Job Interview for KFC any advice ???

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

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!

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

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.

Try not to fall in the deep fat fryer

seriously wow that's pretty bad D:

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.

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 ???

this is my first interview and I'm a bit worried.

Just in case anyone wanted to know I got the Job so thank you for all your help

Hi! I also have a KFC interview coming up soon and since you got the job I thought you might be the ideal person to talk too!

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
