McDonald's Is Now Accepting Snapchats As Job Applications (thenextweb.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the here-today-gone-tomorrow dept.

McDonald's Australian subsidiary is now accepting job applications via Snapchat. Specifically, McDonald's wants potential candidates to send the company a 10-second video using a filter that shows them wearing a McDonald's uniform. Matthew Hughes reports via The Next Web: The job applications, which McDonalds calls "Snaplications" (I vomited a little), will be the first step in the recruitment process. The company will then review the submissions, pick out the favorites, and send digital applications to those selected. Speaking to Australian news website news.com.au, McDonald's Australia COO Shaun Ruming said the company is looking for applicants with a "bubbly personality." He also added that he'd "learned a lot about Snapchat recently from my 14-year-old daughter."

    There's a night-and-day difference in the customer experience at a Japanese McDonald's and a US one.

    Maybe but your porn sucks with all the blurry pixels over the genitals. You priorities are all wrong.

    Would be silly for them to hire illegals that can't even take the basic steps to get forged papers.

    Do you know who has a truly "high user number"? Your mom's vagina.
