      Food Service Associate Interview

      11 May 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Universal City, CA
      No offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Universal Studios

      Interview

      Applied online, got a call about a week later and set up an interview the next day. They call you into a room and walk you through what positions are open/requirements. You do an easy math test, and get called into the 1:1 interview (it's suuuper easy, almost impossible to fail). Then you do a group interview. During the group interview, they had 3 activities: find something everyone has in common, design a theme park, and build a lego model using only verbal directions. Just make sure you listen to directions carefully (you'd be surprised how many people don't!!), be loud, and be original! 4 out of 6 of the groups in our interview designed "Fast and the Furious" land and I'm pretty sure that's why we didn't get the job.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Universal Studios (Universal City, CA) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      Applied online. Received a phone interview three days latter. Came up to what I figured was a 1 on 1, but was really " Universal Training School". You see Power Points, take a simple math quiz, and the lectures "you don't want to work here." You meet with a recruiter, and are asked two simple questions, " What's your favorite film and "Why Universal?" If you pass the personality test, your told someone will call you for Audition Day. Mind you, this was for a $9.00 food cart position!! I get a call about two weeks later. Next morning, do the Auditions. It was 4 groups, had to build legos and create our own theme park out of markers. Complete waste! The end is real embarrassing, the tell you if you're going on "American Idol" style. Not worth my time again!! It doesn't matter how much you speak, the whole time you are graded!!
