Starbucks Barista Application

Everyone's really here for my misadventures with job-hunting and job interviews. Here's a recent opening that I was called for: A Barista post for Starbucks. How to start with your application? You can start by grabbing one of their application forms in any of their branches (and grabbing a decaf cup of white chocolate mocha too, if you were me).

Here is a sample application form that you can grab in any of their stores. I got mine from SM Calamba. Click on the image to enlarge it. DO NOT download it an fill it up and pass it to them. I just posted this so you have an idea of what it looks like and what information it's asking for.


You can fill this up and submit it to the manager on duty. But if you're tech-savvy and prefer the internet to do things for you, just send a resume to the e-mail address provided in the brochure:

You can also click on the link provided in their Facebook profile. For your convenience, you can also just click the link here.


If you get called for an initial interview, you'll be asked to go to their office at the first floor of Urban Building, located beside SM Cyber Two (which is beside the MRT Buendia Station.) Just hop on the MRT and you won't get lost. It's a group interview, so don't be shy and bring your game. If you make it through the first stage, they'll give you a "hooray you made it! Congratulations!" letter. Good luck!

All Things Starbucks Here

All things Starbucks-related go here.


I don't frequent Starbucks because we all know it's pretty expensive for a middle-class student. If I want coffee or hot choco, I'll always go to cheaper alternatives, like McDonalds' (they have awesome hot choco) or Country Style (where you can get a cup of brewed coffee + free refill for only P40). And besides, my last experience drinking a Mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks ended up in me getting palpitations.


But I met friends who worked there, and also, my aunt loves going there, and so we would always cap our mall trips this vacation season with going to Starbucks to get some coffee or tea for her, hot choco for me. It was almost a once-a-day ritual during our stay at Calamba, where we were in SM Calamba almost every day.

9:45 AM , at Starbucks SM Calamba. Just got off the bus and was so hungry I just dove into everything, forgetting to take a picture. Fail.

I always order their Hot Choco. I prefer the Classic one as opposed to the Signature one.

White Chocolate Mocha Latté. Decaf. Yummy. I should order all my coffee decaf from now on. It's sweet and light, oozing with the white choco flavor.

The staff at the store in Calamba were also very nice, open, and smiling, good to you even when you asked them ridiculous questions. Save for one woman who was upset over something and yelling at the other employees. My friends who worked at Starbucks would be angry to hear that. They always told me everyone in Starbucks stores are nice, from the Barista to the Managers. Meh.

Cheers to the Starbucks SM Calamba store for putting up with us. From Jakilyn Chipeco.
