Why would you ask if they're racist?

I'm guessing you're not Caucasian?

Well my interview was pretty informal.. she just sat me down at the customer seats and asked me:
So why do you want to work here?
How would you benefit maccas?
What would you do if an angry customer came in saying their food was cold?
Do you live around here?
When can you work.

They don't really ask you difficult questions but one of my friends got a question "What are your weaknesses and how do you overcome them?" I guess you could just say time management and you've recently bought a diary or something.

Tips: Be confident, smile and make eye contact but don't constantly stare deeply into their eyes or anything :P

What's the best answer for this?

[slyhunter]

something along the lines of "wanting to be involved in a forward thinking organisation" "wanting to hone and improve work skills and utilise them to satisfy customers" etc etc

[Shadowdude]

Isn't the wage like... $16.

What's the best answer for this?

I just said I wanted the experience and financial support throughout highschool but I don't think that's the best answer :L

Seems a bit high imo.

Depends on age I think. From memory it's closer to the $10 mark for a HS student. I'm too lazy to look up the award wages right now but you can Google it.

I work at Macca's currently soo....

Firstly the questions asked really depend on the manager of the store. I got a couple questions such as;
Do you plan to finish year 12?
If so what do you want to do after year 12?
Tell me about a situation where the conditions weren't favourable and you overcame it
How about an example where you used to teamwork to overcome something
Basically they only really ask you questions you would normally get to get a hint at what kind of person you are

Since alot of Maccas run on casual employment they usually need a rather large list of people available at most times. For example at my Mcdonald's I got hired basically straight away because I had good availabilty times. They asked me these questions mostly because it really was a requirement and they wanted to make sure I wasn't someone out of their zone.

In summary, availability times will be probably the most significant factor between them choosing you or someone else. Most people can answer questions they throw just fine. Though really they'll hire you as long as you got decent availability, the choosing thing only applies to popular Mcdonald spots where there's alot of applicants(or busy season,which is holidays).

You get trainee pay for like first 2-3 months then after they think you can work fine without alot of questions, they'll raise your pay. Age of course also increases the pay.

I know a family friend in my year that works at Maccas and he told me the questions were extremely straight forward. So long as you act naturally and friendly, you're almost guaranteed a position I would assume.
