The restaurant chain hopes to hire as many as 50,000 new employees nationwide, including about 2,000 crew and managerial positions in Northern California and western Nevada.

“We’re looking for part-time to full-time positions depending on the needs of the store, from crew-level to store-level,” said Clay Merrill, a McDonald’s spokesman in Sacramento.

During the day, applicants can pick up or drop off applications, even sit down for on-the-spot interviews with McDonald’s managers.

Call a local McDonald’s to find when it is accepting applications or conducting interviews, Merrill said.

Though Tuesday marks McDonald’s first national job event, it has had regional hiring days in the past, and last year’s effort in Northern California and western Nevada was the largest it had ever held.

The one-day event drew thousands of people hoping to land opportunities at the Golden Arches.

More than 100 applicants alone showed at a McDonald’s at 30th and K streets in Sacramento.

“The turnout was reflective of the need for employment in this market,” Merrill said. “We think we’ll be just as successful this year.”

Harris Liu, owner of the 30th and K Street location, said last year’s event opened the eyes of many job seekers.

“We’ve got a ton of opportunities. People who started at the ground level have worked their way up” into higher paying positions in the company, Liu said, adding that about 80 percent of employees he hired at last year’s event are still working for the company.

“We’re not the only solution,” he said of McDonald’s hiring campaign, “but we’re part of the overall solution to turning the economy around.”

Liu said the restaurant chain is a good fit for working families.

“We offer flexibility with scheduling and we can work around people’s home needs,” Liu said.

His advice for applicants on Tuesday: “Come in ready to impress with lots of energy. In return, you can get a great start.”
