hi unfortunately i just got rejected after completing both interviews. i applied to multiple starbucks about 2 weeks ago and got a call back from one 3 days after about interviewing. i didn’t tell anyone bc i felt i’d jinx my changes until really last minute too. anyway my interview was that next week on tuesday and i felt like it went really well. (btw i had full availability since im an online college student and was willing to work at 4am) i made the hiring manger laugh a bit and felt like we really related on our experience of being college students. at the end of the interview she seemed excited to get me in for a second interview with the district manager. unfortunately this d.m had some personal issues going on so the hiring manger said she’d see if see can get a hold of her quickly, if not ask another d.m to interview me. i waited until the following week on monday for her to call me back and we scheduled my interview for friday may 1st. i showed up to my interview location and saw multiple candidates waiting to be interviewed. we ended up doing a group interview since the d.m. scheduled to many people which caught me a bit off guard. luckily it was only 3 of us but still. after the interview i felt a little off and ig it was my gut telling me i probably didn’t get the job. they told me id hear back by sunday or monday. so they called monday and unfortunately i was out driving running some erruns when i realized i received a message and phone call. i was a bit confused since the call said it was from a random city and not sbs like it usually does. but once i saw the message i knew it was from the store manger. i called back and was told to call back in the morning since the manger left. that’s when i saw that i received an email from this starbucks location that looked like an rejection email. (ive seen hundreds of rejection emails for sbs so i didn’t even have to open it lol) then i called back first thing this morning and was rejected :( they moved on with a different candidate. she was really sweet about it and said to continue applying to different locations aswell. even though i literally have for months like ahh. i can’t even apply yet bc the job offerings haven’t expired yet.
anyway i’m a bit sad and disappointed since i felt like everything was going really well. i’m trying to remain positive since i did receive an email from another sbs location saying they wanted to interview. i emailed them back and haven’t heard back yet (it’s been 6 days so idk???) i also called this location after getting rejected lol and was told to just wait for the manager to respond.
but how do yall deal with this rejection omg. i’m glad i got more interviewing experience but like damn i went through all that :( it’s okay though rejection is redirection ig. now i just don’t know what to do ive been applying non stop everywhere and haven’t heard back. maybe that why i got excited about these interviews too. i felt like things were finally aligning for me but ig not😭
