#### How often do I get paid?

This can vary depending on whether you work in a franchised or company owned restaurant. Typically, it can be every 2 or 4 weeks for hourly paid employees, and monthly for employees on a dedicated salary.

#### What type of shifts will I be doing and how many?

Our restaurant hours range from location to location, but over half of our restaurants are open 24 hours a day. We schedule most shifts to suit you, but also take working time legislation and our business needs into account.

#### What should I wear to work?

Just one of the benefits of working at McDonald’s is that you don’t have to worry about what to wear to work, we will supply you with a uniform.

#### Does McDonald’s promote its employees?

Definitely. We highly value talent and always aim to encourage employees to remain within our business. To put it into perspective, half of our Executive Team started in restaurants. At McDonald’s, there are no limits to how far or fast you can progress.

#### How old do you need to be to work at McDonald’s?

This will depend on your location within the UK & Ireland as the date you can start work will differ depending on your location. Please note Work Experience opportunities are open to anyone over the age of 14.

#### Is your online application process secure?

Yes. Privacy is important. So we make sure all personal information you provide is completely protected from unauthorised use.

#### Can I apply for more than one vacancy?

Yes. You can apply for as many vacancies, in as many locations as you wish! But we’ll only consider one of your applications at a time. So, be sure to think carefully about what role(s) you do apply for and where you wish to work.

#### How long will it take to apply online?

Our application process is almost as fast as our food. It should only take between 10-15 minutes to complete the online application. The specific time frame will differ depending on the role you are applying for.

#### Why is my local restaurant not showing any vacancies?

All our restaurants advertise their vacancies right there on our website. So if there aren't any listed this means they’re not currently hiring.

#### What does 'franchised restaurant' mean in a job listing?

A franchised restaurant is a restaurant operated by a local businessperson trading under the [Employer hidden] name. Currently over 88% of our restaurants in the UK & Ireland are franchised. But, from a customer point of view, there's no noticeable difference. For employees however, there will be differences between a company and a franchised restaurant. For instance, franchised restaurant workers are employed by the franchises themselves. We list any further differences that you’ll need to know in the individual job details.

#### If I’m not successful, can I apply again?

Yes, you can apply again, but make sure you create a new application.

#### Will I get charged to apply for a role at [Employer hidden] online?

As part of the application/ recruitment process you will receive alerts/messages from our AI online recruiter Olivia. Message & data rates may apply dependant on your contract, please check with the account holder first. Message frequency varies.

#### What documents should I provide as proof of eligibility to work?

Before we can employ you, we are required to verify your eligibility to work in the UK & Ireland. Acceptable documents to evidence your right to work can be found here. You’ll need to provide original documents such as a valid passport or a valid UK/Ireland visa (with a college letter listing term dates, where applicable). Only original documents will be accepted.

#### What type of questions do you ask at an interview?

The interview is an absolutely vital part of our hiring process. Without it, we wouldn't get a proper picture of what kind of person you are, and whether you'd be a great fit at McDonalds. The interview will normally involve a set of questions around values and attitudes and will allow the interviewee to really show us why they're the right person for the job. For instance, we might ask for an example of times you've worked as part of a team and how you made a difference to that team. In short, we look for people who have the right attitudes and behaviours to deliver a great customer and colleague experience; we hire for qualities and potential, rather than qualifications.

#### What prospects do I have working at [Employer hidden]?

Our employees tend to stick around. Partly because it's a fun, sociable and flexible place to work, but also because there are opportunities to progress into roles with more responsibility. In fact, 9 out of 10 of our restaurant managers, and 1 in 5 of our franchisees, started out as crew members behind the counter or in the kitchens. That's an unbelievable stat that we’re very proud of. We've also been recognised as a leading employer over the years, offering award-winning learning, nationally-recognised qualifications, comprehensive benefits and flexible working arrangements, as well as a well-proven career path.
