Fast Food Job help???

Ok, i know that there is this MCDONALDS HIRING down the strreet from my job that i work at and i was wondering what do you think the chances of me getting hired are..here's the status of my skills...I NEVER WORKED IN FAST FOOD BEFORE, ALL MY JOBS HAVE BEEN SECURITY RELATED AND, I WORKED IN A KITCHEN IN A NURSING HOME FOR LIKE 6 MONTHS, DO YOU THINK I WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING HIRED OR NOT?? They are 24 hrs open ,and they been having that hired sign up for months and months, so how long does it take to know if you get hired or not at a fast food (like mcdonalds) what do they look for?, Is it one of those jobs that your hired like in one day or does it tkae a while?? please help??? thanx!!

wow... to much information!!!! man! in the time it took you to type all that - you could have already gone down there and applied AND got hired!!!!
just go do it!*

if your past job history looks good then you have a good shot. They don't care about your past jobs.

The most important thing is your availability, then experience. Employers are usually looking for people with a good "track record" that don't go bouncing around from job to job every few weeks. There's really no harm in applying if you want the job.

I have worked in the food service before (various restaurants and donut shops for 7 years). In my case, they hire anybody who walks in without a criminal record and isn't too young! Present yourself with confidence and show up 5 minutes early, be neat, but don't over dress. Just be honest about your skills, they will most likely hire you right away....UNLESS.....some big food chains put out now hiring signs because they want to revamp their stack of applications. They usually review and sort out aps every 6 months. The sign doesn't mean that they are actively hiring. If you want to find out, walk in, ask for a manager and say, "I'm interested in working here, are you actively hiring or just accepting applications?" They should tell you what they are doing, and then, you can turn in your application if you want.
Hope that helps, good luck, I heard Mic D's has some good scheduling and nice benefits. But fast food is what it is...fast food, they hire and fire every day!

Unless you have a really horrible work record AND live in a really depressed area, you should have no problem getting hired at McDonald's . . . or any other fast food restaurant! Best wishes as always!
