At KFC, we feed the world. But we do more than fill people up. We fulfill their life. Our meals matter, and when we serve them with southern hospitality, we make our customer's day. So our jobs are more than a paycheck - they're about being independent, having fun, and making new friends. As a Team Member, you could be the smiling face that greets and serves customers. Or you could be the cook that prepares our world famous chicken (and tell your friends you know the "secret" - just kiddin'). Whatever job you do, you know what you do matters - to your team and to your customers.

Requirements: The good news is that your training will teach you everything you need to know to succeed on the job. But there are a few skills you should have from the get-go:

• You're a fun and friendly person who values customers and takes absolute pride in everything you do.
• You like talking - a lot - even to strangers (despite what your Mom told you). This is important, because you're not able to text message customers.
• You've got attitude - the right kind of course - and understand the need to be on time, all the time. With loads of energy, you understand that work is easier - and more fun - working as a team.
• You're at least 16 years old.

Company Introduction We make fried chicken-heck, we practically invented it. If they ever make a food hall of fame, our chicken is gonna be a first-ballot inductee. It all began with the man, the myth, the legend himself. In 1930, in a humble service station in Corbin, Kentucky, 40-year old Harland Sanders began feeding hungry travelers. Sanders spent the next nine years (now that's dedication) perfecting his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, as well as the basic cooking technique we still use today. There are now over 24,000 KFC outlets in more than 145 countries and territories around the world. Times change but values don't. And just like the Colonel, we know that nothing beats the value of hard work. It's what goes into every good old fashioned meal we make. It's also why, after more than 90 years, folks all over the world keep coming back for more.
