I have been to a job fair and did my best. They seemed to like me but I received no call back. Any tips on how to get the job and knock their socks off at the interview? This is my dream job!

Best thing to do is NOT wait for them to contact you but for YOU to contact them. Let them know you're interested, stand apart from the crowd!

Demonstrate your best asset. If you're large on top, show it off, if you're smart and plain, dress conservatively and read the "history of Starbucks" along with the financials for the past 6 months and learn the different types of beans. You know research.

yes, contact them, and ask for an interview. tell them you're very passionate about coffee and the company. do your research on the company. they are also very impressed with knowledge of coffee. they will give you a bible and you will have to learn it, so go to the website and read up! also, you must have impeccable customer service skills and must be able to memorize many many drink recipes and also multiple orders at a time.

How about the old-fashioned way: just show up, fill out an application, and express your enthusiasm (without laying it on excessively thick, needless to say). I wish you good luck.

YOU SOUND ENTHUSIASTIC WHICH IS A GREAT START. CHECK ON THE INTERNET " SEARCH " TOO. LOOK IN THE PAPERS TOO FOR JOBS MAKING COFFEE. ALWAYS GO IN PERSON AND TALK WITH THE MANAGER OF THE PLACE. OR YOU COULD EVENTUALLY START YOUR OWN ESPRESSO STAND AND GRIND YOUR OWN BEANS ( FRENCH ROAST AND MOCHA JAVA ) WHATEVER ! ! DO WELL ! IF THEY REQUIRE OTHER THAN ON THE JOB TRAINING THEN ATTEND A CLASS ON IT GET YOUR CERTIFICATE. FIRST.

First, you must be a young liberal with a lot of piercings. Tattoos would also help.
Second, you have to believe that Al Gore really won.
Third, you must look really puzzled if a guy in a cowboy hat just asks for a cup of coffee, and then say... "what would you like in that?" (snidely)
Fourth, You have to believe that your $#!T really has no stench....
and that at age 19 you know better than your elders.
