I just got rejected from McDonalds for the 3rd time AMA

All I wanted was to save some money before uni but I guess that won't be happening now :cry:

(yes I am applying at other places too)

me too! :smile:

OP there are plenty of McDonalds and fast-food places. just keep trying. what are you doing wrong? is it because you only want work for the summer? i think that was my killer last year.

Did you have any second interviews?
Whats the reasons for the rejections?
Dw Op just keep applying for jobs i’m sure one will accept you. Its never nice getting rejected especially if you feel the interviews went well :frown:

At least someone can relate. I have friends that work there and they all seem to have got the job easily :colonhash:

I don't know tbh. I didn't mention anywhere on the application that I'd only be there for the summer (I didn't even get to the interviews :frown:)

I've volunteered in a charity shop and worked in a school but that's about it. Didn't think McDonalds would be fussy about experience..

Yeah. It’s sucks a lot. But i’m not losing hope. I will get a job this summer before uni. Hoping you do too. 😁
I worked for mcdys for x amount of years and I had an interview recently for them I got rejected. it's honestly not that great to work for them, plenty of other fast food companies. try hotels/hospitality they cry out for people
Same, I worked for mcdonald's but moved to university. Came back and applied to a mcdonalds a bit closer to me and got rejected with no interview???
I’ve been rejected by them too when I was younger. Actually I’ve been rejected by: McDonalds, KFC, Lidl, boots, Superdrug, Tesco’s, Sommerfield (yeah I’m old), B&Q, M&S, Morrison’s, various cleaning agencies, more cafes and bars than I can count.

It’s bloody hard to get a job when you’re in school/a student. You’ll get there eventually, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

if you're not too disheartened, next time try to speak to the manager and ask if they're hiring. and make sure you're dressed half decent (i mean no dirty clothes, make sure you shower).

i feel your pain brother!
