McDonald’s is a leading fast food restaurant with branches in different places in the world. This article will look at a few questions that you should expect if you have a scheduled interview at any of the branches. Take note of the following:
1 What is Your Greatest Achievement?
This is a common question in interviews that attempts to find out an experience or occurrence you hold dear, be it in your life or work. What achievement will you always be proud of? Remember, the interviewer may also use your answer to describe how you perceive success. Therefore, be careful.
Sample Answer
My most outstanding achievement in life was getting through college with the money I obtained working here. I was a part-time customer service attendant fifteen years ago in this establishment while pursuing my course in hotel management. The money I earned helped me get through college and pay part of my student loan.
Do you have experience in the restaurant industry?
If yes, share your experience: what duties did you have? What lessons did you learn? What were the companies? Years of experience?
If not, simply answer no. However, if you like cooking or have customer service experience, you can talk about it here. That includes cashier positions at other companies.

If you work just for money, you’ll never make it, but if you love what you’re doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.[/et_pb_testimonial][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
Twenty-Second to Two Minute Rule. Studies have revealed that when it is your turn to speak or answer a question you should not plan on speaking for more than two minutes. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
My greatest weakness is I take criticism too personally. I have learned not to overreact and think about what was said. I have found that I have become a better employee when I learn from feedback.[/et_pb_accordion_item][/et_pb_accordion][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Can you tell me something about yourself?
It doesn’t really matter much what you tell them, as long as you show some energy and enthusiasm in your answer. You can talk about your studies, hobbies, life, dreams and goals. But it is important that the job with McDonald’s somehow fits into the picture.
I mean, if you study, for example, and look for part time job to make some extra cash to support your studies, it’s a great way to describe yourself in an interview with McDonald’s. Or if you’ve been working as a cashier somewhere else and your job contract ended, now you are looking to get the same position with McDonald’s.
They like outgoing personalities at McDonald’s, that’s why you should share with them also something from your personal life, perhaps a hobby, things you enjoy doing in your free time. Just do not tell them that you love to get wasted each Saturday evening, or something of that sort :).
Sample answer:
Why McDonald’s?
There are lots of fast-food restaurants offering the same position that you are interviewing for. The interviewers, therefore, assume the existence of something outstanding about McDonald’s that makes you want to be part of it. It would be best to convince them that you understand the McDonalds brand and hold the franchise in high esteem.
Sample Answer
I have always wanted to work here. You are a big company that has been operating for a long time, and therefore, I can get some good insights working here. I was also looking for a fast-paced environment to expose me to new challenges, and McDonald’s offers just that.
