It's MacDonalds. You do know that if you passed the online thing that means you have the job, right? The interview is just to check if you are human - I have had several friends work at McDs and that is what happens. The interview is incredibly basic.

For proper interview advice, open up your wrists when sitting on the chair and never cross legs or hold hands. Sit with both arms on each chair arm (or your leg) and sit up but not back. The opening up the wrists thing means that you are trusting towards the interviewer (you're in a vulnerable position and your main artery is at full view, is the most basic explanation) and sitting normally shows that you aren't either defensive or too arrogant.

The small details are all that count in an interview. It's a fact that 90% of interviews are decided before the interviewer speaks. It's a subconscious reaction by the interviewer, but that is how it works. Smile and give a firm hand shake.

You will be absolutely fine. Trust me.

Wheee, thanks. Great advice.

Oh please do tell! :3

I worked at McDs for a very short time and it was quite a while ago, I think I was 14, but basicly I never quite got it into my head that I was meant to say "Fries" - I always said "Chips", (or "chups", whatever.) The manager had a problem with this and informed me of this fact but I never quite got it. Finally after another "reminder" by the manager I argued that people didn't mind and since most New Zealanders say "chips" anyway that probably what they should be called. He told me that it was McDonalds policy to call them fries so I should call them fries. I said it was a stupid policy and should be changed. He told me it wasn't my place to argue and I should just accept it. I muttered something under my breath about how if I ran the damn place I'd change the stupid policy - or something. Whatever I said he decide that he'd give me this challenge: "If you want to run this place then apply for it, write an application on why you should manage this McDonalds" or something along those lines. I tried to back out of it but he insisted. This is where the Post-it comes in. I wrote my argument for why I should manage the damn place on the Post-it and stuck it on his desk. My argument was obviously:

"I'm more qualified than you, dickhole".

Suffice to say it got me fired. It also explains why "McDonalds Worker" doesn't appear on my CV.

It was a stupid thing to do really but I don't regret it.

ja

£9 an hourish, sitting on your arse at poolside for 30 mins, then 20 mins sup'ing in the gym, then 10mins for a fag and a coke. free comp membership, half price on hiring stuff (5aside etc). and you get to watch fit girls fucking around in bikinis.

though tbf most of the time its just watching useless old people swim up and down, and deal with little shitbricks who think they're amazing.

like you have to keep up with the training. and be a generally way above average swimmer. and have mummy and daddy pay for the training & test.

basically, you can't really slack on getting there, until you actually get there.

my 'mcjob' was a laugh as well. I got into arguments with the big fat lesbian shift-manager, carly, quite a lot. And i got thrown off shift one day for wearing white socks. So i threw a wobbly. Told all the staff to get out while they still could, and laughed and pointed at all the managers for their pathetic 'career' choice. Haha.

You need to tell them you can improve their automated inventory system. Tell them you are not looking for a job, but that you have a vision about the company, and that you see the very existence of the franchise hinging upon their hiring of you. Maybe bring in some charts and graphs and a recipe or two for the next big " McRib " sandwich type of event.

Locoloki: I got Mug 222 at Gritty's!!!!; +216|7065|Your moms bedroom

I worked at mcdicks...tell them you want to work grill, much more time to fuck off and throw pickles in the deep fryer

i started out at the cash register but my drawer was mysteriously short all of the time. ( i didnt take the money so IDK)

they got fed up and put me out back and it was ten times better, not dealing with stupid hick customers who treat mcdonalds like a 5 star diner and idiots who order 60 chicken nuggets at a time and wonder why it takes so long to get them

also remember than in 3 years youll probably be making 3 times the money the douche interviewing you will be, (and they will still be there)

You have to be "ultra good"?

I wouldn't say so, and I've been lifeguarding for 3 and a bit years.
