What are the types of questions can I be expected to be asked at a McDonalds interview?

Question

I have an interview and I really want and need this job, does any body that work at McDonald's or used to work there know what I will be asked? (I want to make sure I'm thoroughly prepared) Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I'd think that they'd ask standard questions like:

"Have you ever committed a crime?"

"What's your best quality?"

"What hours would you be available?"

And so on. They may also ask if you're allergic to anything, incase something they use in the kitchen would make you start sneezing or get hives or something. And that would be bad :)

And to the annoying people who called this a joke:

You're probably the most lazy-a$$es ever!!!! I doubt if you even HAVE a job.

Just ignore 'em girl. Good for you to save up for the sake of your kids.

Answer 2

Gosh some of u guys are freakin A$$ Holes....and i bet the ones making an a$$ of them self work there.....Losers

Hun they will just ask you where u see ur self in like 5 years....How would you handle a Stressful environment they will ask where you have worked before..Just stuff like that.....its simple ^-^

Good luck..Hope u get the job

Answer 3

Answer 4

They will ask you what kind of loser wants to work there.....and if you know how to count to 10. What a tool....

Answer 5

Do you like ugly clowns with red bulbous noses?

Are you lovin' it?

Seriously, though . . .  

Where do you see yourself in five years (one, two, etc)?

A:  I would like to work my way into becoming a TEAM Leader.

(TEAM is the key to any question at McD) and then perhaps a management position in time.

Why do you want to work here?

A:  I have heard that it is a great place to work with opportunities for advancement.  or, I enjoy working in a TEAM environment and enjoy working with people.

Are you flexible regarding shifts?

A:  tricky one, state your preference but always end up "I can be flexible and help out if needed, especially if one of the TEAM cannot do their shift"

Added note:  Good Luck!

Answer 6

"Do you feel guilty supplying people with substances that can lower their lifespan by over 40 years?"

"Would you be comfortable knowing that you were partially responsible for severe illness in hundreds of children?"

Things of that nature.

Answer 7

My interview with McD's was years ago, but they asked me

Why I wanted to work there?

why I thought they should hire me?

Where I thought I'd be in 5 years?

What were my outside of school and work hobbies

They basically want to find out if you are a team player, self-motivated, hard working, and dedicated to a better future.  

Answer 8

"are you vegetarian?"

Answer 9

do you like burger king?

Answer 10

Can you say, "Do you want fries with that"?

If so, you've got the job.

Answer 11

A job is a job people..you all should grow up a little.

I've personally never worked there..They'll probably ask about your past jobs & what you've done. How your friends view you & just little things about what you want in the future (goals & aspirations)

..Good luck!

Answer 17

Go looking your best, smile at all times be honest and truthful and most of all show desire for the position you are being interviewed for.  Try not to mention your children as it may seem that you will not be available with the kids.  Also do not let them know about you only wanting it for xmas.  You will do just fine and good for you for being such a wonderful and hardworking person!

*What does this job mean to you ?

*Do the times fit into your schedule ?

Thats most probably it. But why do you want to work their anyway ?

Answer 22

i found the answers vastly amusing.  

Answer 23

I think it's great that you want to do good in your interview. I do all the interviews in the healthcare facility that i work at and it makes a great impression when someone puts thought into the answers they give me. I'm sure McDonalds will talk to about any experience you may have, what hours you can work, and maybe some customer service questions. Just remember to relax and be yourself. Good luck, hope you get the job.

Answer 24

Answer 25

why do you want to work at mcdonalds?

answer by saying that you want to work your way up the ladder and be a manager.

what do you think we do at mcdonalds?

don't say "you sell food". find out what the mcdonalds mision statement is. any cashier will tell you. It will be something like "to provide the public with the fastest and best quality meals.'

how can you improve mcdonalds?

they really would like to here about improvements that you made on previos jobs.

be dressed well and smile alot. don't be late.
