My role at McDonald’s is Crew Trainer, I train crew members making sure they are confident feel comfortable in their job role. This also involves being a role model by following procedures and maintaining a great attitude. Crew trainers also ensure training targets are met and kept on top of.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?

Make sure you come prepared for your interview and look presentable, interviewers are looking for people that put effort in and an extra bonus to guarantee the job is do your research. Don’t be nervous on your first day everyone in the store has been in your shoes, just try your best to learn and ask questions.
