The process took 4 days. I interviewed at McDonald's (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2013
Interview
I called and left a resume at the front counter at McDonalds. After a day or so, I received a call back, and came in for an interview, which an Assistant manager handled. It was a basic, simple interview, and I received the job and began employment within a few days.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at McDonald's (Taylorville, IL) in Oct 2011
Interview
Face to face with a manager. Very fun and easy to feel comfortable. I was able to take the interview on one day. The next day I came back in and was given a tour of the store. After the tour I was given my uniform and ordered my shoes. Very laid back.
