Hey everyone! My name is Christian Aguilar. Welcome to my channel, where I
make your life easier one video at a time.
Guess what?
We hit 500 subscribers! I would like to
thank all of you who are subscribed to my YouTube Channel. It's cool that you
are subscribed right now that I am a small YouTuber because you get to see me
grow. I give shout-outs to those who promote my channel on social media. All
you have to do is screenshot my Youtube homepage and explain to your followers
why they should subscribe to my channel. Then I will shout you out on my Instagram
and Snapchat stories. Just message me letting me know that you promoted my
channel, so I know. My goal is to reach 1,000 subscribers before 2018. In today's
video, I am going to answer fast food interview questions. Without further ado,
let's get started. The first one is tell me about yourself.
I know that this one can be kind of tricky because students are usually told
to introduce themselves on the first day of school, and most people do not like to
do that. But you have to realize that you are in an interview, and you are just
talking to the employer. You are not telling the entire class about yourself,
so be humble and tell the hiring manager a little bit about yourself.
You can include interests, hobbies, and some fun facts about you. If the employer
asked me, "Tell me about yourself". I would tell them that I'm a YouTuber, a
photographer, and I like to read non-fiction books for fun.
You can keep it short and simple. Just please tell them something about
yourself. Just don't put yourself down, and tell the employer that you have no
interests, hobbies, or talents because everyone has all of that. Employers are
looking for people who are self-confident, so answer that question
with confidence. The next question is what are your strengths and what are
your weaknesses? When they ask you, "What are your strengths?", you should usually
tell them something that is related to the job. If they asked me, "Christian, what
are your strengths?" I would tell them that I have communication skills. If you
were to be asked this question, one of your strengths could be that you enjoy
working with people. Say you were an athlete and you were always a part of a
team, you could tell your employer that you don't mind working with people
because you were on a sports team. Or you can tell the employer that you are goal driven,
and you are motivated to meet goals in the workplace. What are your weaknesses?
When you are asked this question, please do not say something that makes it seem
that your weakness is a strength. For example, saying, "Oh, I work too hard."
or "I'm a perfectionist". Employers don't want
to hear that. Say you are shy, you can tell the employer that you are shy, but
you want to work here, so that you can work on interacting with people. Tell
your employer a weakness that you would like to improve if you were hired.
The next question is give me an example of a time that you felt you went above
and beyond the call of duty at work. This relates to someone who has job
experience. I would say that at my first job, I was a leader for the Walk
for Kids Foundation. I would say that I designed the shirts, and I would also
mention that I motivated employees to join my team. If you do not have work
experience and you are asked this, say something that you went above and beyond
at school. For example, say there was a group project and you decided to be the
group leader. The next question is how do you handle working with people who annoy
you. For example, say there is an employee who is constantly talking to you while
you are working. I would kindly tell that person that "Hey
I need to get to work. Do you mind talking after work?" The next question is
what kind of goals would you have in mind if you got this job? This is where
your research on the company really comes in handy. I work at Taco Bell, but
before the interview, I did some research on the website. If I were to be asked
this question, I would say that I saw that Taco Bell offers scholarships, so if
I were to be hired, one of my goals would be to apply for those scholarships. This
question also relates to your weaknesses. Say you're shy, one of your goals if you
were to be hired is to interact with people more. So you can say if you were
hired, you would want to work on your weaknesses.
The final question that everybody wants to know how to answer is why should we
hire you? This question is very important, and it is usually asked at the end of
the interview. This is your chance to really make an impression and make that
hiring manager remember who you are. My journalism instructor at my school
taught me how to answer this. If I were to be asked this question, I would say
that I am someone who is mostly on time, so no matter the burden, I will get to
work on time. Even if it means waking up early and getting on that bus to get to
work. I could also say that throughout school I had a perfect attendance, so the
days that I am scheduled, I will be here. Employers want
potential employees who are going to be responsible, so saying something that
shows your responsibility, will really make an impression on the employer.
And that is it. Please like this video if you feel less stressed out about
answering fast-food interview questions. Remember that these are my suggestions.
They are not the exact answers. Now that you have finished watching this video, go
back and try to answer the questions that I asked you because the reason why
I challenge you to do this is to practice and all of the questions that I
asked you are from a Taco Bell hiring manager. So as you re-watch this video,
pause after I ask the question, try to answer it to the best of your ability.
If you would like to continue learning and making your life easier, please

notified every time I publish a new video. I hope to see you all next weekend.
Until next time, see y'all later!
