How do I get a fastfood job?

Question

Im 16(17 in about a week), and im looking for a fastfood job but am not sure where to start out. Where do I get the ball rolling?

Answer 1

The hardest part is walking in and asking for an application at the counter.

Don't worry if you don't have any job experience whatsoever. It can be intimidating leaving spaces blank on an application, but do it that way if you have to.

If you volunteered or did any other kind of non-paying work, put it on there, even if there's no offical space for it. Make it fit.

They'll hire you with no experience.

(And don't forget to bring an ink pen. It can make a bad impression if you don't.)

Answer 2

Go in to the restaurant during a non busy time (around 2-5) and ask for an application. Be dressed nice but not over the top. Fill out the application and give it to the manager with a smile. You should have the job!

Answer 3

First, get a food handlers card. Contact your local health department about that. They shouldn't be more than 10-15 bucks.

Second, have you actually walked into a fast food place and filled out an application? That will get the ball rolling.

Answer 4

Just go to the one's you are interested in and ask for an application. Take it home and fill it out. It helps to dress nice when going for an interview. You should have no problem getting a job they are always hiring. Pick a place that you enjoy the food, so that you can use your discount.

Answer 5

Go to fast food places and ask to speak with a manager. Introduce yourself when they come, shake their hand and ask them for an application. Be sure to thank them. Turn the application back in to the same manager (remember their name to ask for them again). This will make you stick out in their mind over other applicants who just ask a regular employee for one and turn it back in to another regular employee, and have no contact with the person hiring. Fill out the application neatly and put as much info as you can- after school activities, previous jobs- even if it's for a family member baby sitting. Anything helps. If you dont hear back within a week, call them and check back with them. if you get an interview, search online for "interview tips/questions" so you know what to expect and can prepare yourself.

Answer 6

First, choose a restaurant that you genuinely like. Next, make sure that the company treats their employees fairly. Ask the people that work there if they enjoy working there. Also, look up the company's website, and check them out. Go into the restaurant, and ask for the manager. Tell the manager that you like that company, and that you think that YOU would be a benefit to their team. Be sure to use ONLY positive words. Don't use negative words. Compliment the company for their quality, style, and reputation. Trust me, this is going to impress the manager. Don't "blow smoke up his ***" by being phony. Be sincere and honest. If you truly like this restaurant, it will show by what you say about them. If they ask you what your goals are in life, be sure to tell them that you're interested in making a difference in the world. Best of luck to you, my friend!!

Answer 7

What kind of question is this?? Just go and apply. They are such a big turn over you will be able to get a job. Make sure you have weekends available this is what they want to see from you.

Answer 8

Go to your local fastfood places and see if they're hiring. Find someplace..and apply.. lol

Answer 9

Pick one of any. Its really not going to matter they will hire you and you will not like your job. You start at the back and move to the counter. Not that the move will pay more just a differnt view.

Answer 10

Go to McDonalds and go up to the front counter and ask for the manager and tell them that you would like to apply for a job.
