Job Interview Questions: I have my first job interview, what do i do?

I landed my first job interview with Mcdonalds. I'm freaking out and need tips pronto

- How do you act during the interview?
- What questions will they ask? / How do you respond?
- What should you say during an interview?
- What is best to wear?
- How long does a typical interview last?

Any other advice?

Job Interview Training For Managers - Will's Story



Recommended Answer:
This covers your first 3 list items:
There are two main topics that they will ask about, customer service and working in a team:

* They're going to ask about how you handle conflict
Customer service - they want to know that you're not going to let customers rip off the company with false complaints, yet keep them coming back. If they ask how you deal with conflict, say something like I'm fair, but when I'm right no one - NO ONE - gets away with false claims

* They're going to try and know how well you work with a team
Again, this is delicate... they want to know that you can work with other people, but they also want to know that you can stick up for yourself and won't leave because you can't. That being the case, they will ask something about how "you handle interpersonal conflict". Tell them that rather than get help from a third party, you solve problems on your own. When someone is being bossy, you make sure that they know that YOU are the boss!

What to wear:
Dress like the people do where you will work.

How long does an interview last:
This can depend on a lot of things, but I'd say 1/2 hour is a good bet.

When the Promising Job Interview Turns Up Empty - You Can Still Win! Interview Tips and Strategy


  • Relax and be yourself. Consider what the current employees are like, how they do their jobs, and you'll get an idea of what the manager's looking for. They want to be able to trust you, that you'll be professional, represent the company well and do a good job. Let them know you really want the job and that you're committed to being a good employee. Speak well, be friendly, smile. It'll be over before you know it, probably about 15 minutes.
