Jst had my first shift today, well im at uni at the moment and got A C C from a level so i dont think its the grades....But trust me, im sure you can get better than mcdonalds unless your desperate for a job like me.
It can get way too hot in the kitchen and from today i dont think im going to eat in mcdonalds lol

They could care less about your grades. Mcdonalds has a high employee turnover rate, they realise very well that you're not looking for a long term career there so they wouldn't really care about how long you're staying for. The only reason they'd not take you on is if they've already got enough staff or don't like your personality. My mcdonalds at least has had some choice characters working there so i'm not even all that sure if personality is so important.

[littleruby]

Did you get rejected after going to the interview or did they just tell you they didn't want you from an online application? I've applied online and haven't heard anything from them other than getting an email saying they'd recieved my application lol.

please take a picture of the letter and post it on here

They don't reject people who are 'too clever'. My friend with 14 A*s at GCSE who is going to do history at Cambridge next year works there and I doubt anyone here is cleverer than him .

I doubt it is THAT careful though, to be honest. Either a computer app using scores or somebody quickly glancing over with a sheet of "correct" answers for the personality test.

Ive applied last thursday and they send me a mail today. The only thing I will say is luck, and right time, my cousin got accepted and dropped out of school in year 10.

[Reflexive]

I worked there for a month

Don't worry, you're not missing anything. It's f-ing awful.

[project_natal]

I was rejected too and I had experience and great gcse grades. I was shocked as my cousin failed all of his and got the job!

Keep trying and trying, also check other sites like sainsburys, boots, pc world, currys, gumtree, I see you live in birmingham and ive recently seen some adverts in gumtree.

Peace.

To those that are a bit disheartened, the sooner you get used to it in life, the better.

Somewhere like McDonalds is far from the typical example, but with each rejection you get, you try and build from it and improve upon the next application interview. Anyone trying to get a job in IB this year will tell you it was complete hell, and it's the same in many industries, but the principle is the same, you learn from your mistakes.
