I applied at Starbucks for a barista position - what are my chances of getting hired, before I call the store?
-
I worked from October of last year until mid-May of this year as a hostess at a sushi restaurant before I had to quit, seeing as I was leaving on an extended vacation. Now that I am back home, I want to apply for a job closer to where I live, as well as something different from hosting. There are a couple concerns, however. While I have decent experience working with people in the food service industry, it was clearly not at all with coffee, so I would obviously have to be trained for the position. However, I have to leave for college in October, so I am worried I will not be hired anywhere as a new employee for such short period of time. Anything other than the drinks itself I feel qualified to handle thanks to my previous job. I am friendly, hardworking, and can calmly deal with even the rudest of people (we get a lot in the service world). Is it even worth it to call and inquire about my application, or should I look for something else? I am about to apply at Petsmart as well, as a cashier, but have the same concern. I would much prefer working at Starbucks, however. Any tips/ideas/general information is greatly appreciated.

Answer:
We are not psychic. If they want you they'll call.

Call them. My wife worked for Starbucks in college. Once you are hired and trained, you can work at other stores. Also, they provide health insurance if you have over 25 hours (I think) per week on average.
