Hi
I have been recently accepted by mcdonalds and I asked my manager on the phone when my orientation is and he stated sometime next week but hasn't given a date, time or orientation so I'm really lost.
He said my first shift is next tuesday but have ask for the time again as the phone had too much background noise.
what is orientation like at McDonalds Australia?
Thanks.
Answer:
For a future reference, if you don't hear them on the phone due to background noise, just state, 'Sorry, I didn't hear you' - you won't sound stupid… however, you’ll look stupid if you don't know what time you're supposed to show up.
As for your question/s, orientation is plain easy. You rock up, they give you your uniform, and the next three hours you spend following your trainer around as they point things out.
Don't worry if you don't remember certain things, as most people will be happy to tell you where something is if you forget. Don't be afraid to ask.
For me personally, everything I needed was in e-mail correspondence with the Manager who hired me. If you have any e-mails like that, you should sift through them for relevant information.
Also, your first shift is usually orientation. All you really need to do is get the correct time and date, and turn up. From there, they'll basically hold your hand.
(There is a website that lists your current roster, but I'm not sure if that's been set up yet - you should ring up and ask)
