You may think it’s super easy to land a job at your nearest McDonald’s. After all, you just wanted to flip burgers behind the kitchen so how hard could it be, right? Wrong, people who are interested to work at McDonald’s are not school dropouts. There could be experienced applicants from other fast food organisations who plan to jump ships. And there’re many freshers from colleges.

 

Part-timers interested in getting some pocket money could be in the middle of their undergraduate or post-graduate studies. Hence, depending on the demand and supply, job interview questions at McDonald’s could be as simple as asking your background and basic questions, to very challenging mind-twisting questions. Questions also vary depending on geographical locations.

For example, what would you do if you caught your co-worker stealing money, or smoking while flipping hamburgers? Believe it or not, some have actually failed numerous times at getting a job at McDonald’s.

 

So, it’s not true that getting a job at McDonald’s is a guaranteed if you’ve a diploma or degree.
