McDonald's Big Hiring Day

[ULuvCeCe]

I think it is awesome that McD's is having a mass higher day - 50k nationwide. So that is 1000 a state, which isn't a ton but hey there are so many people out there that want a job and today may be their day! Round of applause McDonald's, maybe other *chains* such as Walmart should follow suit!

i hadn't heard this before but good luck to all those looking for jobs
McD's is a good company I think -- lots of opportunities but you have to do the dirty work first

Aside from gainful employment, what are they getting themselves into?

Yea I'd like to know too. I worked at Sonic when I was young and fast food is fast food. It may not always be great but it's a job. I know a gal that has worked for Wendy's since we were in high school and 10 years later she has a pretty good position, you have to do the dirty work but if you stick with a chain long enough, you're golden!

Beats starving.  I know some people on this board have been complaining about not finding a job, here's your chance I hope those people were at MdD's today.

I had a friend from school that started about 30 years ago with Mickey D. He now owns 3 of them in SC, I dont know if they still do the franchise but, he got in on that deal years ago and now is net worth is over 5 mil. I think he has had the first store about 10 years now and bought the other two thereafter. By the way Walmart is doing a large hiring this summer, just not advertised as much as Mickey D. They are hiring 10k for the summer.

I think that this is a good opportunity for all those people without jobs.

Wow this is awesome. I need to look into this stuff. I've recently moved from the west to the east. Totally need employment :]

I think it is a good thing that a major company is hiring so many new people.  II hope that it is a sign that things are picking up in the economy.
