I am going to orientation for mcdonald's monday and I am really nervous because I have A.D.D and sometimes I need someone to tell me how to do something a few times before I actually figure it out.. I know it sounds stupid.... just wondering if you think I'll get the hang of it? how long does it usually take before you get the hang of working in fast food?

It all depends on the person. Some people pick it up in no time, but some people take a couple months to catch on.

The training at McDonald's is extremely good in most locations. Your first three shifts or so are generally with a trainer who will guide you through the basics, show you the ropes, and get you started. Usually you will just be following them around and doing what they ask you to do. They will always be close by if you have any questions or need any help.

Relax! Most McDonald's restaurants have extremely friendly atmospheres, and its extremely easy to get started.

It's easy!

I am supposed to buy my own black pants for work.. I have to go in tomorrow and show the manager that I have them but I'm not sure what to get... She told me I can get black dickies or dockers pants but they cant be stretchy and on the piece of paper she gave me, it says the pants cant have any outside stitched pockets........... well, I already have a pair of dickies from the last fast food place I used to work at but they are somewhat stretchy, not very much, and they also have pockets but I don't think they are that noticeable....

Does dickies even have pants with no pockets?? Can someone tell me where I can find the pants I described? Thanks alot.

bascily they want plain black pants no cargo pants no spandex type pants.

you can find any pretty much any walmart for about 10 to 20 bucks

check @ dicks sports
kohls

also if you applied for a job online and there's a automatic msg that says it will contact you in 15 days if your qualified is it alright if I call up to follow up after a few days or should I just wait?

I would check back on earlier in the week like Money or Tuesday when most places aren't really busy.

It is okay to call back, but pretty much all the hiring managers work normal business hours(M-F 9-5).

I'm gonna start my new job soon and my manager told me that my pants shouldn't be stretchy but I have a pair of black dickies that are 97% cotton and 3% spandex.

Do you think this will matter?

Those are fine
Dickies are classified WORK pants

I was going to apply at McDonald's for a summer job. I still had school during that time though so she told me to call her when I got out. Well, I did and wow I am such an air head! She was not there so I left a very awkward message. There was like a 5 second silence and then I gave her the wrong number and I was all like "Oh wait I am sorry wrong number" Lol I have never worked before and I am only 16, but still XD I called her like a couple of hours ago. I think I am getting anxiety over it *sigh* What do you think sounds like I messed up pretty badly?
...............................................................................
ah no, you'll be fine. the person you called should realise you were nervous, all u did was make a mistake, its why pencils have erasers... if theres work there to be got then u should get it. relax though,its not like its extremely important to get a summer job.

do not worry. With all the crazy things happening at a McD at a normal day, this is probably one of the better things happening to this employee today. Imagine cleaning up after a group of five, who all threw fries all over the floor and shakes up in the ceiling, then it would be kinda nice to hear a cute quirky voice messing up her phone number. So no worries babe, unless you actually get the job. THEN be worried...

If I were you, I would go inside mcdonald's and talk to the manager in person... tell her you're out of school and would love to work there if they're still hiring. Make sure you smile alot and are friendly.

Hope you get the job..
