      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McDonald's (Columbus, OH) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      Submit application online. Then go into a Restruant for an interview and meet with the manager. Discuss expectations and what a typical day is like. There was opportunity to ask questions and get a feel if this is something I’d like to do.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at McDonald's

      Interview

      It was a good interview where they just asked about my previous experiences and didn't dive deep into much. I would recommend just practicing how to tell a story as communication is pretty important to this process.
