Workers hoping to land entry level jobs by filling out Mcdonalds applications online may be better off walking into one of these fast food restaurants of their choice, introducing themselves, and asking to fill out an application.

You can search for Mcdonalds jobs in your area at Job.com.

The reason is simple; by presenting yourself in a favorable light and making human contact, management can immediately determine whether or not they see you as a legitimate prospect for a position within their company.

There are always a variety of types of Mcdonalds jobs available based on your qualifications where it makes sense to apply online,  but if you’re looking to become a crew member, you should seek a job with them the old fashioned way.

Regardless of your age, here are some valuable tips to get an edge over all other crew member candidates filling out mcdonalds online applications:

1.  Pick and choose at least two Mcdonalds restaurants you would like to work in, and concentrate your efforts on getting hired by one of them.

2.  Give your appearance a check-over; make sure your hair is neat, or get a haircut, trim your nails, figure out what you will wear when you visit the restaurants to fill out the Mcdonalds job applications.

Wear something not too casual but not too dressy; the trick here is to look neat and professional.

For men, wear neatly-pressed slacks with dress shoes (black or brown) and a crisply-ironed long-sleeved shirt (tie optional).

For women, an understated professional-looking dress with light-colored panty hose and low-to-medium heeled shoes should do the trick.  As an alternative, you can use neatly-pressed slacks and a blouse.

3.  Visit them at either 11:00 A.M. or 3:00 P.M., during non-peak hours, to ensure the manager is not too busy.

4.  When you walk into the restaurant, don’t just ask for a Mcdonalds application.  Ask to speak to the manager.  If that doesn’t work right away, fill out the application, and politely ask once again to speak to the manager.

Nine times out of ten, the restaurant manager or assistant manager will take a minute or two to talk to you.  Tell them you are highly interested in joining their team, and make it sound sincere.

Sometimes applicants are asked to go ahead and just fill out a Mcdonalds online application; this is fine.  At least you were able to make contact and they will remember in the short run who you are.

5.  After a few days you will either get a call back from them or you will find yourself waiting for the call; give them a week, and politely follow up by calling them (don’t visit them just yet) and repeat the fact that you are really interested in a job with them.

6.  If that still doesn’t work after two weeks, visit them personally once again and politely ask once again.  If you are turned down, ask the manager or assistant manager to call you should a position become available.

7.  Expand your opportunities and repeat the above sequence until you find the job you want.

Don’t just limit yourself to Mcdonalds applications; research and apply at other restaurants in the fast food industry.  You will find a job.

In 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!
