>Out here near Seattle, Starbucks is the 'dream job' of many high school and college students...so it's competitive. I applied once...they had a 'job fair' where they basically interviewed everyone...then they called back some...and then well I don't know from there. ;)</p>

<p>Why is it the 'dream job'? hmm is it considered cool or something? A lot of people seem like they want to get a job there.</p>

<p>I wanted to get a job there too, but now I'm too lazy to work or even hand out my resumes.</p>

<p>It doesn't matter if your 18 or not
If your in high school you can be 23 and have the same availability as a 16 year old (Ridiculous corporate policy. If you are in high school no matter how old you or what any work permit says, no later than 10 and no earlier than 7 or 8, and no shifts longer than 4 hours).
Some managers bend the rules, some totally disregard them
my stores district manager came down on my store for it apparantly so byebye hours
The job is cool I guess
but sometimes just aggravating
but I love the people I work with
but the corporate policies are whack
and was happy to find out that McD iced coffee is way better (o well!)
there are quite a few sub18 year olds that work at starbucks
so go anyways
either fill out an app and hand it to the manager and let it be stuffed into a pile of 3904320 others
or go to a hiring event (how my district does it at least)
where you will be interviewed by managers at stores that need people.</p>

<p>They like smart people
somehow let them know
when my manager has hired idiots, they dont last</p>

<p>Do they discriminate against people who are 18 yet look really young?</p>

<p>Would a better bet be working at AMC theatre?</p>

<p>would a job at AMC theatre be better?</p>
