I personally think that the recruitment process of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf company is open and fair. Everyone has an equal opportunity to apply for the job as there are advertisement everywhere. If one is interested and qualified, he can always apply the job through website.

As for me, I think that it is good to be a barista in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I'm too young to be in-charge of other job positions in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I think that the job specifications of being a barista is reasonable. Bilingual is actually necessary when there are foreign tourists. If a barista can't handle between the communication skills, that will affect the reputation of the company. A part-time barista is suitable for me as I've got to study. However, I have to wait until next year because I don't have the IGCSE O' level qualification yet.
