I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McDonald's (Coogee, New South Wales) in Jan 2019
Interview
Interview was OK, took place in the dining area so it was kind of loud and awkward. Manager was nice, understanding of it being my first job. Questions were relatively straightforward. Was offered the job on the spot at the end of the interview.

Question 1
Current occupation. Available Hours. If you have a history of crime.
Very simple questions, about school, personality etc. Then we went straight to discussing availability and it was as easy as that. They aren't looking for much so you don't need to do much.
