Interview

I interviewed at McDonald's (Whitechapel, England)
Interview
Was asked a few questioned including the skills I could transfer from previous job, and how I demonstrate team work and good customer service. Also asked about whether I can pay attention to detail and multi-task
Very easy, interviewer didn't want to know much about experience, or my lack there of, they just asked about my personality. Nothing to really complain about. Very smooth interaction. I wouldn't stress about it.
My interviewer was really unprofessional and was hard to understand. She went too fast with the questions for the interview and blamed me for not understanding her, never made herself clear.
