My mate got rejected from McDonald's. He's a bit of a ****** though.
Tbh, it was probably a good thing. It should make you try harder, in the end you will get a much better job.

i dont think it will be anything personal
they probably didnt need any more workers, or they had already filled up the spaces
i really wouldnt let it get you down, aim higher

Look at it this way...it was meant to happen....you weren't meant to work at McDonalds because there is another better post waiting for you somewhere and you will find it! It's only a matter of time so don't lose hope!
Good luck to you!
Good luck to you!

A Levels in what?

I wouldnt be too insulted, I know the first reaction is to be offended and feel abit ***** but to be honest, see it as a compliment, ever had anyone tell you "you dont wana be flipping burgers for the rest of your life" ? Theres a reason for that and there'll also be a better job more suited for you somewhere. I take it your going to/ at uni? Leave the MacDonalds jobs for the 16 year old school drop outs.

Get over it!
They probably had enough applicants so didn't even consider some, so they just 'chucked' the excess ones, that's what unis do with some UCAS applicantions...

Don't worry, McDonald's rejected me without interview too. I'm sure they gave the job to some guy I knew who wrote 'Satanist' under the religion section of the application form...
