Show up with a leg of chicken and start eating it in front of them. Then lick your fingers and say, "Mmm, that was some good chicken," and answer their questions.

Otherwise, do research about their company? Show them what you know about KFC so that they know you know what you're getting yourself into.

As if anyone has ever worn tracksuits to an interview and expected to get the job? Please tell me this doesn't happen?

No, it happens - heard people dressed like they've just walked off the set of Jeremy Kyle complain about how unfair it is that nobody wants to employ them many, many times.

Already said this to someone else so I'll just c&p

Hi, I work at KFC and the interview is nothing to worry about - trust me
You have team-building exercises (build straw house, presentation on customer service and an item out of a magazine) - don't be shy or too bossy obviously
Then you have a 5 minute one-to-one interview with the usual questions - what's your weakness, have you experienced bad customer service bla bla bla
Like I said there's no need to worry, you've most likely got the job anyway And KFC is a good place to work as well Good luck!

Cool thanks I always worry about things more than necessary.

I used to work at KFC, and trust me, you don't have to be a genius to work there. You just have to be smiley and prepared to work for minimum wage.

For mine I wore fairly smart clothes, but black trousers and a plain smart t-shirt will be fine. They will ask things like why do you want to work for KFC, what hours can you work, and possibly just tell me a bit about yourself. Remember to smile, be confident and tell them you're flexible. You really have nothing to worry about, although the job itself can be pretty stressful.

As others have said, the chicken does run out, (not all the time but occasionally) which means unhappy customers. You have to be careful with giving out the right change as they check if your till is up or down in terms of money, and they don't like it if it's down. When it gets busy, everyone is running around and if you get a strict manager you'll be shouted at (but this is just from my own experience, some managers might be less evil than mine was!). It's certainly not as easy a job as is made out, as they have to meet strict criteria to pass checks undertaken by mystery shoppers. Sadly, hours can be long and wages low, but you can get a decent sum of money if you stick at it and it's just something on the side.

I don't want to put you off. I certainly met some great people working at KFC and enjoyed the extra cash! Just be prepared for it not to be as easy a job as "pick up chicken, put chicken in bucket", as many non-KFC workers will tell you

I figured it would probably be long hours but I'm hoping that the satisfaction of having some of my own money to spend will out way the cons.

It's genuinely one of those special moments where you sit, blink and wonder where humanity went so very, very wrong.

That sounds good actually I suppose its always worth doing a little bit of research.

You'd have to be a chimpanzee not to get the job, I wouldn't worry. On second thought a chimpanzee could probably get the job as well.

Hi I have a job interview for KFC in Monday and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I might have to do ???
also if I need to bring anything with me, what kind of questions will they ask and how should I dress??
this is my first interview and I'm a bit worried.

Make sure you don't eat all the chicken

You'll be thanking me after your interview...

[OddworldInhabitant]

The interview will be alright. Just promise me that when you get the job, you'll follow the orders correctly. The amount of times i get swindled at my local KFC is truly unreal.

I was wondering what its like working there? Are they flexible with hours? What is the hourly pay? And do you have any tips for the interview, what did you wear etc?
Thank you in advance

When I went it was more of a team building type thing rather than an actual interview which was nice. all the people in my branch have been really nice so far and although it can be tiring its a pretty okay job. because I'm under 18 my pay is only £4.00 an hour but if your over 18 its £4.98 and the have both pay rises and bonuses which it pretty nice. I wore a some black trousers, a nice white shirt and a pink cardie. I'd go relatively casual with a hint of business. I hope you do well If you want any more information just ask.
