    Congrats on getting an interview!

    Re: the interview, if you don't love deep friend chicken, then don't lie and say you do. Lying during your interview is a very bad thing to do, especially if it's obvious.

    Just be honest and polite. Also, it never hurts to have a few questions to ask, at the end (if you have any).

    Also, make sure you dress somewhat nicely. I mean, you don't have to wear a suit and tie, but don't just wear your street clothes. Casual-dressy, or whatever it's called.

    It sounds like you should do fine. Be yourself, be honest and be friendly. Remember that you are interviewing for a job that involves dealing with the public and working with others. Having good communications skills and coming across as a nice person are important. Also, be prepared to discuss things in your background that show you are a responsible person. Punctuality, neatness and maturity are important. Have a good, positive attitude. Good luck! I am sure it will go well.

    I've been through countless interviews. It's a longer type of story, and really doesn't support my points, but here goes.

    1) Confidence. Don't act nervous. There is nothing to be nervous about. If it were a job where I make a hundred grand a year, sure. But KFC, walk in the with confidence.

    2) Don't lie, stretch the facts, make stuff up, etc. Self explanatory.

    3) Relax. Laugh alittle, fit a joke in if you can. I had an interview at East Side Marios with kitchen manager and general manager, and by the end of the interview I had almost fallen out of my chair from laughing and we all were crippled over from laughing.

    Good Luck, and let us know how you did!

    Well, I hope you're able to get something out of this.

    What type of hours are you hoping to work?

    that makes a rejection from KFC and Mc Donalds....

    She said she would call on the tuseday she never did ... then on thursday i called the store and got them to leave a message... but she didnt call back.... so i decided not to bother doing anything else i dont want to work for someone that dosent even call even if it were to reject you...

    But i still need to find a job

    They're busy they probably forgot all about it, I really doubt they'd just not call you back deliberately unless it was a really fucked up store.

    I went for a job at KFC and I got it the day after I applied. I don't really want the job there but its somewhere new, just hate the managers at HJ's. I was talking to my Ex-Boss today and she heard I got a job there and she went and told them how awesome I am. =/ Now they expect me to be awesome. :'( I was hoping to slack off lol.

    Also dictionary, you don't need to wear black trousers and black shoes and a tie to an interview at a fast food store, seriously they will laugh at you behind your back (I do it all the time when I see it) When I went for my interview I wore a "1-Up" super mario shirt and some board shorts =P

    Theres plenty of jobs you can go for, Woolies, Coles/BiLo, Target, newsagencies, clothe stores, butches ect. Just apply at them all and you're guaranteed a job.

    Ive been thinking of calling julia gillard and asking her for a job seing as she is minister for employment....
     
  15. While you're asking for yourself could you mention me as well! =P I hate job interviews because it always ends up being a no and then I feel really bad about myself lol.
    I hate KFC because they rejected me 3 times and gave my friend his job on the first "interview" all he did was walk in and asked for a job. =( His sister works at the same store and is friends with the managers so she just asked if they could hire him.
    And now I need new peeps as my references because I had 2 of my teachers I was closest with from my now old school and I'm not sure if I should keep them on there. But if I don't I'll have no one else to use because we don't have any family friends because my mum has none lol.
