I can't believe you have 2 rounds when i worked at macdonald's it was a 10 minute interview got offered the job there and then. Then a couple of days later you went to macdonald's and watched health stuff on a video and then started a couple of days after that. I wore black trousers and a shirt but a friend of mine went in jeans and a tshirt and also got a job there. x

But bear in mind there are currently tonnes of students applying for jobs in McDonalds. Its not about not being good enough for the job, OP. If there just aren't enough jobs to go around you won't get one. Try applying to others in the area. The interview I went to was totally different. I had a group interview in a restaurant where we just did team-building games and stuff (In which you just need to be the one that visibly gets involved, because most people just clam up) then a 5 minute one on one interview, and we were told there and then if we'd got the job.

Thanks for all this great info, I have an interview at mcdonalds tomorrow and was wondering if it would be a group or one-on-one but seems like different stores use different methods!

Jesus you must have a competitive McDonald's. I'm waiting for an interview at the moment but my mate works there and she just went to interview, talked for a few minutes, got job - yours makes it sounds like you're applying for a £250,000 bank loan or something,

When the car is coming through it sets off a buzzer and get your ass up to the window. Car pulls up, you take their order and press correct buttons on till (till is very simple - its all labelled like "Medium Extra Value Meals" then "Big Mac Meal" so its easy to use) then take their money, give them straws and sauces and "You can collect your order at window 3". When there isn't a car there you'll be like washing up, making salads and yoghurt, that kind of thing.

Its easy, once you've been shown how to use the till and that, you will get the hang of it in 20 minutes no problem. Just remember to smile and say hello and goodbye and stuff. :smile:
