Trainee Business Managers - As we want to be sure that we're absolutely right for each other, you'll go through a four-step selection process. The first stage is the initial screening process; this is to ensure that you meet our basic criteria. If you meet these, you will be asked to complete the next stage, an online personality questionnaire. This will ensure that you have the right attributes for McDonald's and that the McDonald's environment is suited to your preferred style of working.

Your next step will be the restaurant based 'On Job Evaluation' or OJE. Here you'll do the job for real for a day and discover what it's really like working in a McDonald's restaurant.

The final step of the selection process is an interview with an Operations Manager, who will review everything you've seen and done so far. By this time you'll have met our people, seen how we do business and even served a few customers!

Crew Member - To make sure we're right for each other, we've designed a two-step application process. The first phase starts right here in the form of an online questionnaire during the application, which will take on average 30 minutes to complete. If successful, you'll be invited to a restaurant for an On Job Evaluation (OJE) and Interview with one of our Business Managers.

Our TBMs (Trainee Business Managers) are put through the same development programme as all of our crew and management team. As a TBM you will be put through an intensive version of our Crew Development Plan and you will then go through the first level of our Management Development Programme, which includes various courses and a lot of 'on job' learning. After you have completed this, your training as a TBM will be complete, however you will already be working your way through our management training, which will continue throughout your career with McDonald's. The length of time spent on the TBM training varies by candidate, as it is down to the individual to push themselves forward. However, we expect most TBM candidates to complete this within 18 to 20 weeks.

A franchised restaurant is a restaurant operated by a local business person trading under the McDonald's name. Currently over half of our restaurants in the UK are franchised but from a customer point of view there's no difference. For employees there will be minor differences between a company and a franchised restaurant. These will be listed in the individual vacancy.
