I suppose you should call them and ask yourself.

 

[jnney]

do you still need advice?

 

[Alkenes]

yes please

do you still need advice?

 

[jnney]

yes please

generally at fast food chains the interviews that you will have are very 'lax.

for kfc, they asked me the very typical questions, like:

-why do you want to work here?
-why should we choose you and what can you offer to us?
-what does customer service mean to you?
-what qualities do you have?

at dominoes, the interview was much more personal:

-tell me about yourself, describe your personality
-what are your hobbies?
-where do you see yourself in 10 years?
-why do you want this job?
-what do you do in your spare time?
-any co-curricular activites?

i've never had an interview with mc donalds, but from what my friends tell me, their interviews are much more on the personal side:

-what is your favourite and least favourite subject?
-what would you do if someone called you a _______ idiot? (insert race)
-why do you want this job?
-what kind of profession do you want to enter?

the interview will only be about 5 minutes or so, either on the seats at mc donalds, or they might take you behind into the manager's office or the seating area when the workers are on their breaks. just relax, be friendly, and familiarize yourself with these questions.

"what kind of profession do you want to enter?"

> i wish to gain first class honours in advanced mathematics at unsw, before moving onto a doctorate and entering into the academic aspect of pure mathematics...

Pretty sure you could whip your dick out and start masturbating furiously in front of the manager at Macca's and you would still get hired by them.

Its not all that serious, the moment you get asked for an interview they already want you 80% just put a little effort in the interview and you're all set.

The basic pay for a casual is 13.68/h and on a sunday starting at 8am i get 15.14/h. I think ur better of thinking about if you're going to survive the environment in there than passing the interview.

 

[Alkenes]

Tell me about a situation where the conditions weren't favourable and you overcame it.

i cnt think of any....plzzz helppp

[Alkenes]

anyoneee?

 

[Chronost]

Nah nothing was attached in the email mate...

???

They don't need your consent to anything if your not getting hired. So if there asking you for consent then you likely to be hired, unless your like aged less then 15 and 9 months or something.

The "conditions weren't favourable" thing you can say something like "I suddenly was piled with 4-5 assessments as school(not due to my laziness of course) but I also had to go to band camp(or something), I wasn't in the best mood but decided to sort everything else to make it go more smoothly. I decided to go and talk to my teacher(s) about band camp and managed to get an extension on some of my assessment which allowed me by working my butt off to complete them to a good standard and hand them in on time.

Just don't look like a nervous person and when they ask to clarify your availability times try and fit as much in as you can. After 4-6 months you can change and mould them to more favorable times that you want.

They just sit you down and look at the regime, they ask questions about it, like they asked a bit about my interests, nothing too big. Pretty much the interview is making sure you're not a retard lol. Before you go in, think of why you want to work there. Its not a hard interview at all, also pay is terrible its borderline slavery lol, like 12-13 bucks for 17 year old.

 

[Alkenes]

how much for 17 year old trainee?

The interview questions depends on different mangers. I had an interview in a Maccas in the west an the interview was short and simple. They just asked me simple questions like:
1. Why do you want to work at Maccas?
2. What sport to you do?
3. What extra curricular activity do you do at school?

Whereas at another Maccas in north west sydney, the manager takes interviews seriously in order to monitor the suitable candidate to hire. They asked many questions like:
1. Why do you want to work in Maccas? ( the generic one)
2. What co curricular activities did you do in school?
3. What is your life philosophy after all these years? ( an unusual one considering this is Maccas)
4. Describe five things about yourself
5. What sport did you play?
6. Have you done any charity work before?
7. What are you strengths and weaknesses?
8. How do you improve your weakness?
9. What do you want to gain from working in Maccas?
10. Describe how do your friends see you.
11. What are the strong qualities in which you'll bring to Maccas.

Interview questions can vary depending on which manager who's interviewing you. The key to blitzing through the interview is just to be confident and answer them as if you would answer someone like your friend ( of course in a more formal way). Good luck!

Yeh I know lol, I think hmm I can easily get a job somewhere else because I have like 3 years Maccas experience, but ehh too much effort lol.

My interview was good. She said she'll tell me whether it was successful or not via email.
How long do they take to inform us?

Depends all on the manager and how long he needs to decide between candidates or whether you'll fit in. Usually up to a week should do.But don't be suprised if it goes towards two weeks.
