I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McDonald's (Mount Vernon, OH) in May 2017
Interview
I had filled out the application online but I had to tell the GM that I had filled out an application. After he interviewed me, orientation happened 3 days later.
The interview consists of a few Basic questions to test your understanding of customer service. Very relaxed approach to hiring and you typically hear back very quickly(within a few days )
Phone call. Then in person interview, if it goes well they'll do a background check. Very streamlined process, it isn't difficult. They mostly care about what hours you are free.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Current occupation. Available Hours. If you have a history of crime.
Very simple questions, about school, personality etc. Then we went straight to discussing availability and it was as easy as that. They aren't looking for much so you don't need to do much.
