I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McDonald's in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied in an agency here in the Philippines , saw the ads on the newspaper. They required 100 crews for Mcdonalds Canada. There are a lot of people who applied. But not all got the chance to take the english exam because the initial interview was tough. They wont accept if u dont have experienced in a fastfood even if you work in a restaurant. And the experienced should be at least 2 years. Luckily i passed the initial then did the exam. The passing score was 30pts out of 50 and i got 44!. After the exam i was set to another interview i was able to passed again then after 2 days i had an interview with Canadian HR. The interview was for me difficult if u didnt study before going to the exam. since i was workin in a fastfood 3 years ago so i forgot some fastfood operation standards. But i did study before facing the Canadian HR. So i passed with flying colors besides i'm naturally a friendly and outgoing person so it shows to the interview. I even cracked a joke to break the ice. It was a wonderful and a nerve wracking moment.

Question 1
What is the difference between cleaning and sanitaizing? When do we sanitaize?
The interview was conducted on a Monday and it was required to be interviewed on site. The interviewer was nice and showed me the ropes on what to do. They even gave me a tour on the back kitchen and what to do
The manager was clear with his questions and was very friendly. We discussed commitment hours, benefits and leaves. As I'm a working student it's good to know that there's some flexibility I can have. Overall a smooth experience.
