So Im trying to get my first job at McDonalds so I can get some damn work experience in. This morning they called me and I picked up my phone and I think there might have been a bad connection, but they didnt say anything on the other line. I figured since I submitted an application there, maybe they wanted to bring me in for an interview. Should I call them back and ask them why they called, or just ask if I can check up on the status of my application. God damn I hope I get a job soon.
[quote name='"Mike 408"']Just called them back, got an interview. Swag Anyone have any interview tips?[/quote] Dress overly nice (not like a suit and tie or anything, but button up, tuck in, business casual pants) They will likely ask what makes you a good team member.... say you love to lead but work well in any position on a team lol
Tips? Just be calm, talk like an adult, and don't mention 'religion - music - politics - or sports' (unless the interviewer has a sports item on his/her desk) - Make yourself look responsible - dress nice. - Arrive 10min early - no bs. - Since your in the food industry, your availability is a key virtue to your manager. - Honesty. Most mangers know how to sift thru the bs.. that's why they are managers. Most jobs like this mainly want competent people that can be counted on when it gets neck deep in the bull shit during 1pm Sat Lunch rush. The "I don't party much/drink much but still have fun" idea but you need to be real w/ them. Learning ppl in these types of position in the work-place will make ur job 10x easier. If you are enthusiastic and excited so are they to bring you on board. Gl man
Im only going to work there for like 3 months or until I can find a better place to work at. Gotta start somewhere.
What planet are you living on?(forgot to qoute the guy, but the mentioning of "you have to be white and educated" is laughable) Every freaking chain resturant aka fast food joint i've ever seen has been totally comprised of multi-racial employees. Don't try'in bring stigma into it.
Smile, try to appear confidant even if you're scared out of your mind and be enthusiastic, but not overly so
