[bmh16]

Just applied online, took ages, i'm desperate now!

[LittleMissTwinkle]

had first shifts today!:| omg, im shattered! so many people who i knew came in as well LOL

[rt]

I also had my first shifts today! It's a great atmosphere but obviously gets hot and stressful during busy periods especially during busy times. My trainer is nice and she's taught me everything and all the staff their are really nice and we had a laugh. Shame I'm only their for 2 weeks whilst I am doing my training. lol

you get staff discount and then you get discount at a load of other places like Alton Towers and places like that, too many to mention. Once you can login to 'our lounge', you can access a page which details all of the benefits.

when do you get the discount card?

I got mine at the welcome meeting along with my uniform and welcome pack, it's only a temporary one though, it expires next month.

I'm feeling a bit demoralised. I've applied to a few branches online and have already been rejected by two. Without even acknowledging the fact that I think it's a ridiculous way to assess somebody's suitability for the position, I'm starting to doubt my own capabilities. Did I really answer the questions that badly? Grr...

How did you answer the questions? I'm working at McDonald's now but I've been rejected by them in the past. You learn more from your mistakes/rejections than you do from when everything is going great. You just need to work out where you are going wrong.

Do you mean rejected by them saying you haven't got the job, or that they just haven't replied to you?

What happens on the OJE and Job Orientation at McDonalds?

[matt bass]

The On The Job evaluation in our store is when a candidate is asked to present food to a customer in our Drive Thru. They are told to treat the customer as they think they should so lots of big smiles, hello, good bye, have a good day type stuff.

Orientation is when successful applicants are provided with some general info about McDs and when bank details, national insurance, and some basic food safety info is given out.

[tokyorose888]

its easy to get in but maybe you dont suit the hours their looking for, i guarnatee that if you put anytime anytime anytime on all days, your certainly gonna get an interview

[rt]

Yes, lots of you might think McDonalds is a doss but when you're attempting to meet targets such as 600pounds being taken in an hour you need to ensuring food is created fast and efficently. It is hard work to get it exactly right

could somebody tell me where the recruitment or head office is in london?

[rt]

I don't know the head office but restuarants recruit staff on a indiviual basis. www.mcdcareers.co.uk will show all the McDonalds within a certain distance from your postcode and show you how many if their are any vacancies. If you want to proceed you can apply online or go into the store and ask for an application form.

Important Question Please: To All Who Work At Mcdonalds, Did You Get Paid For Your Oje? As I Recieved About 20quid, And Not Sure If It's For The Oje As It Couldn't Of Came From Anywhere Else. Also, If You Do Get Paid For Your Oje, Will It Be On The Wage Slip? Cheersx

Hi, I have an interview at Mcdonalds tomorrow, is that the oje?? I wasn't told so on the phone so I assumed it is just an interview. xx
