Answer 1

Follow the tips on this page for a clear idea of how to prepare, what kind of questions to expect and how to make the interview go as smoothly as possible.

Getting ready for your interview
The secret to a good interview is preparation. Here are some pointers on how you can make the right impression.

1. Refresh your memory.
Look at the copy of your application form so you can remember how you answered the questions. Take it with you to the interview.

2. Know your stuff.
Rehearse answers to questions like why you want the job, what your skills and achievements are, why you think you'll fit in and what you think you'll add to the company.

3. What to wear.
Wear something clean and smart that you feel comfortable in. If your interview is for after school, your uniform is fine. Pay attention to grooming too - that way you'll feel and look confident.

4. On the day.
Make sure you leave plenty of time for your journey - plan to arrive about 15 to 20 minutes before your interview time. Check that you have your application form, mobile, map (if you've never been to the restaurant before) and of course, car keys or fare money.

5. Arriving
Let the shift manager know you've arrived.

Some typical questions
Here are some of the most common questions that get asked at an interview. Think about how you'd answer. Ask friends or family for their advice on what you can say.

Why do you want the job?
What do you know about McDonald's and why do you want to work for us?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
What are your career ambitions?
What achievements and skills do you think will be useful in this job?
What kind of things do you enjoy doing outside school/work?
You will probably be asked to give some examples of situations where you have worked or participated in a team and whether that worked well and if it didn't work well, why?

Be prepared to discuss any customer situations you've been in where you may have faced a difficult customer and how you handled that.

At the interview
If you're really nervous take some deep breaths and try to relax. We'll be asking you questions to find out a bit more about your skills and achievements.

Questions
Take your time when answering questions and try to show how your skills and abilities will help you perform the job. If you don't understand a question, don't be afraid to ask the interviewer to repeat it.

Your turn
Usually at the end of an interview, you'll be asked if you have any questions. Now's the time to clarify anything you're not sure of. Good questions to ask are about the training and the prospects. You can also ask when you might hear if you've been successful.

Answer 2

require uniforms with the company's logo on the shirt. Since you don't have one of those, you might want to mimic the uniform in other ways. For example, if you know that employees at the fast food restaurant for which you are applying wear black corporate polo shirts with jeans, you could very easily wear a black polo shirt and jeans to the interview. Likewise, if the job requires khaki's, you should go out and purchase a pair to wear to the interview. Jewelry should be tasteful and elegant, and should not in any way compromise the position you are seeking. For example, a fast food restaurant will not appreciate large hoop earrings. You should also make an effort to wear clothing that covers any tattoos or body piercings.This is especially true for a job in a restaurant, though many people overlook it. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, your fingernails should be clean and short. Women should avoid nail polish unless it is a pale color.Make sure that your shirts are neatly pressed and that your pants or jeans are free of holes and faded spots. If you need to wear a jacket, make sure that it is clean and ironed and that it complements your shirt and pants.

Answer 3

Skirt and heels might be a little overkill, but better to err on the side of too nice than too sloppy. Otherwise, a nice pair of slacks (NOT jeans), an unrevealing and not-too-tight top (not a t-shirt) and maybe a jacket (depending on the top) would be a good choice, along with shoes that aren't tennis shoes (you can wear heels with jeans, as long as they aren't too dressy for the outfit).

Answer 4

maybe a nice shirt. like layers with a v neck sweater
some dark jeans, or white pants
boots, shoes, or sneakers. not high heels when it comes to a fast food job
a neclace and some earings

Answer 5

Dressing up would certainly not be out of line. At a minimum, wear nice slacks and a shirt, not jeans or flip-flops or sneakers.

Answer 6

Skirt and heels are overboard. I would wear a nice pair of black or brown pants and a matching nice top. That will show you are mature and professional and can handle a job.

Answer 7

I would suggest a pair of blck slacks a white button p blouse and a black bussiness jacket, pluss high heels are fine

Answer 8

Nice impression... s'long as they're not like six inch heels or anything... and that she can walk comfortably in them... she'll be getting a tour of the back kitchens and the floors can get slippy.. I advise caution.

Answer 9

Jeans and a shirt. Just appropriate clothes.

Answer 10

A nice suit with slacks, hair pinned up and easy on the make up. Conservative but not prudish,lol
