on the hunt for jobs..

So I applied to Mcd and Jo-Anns recently and both got back to me!
At Mcd I think the interview went well except for the fact that I didn't have my social security card on me and I think I have to apply for a new one since I'm not really living at home anymore and it takes an hour just to go back. They asked me questions on my work experience and wanted to mainly know if I had fast food experience. They also asked how I would deal with rude customers and why I wanted to work at Mcd. I know they asked the girl before me if she had ever dealt with any difficult situations. They question that kind of caught me off guard was "If I was a customer and I had just walked in, how would you greet me?" I don't know why but immediately I thought about taking her order but I remember that every fast food usually says "hello, welcome to ______" so I went with that and she smiled and said great! :) haha
At Jo-Anns, they asked me more about my job experience in retail. They asked me if I had ever made a mistake and owned up to it and what exactly I did. They wanted to know if I saw a coworker being rude, how would I deal with the situation. Also they asked why I wanted to work at Jo-Anns. I'm not sure if this is all Jo-Anns but the one I applied to said everyone that worked there is only part-time except for managers. Also, since I applied as seasonal, they told me if I worked hard enough and they see me try, then I may get to continue working there.

Ugh I just think as a rule of thumb, if you know you're going to be needing a job soon, apply around 2-3 weeks in advanced. I applied to Jo-Anns like 2 weeks ago and they finally got back to me. For Mcd they only took 2 days but I think they had already planned days to interview potential candidates and wanted to squeeze me in. Also, make sure to have your social security card on you because for Mcd, they couldn't continue with me until they had that card so I have to go back this Saturday. :(
