How often do you give an A+ effort while working?
The interviewer wants to hear that you always put your best foot forward at work. Share with the interviewer that you respect your employer and understand that they trust you to be working hard while at work. Remember that food service can be tough work! You'll be on your feet moving around for most of the shift, especially at Starbucks' busier locations. A hardworking and energetic attitude is key to success in this role, and the interviewer will want to make sure that you can fulfill that each shift.
"I know that Starbucks baristas strive to provide guests with the best experience possible. I give my best effort at work, from the time I start to when I walk out the door. It's important to me to show up ready to work hard and not slack off during a shift. As a server for the past two years at a high-volume restaurant in the city center, I know firsthand how rewarding hard work is, and I'm sure that the references I provided would attest to my diligent work ethic."
