Starbucks

Hi, anyone ever work or apply for a job in starbucks? I know, it's up there with the corporate monsters like McDonald's but am desperate. They are all over the place & dropped CV's in to 5 different ones in Blanchardstown center alone the other day. Don't tell me even starbucks is impossible to get a job in!!

Its very apparant when people think they are too good for service jobs, and that is probably why a company like Starbucks wouldn't want you. In this climate there are plenty of people who are more than happy to work in service jobs and hopefully the jobs will go to them

Not sure if that link will work but if not go to jobs.ie and search starbucks- they're hiring shift supervisors and an assistant manager.

Job snobbery. When you go to college - they fill your head with expectation.

When you leave college - you think you are entitled to a payback for all the hard work you put into a course.

A lot of job snobbery went with the celtic tiger.

Actually the problem now is that even if you have the attitude that you want to work - any work at all, sweeping floors, whatever - most companies look at your CV and say "won't take them, they'll be gone the minute something better/else comes along".

It's a total catch-22. Eagerness to work (and some ability) is no longer enough for most employers. They are as much to blame as anyone else.
