Hi Shan Fam, I hope y'all are doing well! Thanks so much for supporting my channel! I appreciate you all so much. I know we usually look forward to uploads on Mondays, but I was behind in uploading yesterday. I really wanted to present this video to y'all asap, so here it is!😊 I hope y'all enjoy this video and don't forget to comment to say hi and introduce yourself or to ask questions.😘

Get to know me :
I am a 19 year old sophomore majoring in Psychology. I am a mental health advocate and I aspire to become a Neuropsychologist, who studies the physical and behavior/mental aspects of the brain. I am currently creating a project called "Holding On" which is dedicated to helping people (particularly teens, young adults, people among the minority group) with their mental health and daily issues. I create content based on lifestyle, psychology, school, and vlogs or days in the life.

On problems speaking up, I have a little advice as someone who used to be super shy (and still am a little haha) :
-first of all bring everything to God and ask that he give you every good fruit of the spirit and all the support and boldness you need.
-Second be slow to speak but respond justly to injustice, bless those that curse you.
-third, just love on the person or multiple people you are addressing. Meet them in kind sternness and press forward the Kingdom of God in your action.
Blessings in Jesus name, you most certainly will be given the boldness that God knows you need. Your gentle spirit is a gift and a joy, keep it up!!
Thank you so much. 🙏🏾💕
i just got this job and honestly my 2 day was pretty bad and my trainer was unfortunately not helping me with anything. but i started getting use to it and doing drive thru order outside and cash/card and i’m honeslty doing pretty good for my 1 week working there !!
Hi Vanessa! I'm sorry it didn't go well for you in the beginning. I'm really happy that you're doing really good now and that you're liking cfa.😊 Hopefully everything is better with your trainer and you're working in a good environment. 💛
I got the job after 2 interviews! I’m just waiting for the manager to call and set up training and paperwork! I’m so excited to start that I’m getting impatient waiting for the call lol
Bethany, this is great! Y'all are on a roll with these interviews!!😂 Congratulations!!😊🎉 I know you're super excited and can't wait to start. Has the manager contacted you yet?
@@ShandericaC Yes!! I start training tomorrow! SO EXCITED!
Omg!!!😆 I hope training goes really well for you! You'll do great and I want you to know that you learn at your own pace and that you don't have to be hard on yourself. Chose to be patient with yourself. 😂 Also, have fun!!!
@@ShandericaC Ahhh, thank you!! Praying everything goes well!🙂
You're welcome! 💛🙏🏾
i went through 3 interviews and i got the job :)) im starting orientation wednesday & im so excited, idk what to expect
Omg Congratulations!!🥳🎉😄 I'm so excited for you! You'll have to keep me updated on how orientation and your first days go for you. Hopefully, you'll have fun getting to know everyone, and have fun learning how to do the different tasks!😁 When I first started we had to do orientation as well, which consisted of things like learning Chick-fil-A's vision and practicing fixing beverages/desserts and taking orders. Will you be working front of house or back of house?
@@ShandericaC i’ll be working front of the house since im 15 but either way i would’ve been foh since you get more experience when it comes to interacting with people :) i’ll definitely keep you updated although im a bit nervous about meeting everybody since i haven’t had much of human interaction in a while
@@ShandericaC thank you! im kinda of scared since my voice is naturally soft so i’ll have to project it a lot
That's awesome! 😄Yes, foh has the most interaction with people. It's totally okay to feel nervous. Honestly, I don't mind talking with other people, but I was really nervous when I first started. I didn't talk with a lot of people and I didn't get out as much. So, I can somewhat relate to how you're feeling.😊 Thankfully, working at Chick-fil-A has helped me make a lot of connections...with the people I work with and with some of the guests we serve. I'm really excited to see you grow as you'll interact with more people. You're going to do great!💛
You're welcome!💛 No worries, you'll be slightly yelling "I can serve the next guest!" in no time lol! (if the dining room is open). 😊 I hope everything is going well for you!
ahhh i just got the job at chick fil a yesterday and have my orientation next wednesday i’m sooo excited! i’m 14 so i didn’t know if i honestly was gonna get the job but it worked out haha!!! great video babeee
Hey!!!😄 Yesss congratulations!!🎉🥰 I'm excited for you! Thank you so much. I hope orientation goes well for you. I'm so glad that you're starting now because you'll have a lot of time to grow within the Chick-fil-A franchise and you'll learn skills that'll help you outside of work!
How was it
Hi! I worked at cfa for a year.
It was a great experience! I enjoyed working there. 💕
Hi Shan, Keep up the good work.God favor be upon you in Jesus Name.amen
Hi Tawny! How are you? Thank you for your encouragement, I appreciate you!😊 May God continue to bless you and your family with his everlasting love and grace, and I hope you continue to share the love and encouragement of Jesus to others. In Jesus name. Amen. 🙏🏾

The bite feels so guilty when you forget and then remember to pray haha. God bless you. I hope that you are well in the new year. Please Jesus draw this sister closer to you everyday, Amen. Much love, keep running the good race!
It does, lol! Amen 🙏🏾 Thank you so much. I pray that you have a blessed year in Jesus name.
They really need to start interviewing for Team Lead and Trainer positions too... just because you're on the team and you know how to do all the positions does not mean you would do well in a "leadership role". They need to ensure that Team Leads are leaving friendships at the door and not allowing friendships to help decide each person's position for the day. NOBODY likes having to do bread (buns) and the shorter a person is, the more this is true, but if everyone is expected to rotate through this position then it's fair that everyone should have to do it once in a while, but NOBODY should have to do it all the time (it's a back breaking position - especially the shorter a person is) just because the Team Leader can't stand up to someone (in this case, a strong Latino gal who only ever wants to do morning biscuit making and secondary salad / grilled / mac & cheese for lunch...), OR the Team Leader is taking care of friends who are actually taller and more capable of doing the buns and bread, but don't want to so then the one person who's the shortest on the team ends up doing the buns and bread - EVERY time... because Team Leaders evidently don't get much training on what it means to step up and be the leader. They need actual classes with quizzes to prove retention of material and expectations that will be required. Team Lead is also tall enough to do bread and is actually quite good at it but ALWAYS chooses the easier position instead... (hardly true leadership if you ask me).
Team Leaders also need to be held accountable for crossing off a check sheet every shift of tasks given to various team members. If a team member is given Mac & Cheese, they should be expected to follow it all the way through from putting the MC in the pans, to then restocking the cart with a full set of thaw bags for the next person who's making it, to cleaning up their space and placing everything back where it goes. (Team Lead can clean if team member is needed elsewhere but this should be the only part that a person might not do. EVERYTHING else should be expected and that person should be held accountable if the task is not done correctly). There is far too much "winging it" or "playing it by ear" when people come in for the morning... to the point that some people automatically decide what they want to do and everyone else just has to work around them. This should NEVER happen. Everyone should walk in for the morning and assignments have already been written on a board or in some way noted. No team member should always find themselves picking up where someone else left off because the other person didn't like that part of their task... (cleaning the biscuit table, cleaning the eggs station, doing soup, cleaning up a major spill...). Team Leaders should have a plan when they walk in and they should be good at time management and team management. Yes, there will always be call in's and call out's and nonsense like that but you should ALWAYS have a basic plan of who does what for tasking in the morning.
There truly needs to be a Kitchen Coordinator that runs logistics and makes sure positions are being covered properly and fairly rather than decided based on friendships...
*** Fair Word of Warning - Definitely go to a store or location that has been either open for a while, or has been run by an operator who has run a store before... You can't begin to know the frustration of working at a newly opened location, especially if it's owned and operated by someone who's never worked a day in their life within the reality of what it the fast food business. It's one thing to jump in and get your picture taken doing a few dishes in the dish room or some other position most nobody enjoys doing, it's another thing to dig in and do the job for 8hrs a day, 4-5 days a week, for at least a couple months... THAT is when people will truly respect you - but it's also beneficial to the upper leadership to have had to truly jump in and cover a position for an entire day / week - you get a better understanding and gain a better perspective of what it is really like. Your team members will respect you much more highly as well and will be far more willing to help you when needed.
I got the job at Chick-fil-A . My orientation is Monday or if that’s full, it will be another day. They put me on boh so I’m excited to see see how that goes. I haven’t seen a yt video on working as boh yet, they all seem to be foh workers
Congratulations!!🥳🎉 I'm so happy for you! I hope orientation goes well for you! Lol! I know right! Foh is where team members get to interact with the guest. Boh may seem a lot less hectic. Lol! Maybe you could start a youtube channel and tell us what it's like working boh at Chick-fil-A.😁😏 Keep me updated on how everything goes for you at Chick-fil-A.
Got the job finished orientation and received my uniform but soon as they told me they only paying $10.50 an hour and I have to drive 45 mins I was like nope I’ll pass. Overworked underpaid they were asking for too much
Yes, I agree with you, especially since you have to drive 45 minutes. Whatever God has for you, it will come without a doubt. You know that saying, “When one door closes, God opens another.” I really hope that you’re led exactly where God wants you because He knows best! 💕🙏🏾🫶🏾 A lot of times it’s a no because God has a yes somewhere else.
Your such a hard worker. I hope to get more then 40 hours a week , a girl has bills to pay , starting orientation tomorrow
Thank you!! Congratulations!!🎉🎊 You got this girl!!😌😊💛 I hope orientation goes well for you. I'm sure you'll be able to get more hours because some team members don't mind releasing shifts lol! Plus, extra help is always good for the team. I'm so happy for you!!
I work chick fil a 3mos now and I like it.. they pay very good and a lot of benefits
Awesome, congrats!! 🥳 I’m glad you like it!! 💕
I’m debating on quitting my job at McDonald’s, there’s this one manager, no one likes her, she can’t talk to anyone without giving snide remark’s or getting into unnecessary arguments, and it’s really a bad environment when she’s around.
One of my other managers got high mid shift.
One of my other managers walked out, leaving the manager everyone hates bustin her ass back in the kitchen.
There’s always some rude arguments going on with the workers.
My second day, I was on fries.
The prior day and the prior hours, my manager had told me to ignore what was on the screen, and do the ones that he asks, the second day comes he goes, and this co worker “asks” me if I can read, because I wasn’t reading the screen, even though I was told to ignore the screen a day prior..
I’m only about a month into working here, and getting my first paycheck tomorrow (bi weekly paychecks) any advice?
I’m also always getting praises by other co workers, so that’s why I’m debating on not quitting
Hey!! Woah, this is not a healthy work environment for you.🥺 I am not going to tell you to stay or leave, but you deserve better and you do not have to settle for this.💛 I know all jobs have their pros and cons, and if the cons outweigh the pros and if you're dreading going to work, then I pray you find a better work environment because this is not okay. How do you feel about this? Honestly, do you feel this job disturbing your mental health? Have you considered calling corporate? Also, are you still in school? I hope I didn't scare you asking questions back to back lol!
It's awesome to have some of your co workers support you! 😊 If this job begins to disturb you mentally and/or physically (it seems like it has already disturbed your mental health), I would suggest working someone else. Also, I know that many fast food restaurants need more workers, so it may get hectic sometimes. I pray that God will direct you and guide you in your decision making.🙏🏾 Also, I pray that you will begin doing what you're passionate about and that you will prosper and thrive in doing it.
@@ShandericaC no I haven’t yet, it’s a franchised owned, not corporate. I don’t know how it’s affecting my mental health, I seem to be in the same emotion going in most times (unless I hear the managers voice, then I get slightly annoyed but get over it), and yes I am still in school.
Lol! Well it's great to hear that the job isn't bothering you a lot and isn’t causing harm to your mental health. Oh, that's great that you're in school and able to get a job!😊 I assume that McDonald's is able to work around your school schedule. I'm sure you're going to do great at McDonald's and I'm sure you'll have more really good days. How your day goes is up to you and you seem to be allowing your days to go good and smooth.😁💛 Also, you know that you can achieve anything and if you ever wanted to leave McDonald's you could, and hopefully find something better. I'm glad you're not giving up just because you've had a couple of tough days.
Hi Shan! I applied on indeed this past Sunday(8/21/22), got a call on Tuesday(8/23/22), asking me to come in Wednesday(8/24/22) for an interview, had the interview with the owner/operator and a director on Wednesday, went so well that they hired me on the spot! I got my uniforms today(8/25/22)! I should be getting a call tomorrow(8/26/22) to get orientation setup and I hope that goes well! What does orientation consists of if you don’t mind? How are schedules communicated to everyone?
I was supposed to get a call to setup orientation today, but I didn’t. Have no idea when that’ll be.
Hi Mckale! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you!! 🎊🎉💛 For orientation, we went over information regarding what to wear, the core values, and things such as how to respectfully serve our guests. My group didn't have uniforms yet, so we wore red shirts, dark jeans, and tennis shoes. We practiced taking out orders, making desserts...which we got to taste them too, and we practiced actually taking orders. We used the Hot Schedules app and there we could request to be off, pick up extra shifts, and release shifts if it was okay with our director and shift lead for that day. We also used Group me to chat. 💛
It's totally okay, I'm sure your director will get with you soon. Let me know how everything goes. 😊
@@ShandericaC, gotcha! I’m excited!
I got an email from hot schedules to confirm my email but no login information yet. I also got an email from Chick-fil-A with temporary login information to they’re website, all that today and I’ve completed it already! I’m assuming that means they have me in the system so hopefully I’ll get the call on Monday!
I went through 2 interviews and got the job
Omg!! Congratulations!!🎉🥳 I'm so excited for you! I'm assuming you will start next week, or have you already started training?
I start training next week
Okay, this is awesome! I hope you have an awesome experience, and I'm sure you will! Keep me updated on how training goes for you.😊
So for my uniform pants size i just selected my jean size and i worried they wont fit😂
Also what do i wear to orientation? I have to pick up my uniform and stuff the day of orientation so im unsure what to wear while walking in
After working in McDonald's and interviewing for chick fill a I'm pretty much overwhelmed let's see if I go through the supervisor job at chick fill a
I hope everything goes well! Chick-fil-A is usually very organized and helpful to both employees and guests. God is always near and is a great comfort in times of being overwhelmed or anytime in our lives, so don’t be afraid to call on him. He’s gonna be with you wherever you go. You got this!🙏🏾💕
I went through one interview and I got the job and I start orientation on Tuesday I can’t wait
Congrats!!🎉🎊💛 I'm so excited for you! 😊
I had my interview today and she asked me easy questions like can you close and I said yea and she said alright you got it I got training Tuesday so I’m excited
Hi! I'm so excited for you!😄🎉💛 This is great. Plus, if you're still in school or have any other things going on, you would likely have time during the day since you'll be scheduled to close. I hope your training goes well. 😊
I just got an interview with my local chick fil a and I’m excited
Awww congrats!! I hope everything goes well!😊
@@ShandericaC thank you I put in my application on Sunday and they called me the next morning I think it’s possibly because I use to work for disney
You're welcome!! That's awesome, and I'm sure you enjoyed working at Disney. I hope you really enjoy working at cfa, it's really a great place to serve and it's fun. 😊
Thx so much! I was wondering about this
You're welcome!!
thinking about applying here. I have worked fast food before and have 0 problems with POS systems. The place i worked before had a pretty complicated menu too.
Cfa is really great, and you'll learn a lot. ❤️ Let me know if you decide to apply. You'll do great! 🙏🏾
i finished my first interview monday and have my second friday and im super nervous, im just g lad they are interested in me to where they scheduled the second one.. they said i'd be meeting up with a "operating partner." any idea what that is?
Hi!! Congratulations on your second interview, you're going to do great.🎊😊 You may be meeting with the operator/owner of the cfa franchise you're applying to...don't worry though, you'll be fine. 🙏🏾
@@ShandericaC hey it went great from what i can tell, he def seemed like the GM and he told me what my pay would be and some repetitive questions, and then said the person contacting me would be getting back to me for the next steps or somthing like that, i take that is a good sign!
Awesome!!! Yes, this is definitely a good sign. Congrats!!🎊😊
@@ShandericaC thank you!
You're welcome!!
It’s my 3rd week and I love it but it’s does get overwhelming
Yayyy!!! I'm so excited for you. 😊 It can be very overwhelming, but it gets better.🙏🏾 Is it the workload that's overwhelming, or are you referring to how busy it gets from time to time?
@@ShandericaC the busyness because my first day out of training and on my own my location had an event and the whole dining space was full and it was just a lot to take in but I will say I have so much fun and I am really loving and enjoying it.
Yes, cfa is definitely known for being really busy most days. It's totally okay if you need to step back and take some time to just breathe because sometimes we need that more than we think. You may not have time at that moment, but you will at some point during your day. You seem to be handling it well, which is good. It can be fun and stressful when its busy lol, and it makes the time go by fast 😂. I'm really glad you're still enjoying it. I'm so happy for you. 😊❤️
Just curious how flexible can they be with your schedule? I’m more of just a morning person, so would like to know if they can only give me morning shifts?
Hi! 😊My director at Chick-fil-A was pretty flexible with schedules, because we had a lot of students who were still in school. They would come in after school and some would work certain days. I personally took a lot of shifts, because I needed the hours. It's possible that they can work with you to make sure you only work mornings. There is also a possibility that you may be needed to work other shifts. It depends on the franchise. But, it wouldn't hurt to ask. 🖤
Hey!!! Im 18 just got hired, still in school. Does working from 6pm to 10pm means you close too? or not?
Hey!!! 💛That's awesome! Congratulations!!🎊🎉 Sometimes it depends on if they need you to help close and clean up. Usually, I would see people who were scheduled to work until 10 leave at 10 and people who closed were scheduled to work until 11. I think that's what it was, but I'm not too sure. 💛 Also, I recommend you ask one of the team leaders just to be sure. 😊
This is so random, but if I am applying to chick fil for my first job what do I put for my resume? I have never had previous experience before.
Hi!! If you have had any volunteer experience you could put that on your resume. Also, if you are involved in any school clubs, especially those that involve lots of leadership, then you could list that on resume as well. 😊
If u apply for full time, would they just give it you automatically? Even though u just started working there
I applied for part-time and that’s what I got. So, you should get what you applied for, but it may change depending on what is needed or what positions are available at the time. 💕 Your position should not change just because you just started working there, but I encourage you to ask during your interview, because things change sometimes.
Is Front of House or Back of House easier ? Which would you recommend ?
I prefer Front of House, just because I did not want to actually prep the food. Front of house was definitely fun for me and it helped me with my communication skills. I would not say that it is easier, but it was fun for me. Both FOH and BOH work together as a team, so it really depends on what you would enjoy best. I recommend trying both to see which best fits you. I’ve had co-workers who have done both. 💕
they just called for my first interview on wednesday! i hope i get the job!!
Hey Joshua! Congratulations!!🎉🥳😄 I hope the best for you and I hope the interview goes smoothly! 🙏🏾 You got this!
@@ShandericaC TYSM! i’ve been watching your vlogs for the past few weeks and they are really helpful with what the environment is like, and i like how detailed they are about how everything is
My pleasure!!😊 I'm really glad that the vlogs helped you! Thank you so much for watching them! I'm here if you have any questions, and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.
@@ShandericaC UPDATE: i’m hired! today was the interview day and they hired me on the spot, 10 minutes in!
Wow! Congratulations Joshua!!🎉🥳 I'm so proud of you! This definitely calls for a celebration. Will you be working front of house or back of house?
I have orientation on Monday im scared 😅
You’re going to do just fine!🙏🏾😊
I also work at Chick-fil-A too I’ve been their for about six months
Hi! That's great!!😄💛 Do you work front of house or back of house?
@@ShandericaC front of house
@@ShandericaC what about you
Awesome!!!😄 I used to work foh as well. I enjoyed it and my favorite part was preparing shakes/desserts and talking with the guests.🥰
@@ShandericaC yeah my favorite part is probably doing mobile drinks and window
I have my interview next week, and I stoked!
That's awesome!! 😊I hope all goes well with your interview. 🙏🏾
they emailed me saying I got the job and they said they were going to send me the paperwork cause I'm 15 but they haven't sent it yet and its been 2 days is that bad lol?
Good morning Kenzie! Omg!! Congratulations!🎉🥳 No, it's not a bad thing...they may have other new team members they're trying to get settled in as well. However, if you haven't heard from them by Friday then I recommend emailing them or calling them...just to make sure they're staying on top of things so you can get settled in too and began orientation and training. I'm super happy for you and I hope orientation and training goes well for you. Please keep me updated.😁
@@ShandericaC ok tysm!! I will I’m kinda nervous cause I think I’ll be the youngest one their but I’ll keep u updated! Thank you!!
Of course! It's my pleasure.😊 You may be surprised at how many 15 year olds are working at cfa. Lol! But either way you're going to have an awesome experience!😁 It's totally okay to feel nervous...I was too and sometimes I still get nervous. Lol!
So I was supposed to have my orientation today but no one told me they moved it next week so it was so awkward and then someone said “dress pants to orenintaion that’s a little fancy” and I almost cried lmao but yea I said I’d keep u updated lol so I will but quick quotation what did u wear to ur orientation I don’t want to be over dressed lol ?
It's okay Kenzie!😂 For orientation I was told to wear dark colored jeans, black tennis shoes, and a red t shirt. Thank you for keeping me updated! I hope your orientation goes well.😊
I have a zoom interview tomorrow omg 😭🌚 I’m nervous lol I’m praying I get it ❤️
This is the first time I've heard someone say they're having a zoom Chickfila interview. Lol! I can only imagine how nervous you are, and it's totally okay. I hope all goes well with your interview!🙏🏾 You're going to do great!💛
@@ShandericaC LMAOO I guess because of corona ! But, my interview got pushed back to tomorrow): but I’m on my way to my bath & body works interview so 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Lol! True...yesss you go girl! 😁It's great that you're taking advantage of your opportunities and applying to more than one place of work. 💛 God's got you regardless of what the outcome may be...🙏🏾
@@ShandericaC just got through the first interview at chick fil a & she said she wants to move forward with a second interview! 😅
Yayyyy!!!! I'm so excited for you! 😄
How do you do your schedule thresholds
Mix , max ,
I need help with that pls
Hey! So, I remember on Hot Shedules we had to submit our request to be off like one or two weeks ahead of time. You can click the date, then put how long you need to be off and list your reason why you need to be off. Usually how you schedule would be to click the + sign at the top and set your schedule by listing what days you can work and how long. You can also release and swap shifts. 💛
@@ShandericaC ok thank you so much ❤❤
You're welcome!!😊
Hello can't wait for Tuesday job interview
That’s great!! I hope your interview goes well. 😊
Thanks you so much you the only one wishing me good luck that have work at Chick-fil-A
Can you wear charm bracelets? If your not in the kitchen
Hey!! Unfortunately, they didn't allow us to wear charm bracelets up front nor at the back. However, leaders were allowed to wear the watches that connected to their phone. Also, I'm sure they allowed emergency bracelets in front of house and back of house. I think wedding rings with diamonds was prohibited too. Any kind of jewelry on the wrists was often prohibited. I saw some team members wear necklaces and earrings were allowed but they had to be ball stud earrings...no diamonds.
How many employees do y’all typically have working at once?
Hey!! 😊 So, it usually depends on the shift. For morning shift, we would usually have like 5 people in the pit and two outside taking orders. For lunch, we had a lot of people because lunch is our busy time. There is probably about three people on door, one on drinks, one on desserts, two in dining area, two bagging the food, and maybe a couple more to keep us stocked. To be honest there were times when almost three people were trying to fix drinks lol! But we showed up and showed out!!😝😝😝 Then there are two taking orders and one taking cash. Midshift is when there are not many people because there aren't a lot of guests coming. Dinner is somewhat like lunch. I hope this helps! 💛
thank you for sharing :D
You're welcome!! 😊
Girl u is so pretty 🥺
Thank you!!😊💛
Are u full time? Do u get breaks or is that only for minors?
Hi! I do not work at CFA anymore, but I was part-time. My hours looked as if I was working full-time because I picked up extra shifts. Yes, we received 30 minute breaks. There were some minors working, but they could only work a certain amount of hours, and there were certain tasks they were not allowed do because they were minors.💕
I have a question.. did you work part time ? And how many hours did you work on part time on a shift? Sorry i didn’t see the whole video
Hi! 😊 I was originally supposed to work part-time, but I would take on more hours just because I wanted to get the extra hours. If someone needed coverage, I would take it. However, I do not recommend doing this because it was very stressful. So, it's okay to pick up extra shifts now and then, but know yourself and know your limit. My shifts ranged from 6 to 2, 8 to 5, 11 to 8. Sometimes, I worked until closing. I hope this helps! 💕
@@ShandericaC thank you for answering ❤️❤️
You're welcome!!💕
DO YOU get free food?
Hey!! Yes, you usually get a free meal during your break. 😊 But, there were certain items that we couldn't get such as Mac and cheese, large sides, and desserts. Also, we had to use small cups with our meals.
I have my interview tmrw I’m so nervous it’s my first job so
Congratulations on interviewing for your first job!! 🎊🎉 You're going to well! 🙏🏾💛
@@ShandericaC I got hired on the spot!
😄 Congratulations!!🎊🎉 This is awesome news!!😊💛
I have an interview with my chick flia today I’m nervous but I’m excited for it.
That's great!!🎉🥳 I'm so excited for you. It's totally okay to feel nervous, but I'm sure you'll do just fine and the interview will go well. 😊 Let me know how it goes. 🙏🏾
@@ShandericaC update I got the job I have orientation Tuesday and Thursday of next week😊.
Yayy!!😄 Congratulations🥳🎉, I'm so happy for you!!💛💛
i just got hired i wanna work atleast 40 hrs do you think its enough to move out on
Hi!! Congratulations!!🎉🎊💛 I don't feel comfortable recommending whether you should move out on your own or not. But, depending on your salary and where you plan on moving to, you possibly could move into your own apartment or house. If your family is in no rush to have you move out, I wouldn't rush it even though having your own place would be great! Take time to save your money and learn how to invest. I personally wouldn't want to rush into getting a place and not be able to handle all the extra expenses that comes with it. It's totally up to you.😊 I definitely recommend you pray about this situation. 🙏🏾 Also, just be patient with yourself and don't forget to make time for your health regardless of how many hours you plan on working. I hope this helps.💛
today was my interview i got hired on the spot… i have orientation tomorrow morning and i’m hella nervous 😫🥺
Yesss!!! Congratulations!!🥳🎉😆 I'm proud of you!! You know that nervousness kicks in real quick. 😩 Lol! But you'll be surprised at how smooth things go when you have a great support system! Your team members and team leaders will have your back for sure!👍🏾
Tell me, what where the questions?
and how did you answer them
Hey! So, I can't quite remember all of the questions I was asked, but I do recall being asked where I see myself in five years. Also, I think they asked why I wanted to work at Chick-fil-A. I told them about my academics and that I was in college. I told them my goals for the future and current projects I was working on. I mentioned how I wanted to be apart of Chick-fil-A because of their mission to serve others and I told them how much I value serving others. I'm sure I even included how I have served throughout my community and my experience of working in the food industry as a waitress. I hope this helps! 💛
Wow, great video. Are you able to do this work while in school. Also does Chick fil a pay weekly or bi-weekly
Hi, thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed this video! I just started working 3 days per week because I'm starting college next week. Hopefully everything goes well so I'll have time to participate in college and work. I did try to work a lot of hours and take online courses during one term and that did not go well. I've learned my lesson. 😂 Also, I get paid bi-weekly but I'm not sure if all Chick-fil-A franchises pay bi-weekly. Are you in school, if so are you a high school student or college student?

What do you’re paychecks look like
Hey!!😊 When I worked at Chick-fil-A my paycheck started off at about $300 then as I grew and learned more it went up to about $600.
@@ShandericaC Is that after Taxes?
im watching these videos to see if i wanna apply 😭
😂 I hope the videos help in your decision. Honestly, I enjoyed working at Chick-fil-A. Will this be your first job?
@@ShandericaC Yes!
i just got fired , i feel so free ❤️ when i was 15 i worked 51 hours in a week, everything about it feels so illegal
Oh no, I'm sorry that you got fired. Woah! I'm sure you feel so relieved. 💛 51 hours in a week is a lot. How did you make time for yourself, family, school, activities, etc? I'm surprised you were allowed to work that many hours. I hope you find some place better to work when you're ready. 🙏🏾
@@ShandericaC it sure is . i didn’t have time for nothing 💔. i start mcdonalds in a week😁
Yep, I can only imagine🤦🏾♀️. That's awesome! I hope it goes well for you at McDonald's. Let me know how your first week goes.😁💛
Woahhh it felt illegal because it is illegal. Well at least in my state. When I was 15, I got my first job and I had all these restrictions like I couldn't work more than 8 hours on a non school day and more then 3 hrs on a school day (so like 4pm-7pm) and I couldn't do like things that involved fryers or grills or heavy equipment. They also had a paper I had to sign with what time I clocked in and what time I clocked out to monitor it
I have my interview tommrow 😳 I’m nervous
Awww congratulations!!🎉🎊 I'm so happy for you! It's okay to be nervous, but you're going to do great. I was nervous during my first interview, but it went really well once I understood that they just wanted to get to know me. 💛 I hope all goes well with your interview!! 🙏🏾
@@ShandericaC your the nicest CZcamsr ever I had to subscribe and everything , also they made another interview with me is that a good sign?
Thank you so much! You're so kind.💛 Yes, this is awesome! I would really like to know how your second interview goes. I actually had a second interview too. I hope all goes well!🙏🏾

Do you guys get free food
I work at chickfila
Hey! Yes, during our breaks we were allowed to order a meal, but we used small cups. However, with some entrees, such as a grilled cool wrap, we could not get a side. Also, we weren't allowed to get mac n cheese as a side. Some days we would be given cookies and some days we were allowed to get mac n cheese.
@@ShandericaC nice
We have 50%
With free drinks
How much do you get payed working 40 hours a week
Hey!! So, it depends on what a team member's salary is when they begin working. Some may start off at $7.50, $8.00, or maybe even $10 an hour.
@@ShandericaC What State pays that low?
@@ShandericaC Why not do Uber,Lyft or Uber Eats type of Jobs🤷🏾♂️even Amazon Flex is a good side Job

Congrats!!😁😆🎉 I really hope your interview goes well. It's totally okay to feel nervous lol! Once you've conquered the interview part, you'll feel relieved.💛 When we have big things, such as interviews, to look forward to we become so anxious. 😭 You're definitely going to be okay though and your interview is going to go smooth. They know we be nervous. 👀😂If you don't mind me asking, is this your first time attending a job interview?
@@ShandericaC this’ll be my second interview at 15
This is awesome!! 😄 You've gotten the experience of being interviewed and I'm sure you're going to do great! Chick-fil-A works with your schedule...whether it involves school and/or extracurricular activities. I'm hoping you enjoy your experience there and stay there long enough to apply and eventually qualify for one of their scholarships.😊 Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself lol! Let me know how your interview goes.
@@ShandericaC thank u so much ur so sweet. i'll be back & let u know how it goes!
Awww thank you!! 🥰 You're so welcome!!
What are the positions at chick fil a
Hey!! So, I worked as a front of house team member, then I was promoted to a front of house team leader. There are also front of house directors. I'm pretty sure the positions are the same for back of house, but if you worked boh you'd probably be cooking the food or the washing dishes. There is a lot more that goes on in boh though...I hope this helps! 😊 Oh I almost forgot that there are delivery drivers too!
Have you ever has to clean the bathrooms?
Hey!! Yes, I did have to clean the restrooms. However, I wasn't assigned to clean them most of time. When we opened the dining room, restrooms had to be checked like every 30 minutes. Cleaning our restrooms weren't much of a hassle because we always kept them clean and checked on them throughout the day. 😊
