Question Posted Thursday July 3 2008, 7:52 am

I'm applying for Starbucks, and while I know they probably won't hire me yet (I'm 16 with no other past jobs, this would be my first one) I need to try. Its pretty much the last place I'm turning in my resume...

But there's this one question that I don't know how to answer correctly. My mother, a former McDonalds boss, shot down all of my answers. And well, here's the question:

"Describe a situation where you have provided excellent customer service in your most recent position. Why was this effective?"

When applying to starbucks, turning in an application doesn't do much. They have job fairs about once a month in every area. Go to one of those and you'll probably get hired!

They actually do hire at 16 by me, so you may have a better chance then you think.

If you havent had any other working ecperience you could either leave it blank, or maybe write about a past task in which you proided excellent service, maybe babysitting or volunteer work.

hmm,i had this question on one of my applications too.I left it blank because it was going to be my first job too,i think it asks you meaning "recent position" like the recent job you had how did you provide excellent customer service? make sense? so since it's going to be your first job i wouldn't write anything.
