Post Mcdonalds Applications – How To Sell Yourself During An Interview – Pt. 1

June 1st, 2009 3 comments

sell-yourselfIn life, there are those who take initiative and those who sit back and wait for something to happen. If you have filled out one of the Mcdonalds applications, the worst thing you can do is take a passive approach; you really need to sell yourself because no one’s going to do it for you!

Before approaching any prospective employer including Mcdonalds, take a good look a good look at yourself, figure out your strengths and listing them on a piece of paper.

Once you have them listed, begin taking notes about what you might say to your interviewer regarding those strengths.

For example, if you were going after a Mcdonald’s job and your first “strength” listed were “great leadership ability” you could write down something like this:

1. Great leadership ability – in my last position I supervised a crew of 5 and made sure we fulfilled company expectations as a group working together, and my talent was tested several times when employees expressed dissatisfaction over their pay and working hours. I was successful in helping resolve a few issues which could have adversely affected the company. In the end, the company was successful and I gained much satisfaction knowing I had played an important role in helping them achieve their goals.

By laying out entries such as the one described above, you can approach your interview confidently; even though your answer to an interviewer’s question won’t be exactly like the one written above, it’ll contain the general idea and feeling you want to convey about your strengths as opposed to merely listing what you believe your strengths are.

Never tell an interviewer what your weaknesses are but at the same time try not to come across as a know-it-all or as someone who is over-confident; first impressions are everlasting.

The bottom line is; after filling out and submitting one of the Mcdonalds applications, you really need to do your homework before an interview. Take time to search inside yourself and you’ll put yourself in a great position where the employer won’t have to search for anyone else after your interview!

career-choicesThere are many reasons why Mcdonalds career choices are appealing to prospective employees, and many reasons why people love eating at this much-loved fast food chain.

Employees know their efforts are well rewarded, and for years, customers have come to expect excellent customer service and quality, great-tasting foods.  It’s a marriage made in heaven!

Mcdonalds careers are perfect for people willing to put forth great effort while working; this is a fast-paced industry and if you are working as a crew member, expect to have bursts of heavy customer traffic.

Luckily for people, by turning in Mcdonalds applications  they get the absolute best training in the industry, bar none! When was the last time you visited this restaurant during peak hours and didn’t see all the workers looking like a big, giant ant colony working in excellent sync to provide the best service and food possible?

The history of Mcdonalds is etched into virtually every American’s mind, and has slowly become a focal point and mainstay in many other parts of the world.

Ronald Mcdonald is still one of the most colorful and instantly recognizable figures in our world history and has become more than just that famous smile, he signifies quality and endurance.

Tisha Martin boasts, “when I first filled out an application form for Mcdonalds I figured, hey, it’s a job.  Since then, I’ve grown to love the people and some of the customers here.  It’s mote than a job, it’s working with family.  I’m proud of where I work and the people I work with.”  Martin was recently promoted to assistant manager at the age of 23 after being in the trenches working as a crew member for 1 1/2 years.

By making a Mcdonalds career choice, you are entering into a world far beyond merely “getting a good job.”  You’re stepping into world history, a piece of something to be proud of for generations to come.
