Before the actual interview, all applicants take an "incredibly easy" math test regardless of the position you apply for. I found it shocking that it took an average of fifteen minutes for everyone in the testing room to finish when it took me just one minute. The questions consist of elementary school math questions (ex. If a customer buys ____ which costs ____ and gives you ____, how much change will he/she have?). After the test, all applicants meet in a room where general information is given about Universal Studios and an icebreaker group activity where you are paired up in groups and are tasked to draw and create your own theme park. All groups must present their creations (be sure you ration out the ideas for the presentation, or else one group member may say what you were going to say, in turn, screwing you over). After the presentations, a memory puzzle involving the placement of legos is put upon your group in order to test out group teamwork ability.
They pretty much hand out the jobs after these two tests. From my (biased) perspective, I feel that I did not do anything wrong. I felt that due to my age (17 at the time), I was put aside in which the older people have some sort of priority. I finished the math portion of the test in under a minute without any questions wrong, however I do believe they could have seen it as "rushing" my work. All in all, it was a fun interview despite the rejection, however it was an experience that helped me grow as a person.
