Thunder Bunnies Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 So McDonald's National Hiring Day is on April 11th which is in a couple of days. I was just wondering if anyone has done this last year. How does it work, do you just bring in a resume and hand it to a manager and leave? If you get an interview on the spot, are the interviews normal length or will they be shorter due to the number of people applying? I'm planning to head there on Wednesday before the Canucks game begin and see if I could get a job at McDonald's. Any information, details, or tips would be helpful. Thanks!

Redacted Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Wouldn't the firing day be before the hiring day? they may make a mistake and need more hires after finding out how many they want to actually fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenMittons Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 While no one really wants to work at McDonalds, BC minimum wage is going up $10.25 on May 1st and i'd assume that it'd be pretty difficult for teens to get a job afterwards. I mean, that big of a jump will hit some companies pretty hard and it'd be better to work at McDonalds than have no job at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niloc009 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 As someone who works at McDonalds, I totally disagree with anyone who says it's an awful job. It's not a career, and definitely not somewhere I want to be my whole life, but as a part time student, it's awesome. -They schedule you around your own needs -Have awesome training -Lots of ability to move up (many are promoted within a year) -Lots of crew outings, had bowling two weeks ago, laser tag on Tuesday, and more stuff coming up -People absolutely love to see McDonalds on a resume. My mother is a hiring manager for a company and, unless you were fired, she knows you can fit into a team dynamic -The team dynamic is awesome. I often see it as more of hanging out with friends than I do an actual job -If you love a high energy workplace, it's perfect for you -I've been working there for just over a year, and I'm already 20 cents above minimum wage, and I'll stay 20 cents above when it goes up to $10.25.

Amish Rake Fighter Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Go for it, don't listen to the assholes that say it's a crappy job. You have to start somewhere and it will help you start building a resume and prepare for the future. Take it seriously, do it well, show up on time and try to learn as much as you can.
