Mcdonalds Interview Tomorrow

I'm new here so sorry if this is in the wrong place...

About a week ago I applied for a crew member role at my local Mcdonalds. They phoned me twice a couple of days apart, but I missed the call as I was asleep (ooops!). Anyway, the third time they phone I was awake and picked up! They asked me to come for an interview on Monday (tomorrow).

I thought it strange that they were this persistent with getting me to come in for an interview - I thought it was one call and that's it? Does this mean I'm already in with a good chance?

I'm 17, have fairly average GCES - 11 A-Cs, attend sixth form and have an AS Level in English Literature at an A.

They didn't email me or anything either, so I'm feeling rather clueless about the whole thing.

Any tips as to what to wear/expect/say? Is it an easy interview?

Hey :smile: from other threads I've heard that you do a fifteen minute interview and a fifteen minute in the job evaluation where you'll shadow an existing crew member and get the idea of what it's like to work there. I think that in the interview the main theme they ask you is your Hobbes and why Doyle want to work for mcdoanlds. Also, a lot of people have gone in casual e.g. Jeans and shirt t/shirt, I think it's a casual interview rather than suit and tie!!
Have you checked your application status recently? As mine is considering and I'm just wondering what this means? Do you know what the status is for your vacancy which you've got the interview for is?
Also if I was you I'd email mcdonalds and get some more informations as the email has other information e.g. What identity and some other details you need to take :smile:

I would honestly say it is the easiest interview ever, and anyone that doesn't get the job has problems. Just sound interested, answer any questions with a reasonable amount of logic and you'll get it.

I would simply wear semi-formal clothing, such as trousers and shirt for a boy or just a decent dress/blouse and trousers for a girl.

I will save you the effort though, telling you that I managed working there for 3 weeks, and the mundaneness simply bored me to tears, and the managers weren't any better. I would never even consider working for the company. Also, the £4.35 an hour I got at 16 was not even worth getting out of bed for.

Didn't have to do an OJE, just had the interview and was offered a trial.

This morning, before my interview, it was on considering too... I have no idea what it means! But now it's changed to 'on hold'? The guy mentioned that he might give me a different role, customer care assistant? So I'm assuming that's why...

I took my passport but didn't need it :biggrin:

I applied on the 19th where a few days later the status changed to 'received'. I then got a phone call asking me to come for an interview on the 26th where it changed to 'considering'. It's now the 29th and I'm 'on hold' after having an interview...
