I already was working at the store and applied on paper. Then I had a face to face interview with the manager of the local store, lasted about 30 minutes
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McDonald's (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2020
Interview
I filled out an application online. I got a call within 3 days since I applied on a Friday. the interviewer was very pleasant and the process was very relaxed. I felt like all the questions were relevant and the interviewer did his best to help me relax.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at McDonald's (Lexington, SC) in Nov 2019
Interview
The general manager and assistant manager and supervisor were part of the 3 step hiring process.
they all asked pretty much the same questions just to get a feel of how compatible I would be with the other members.
I know how busy you fast food get so instead of waiting for them to call me on whether I'm hired or how the interview was going.
I called them every single day being persistent about wanting to work there. By day three or four I was accepted.
