Dutch Bros Interview UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Three Things you would bring to a deserted Island? - CORRECT ANSWER - I would say my
music because no matter what the situation is, I always feel better with the right soundtrack
A satellite phone in order to contact the outside world and help plan a rescue
then I should probably say something like matches or a desalination tool to provide fresh water,
but in my imagination a magic wand would probably be more useful.
Rate your communication skills from 1-10 and tell us why you chose that rating. - CORRECT
ANSWER - I would rate myself an 8 for communication skills in part because I believe that
there is always room for improvement. I am capable of effectively communicating complex ideas
to large teams as well as on a one-on-one basis. i am also an active listener which is a vital
component of the two-way street of communication and I am not afraid to ask clarifying
questions to avoid misunderstanding or confusion.
Why do you want to work for Dutch Bros? - CORRECT ANSWER - I love the fact that
Dutch Bros coffee is a successful business that initiated locally and that they offer opportunity
for their employees to grow and advance within the company. I feel like there is a lot I could
learn from this organization. But beyond that, I was attracted to Dutch Bros because of its culture
of care, not only towards employees and customers but towards local communities. it is inspiring
to see this company serve communities beyond providing a tasty product, but through programs
such as "Be aware" that supports the fight against Breast Cancer, "Dutch luv" that donates to
local food banks, and "Buck of Kids" that supports youth organizations. I have long admired
Dutch Bros. generosity and since being welcomed into the family I have had the privilege of
seeing that the reputation this company has built is more then just hype, it is genuine. The
prospect of helping this company and its culture continue to expand excites me.
What color would you be? - CORRECT ANSWER - Purple - it combines the fiery energy of
red with the calm stability of blue and to me represents loyalty, dignity, and creativity.
, Spirit Animal? - CORRECT ANSWER - I would probably say a beaver, not just because I
attend OSU and that's are mascot, but because I find beavers to be industrious, organized, and
creative animals who never give up on a project and that exemplifies my work ethic.
what are your weaknesses - CORRECT ANSWER - Too analytical at the start of a project
I think one of my weaknesses is that I can at times be too analytical at the start of a project. I like
to get all of the facts and then establish a clear objective with a plan A, B and C for how to
accomplish a goal. I have been working on improving my speed in selecting a path without
allowing the quality of my work to suffer, but this is still a work in progress.
If I am being completely honest, I think one of my biggest weaknesses is that I can struggle with
being confident in my work. I like to check and double check my work before submitting it and I
enjoy constructive feedback of any sort that helps me know whether I am headed in the right
direction.
Tell me about a time you failed - CORRECT ANSWER - in one of my courses, we were
required to participate in a supreme court simulation. I was really excited about this project. I had
researched every detail of the case we were assigned and had a well-crafted argument ready to
go. my role in the simulation was that of chief justice. part of my responsibilities was to preside
over the conference and facilitate discussion between the other 8 justices on the court. on the day
of the simulation, I spent so much of my time ensuring that the others were able to present their
case and that their contribution was respected, that I failed to present my own findings and
opinion of the case. as a result, all the time I spent researching and developing this airtight
argument became irrelevant because I did not speak up for my own ideas. I have learned a lot
from this experience. in the leadership roles, I have taken on since I have worked hard to find a
balance between encouraging the ideas and participation of others without allowing my own
unique contribution to be stifled.
What are your greatest strengths - CORRECT ANSWER - My strong work ethic is probably
my greatest strength. my hard working attitude paired with my passion for learning allows me to
go above and beyond what an assignment asks of me. this is evidenced by the fact that I have
completed my college education in only 3 years. because I tend to take on added responsibility, i
have had to cutivate exceptional organizational skills in order to make sense of seemingly
chaotic situations and adhere to rigid deadlines.
