I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Universal Studios
Interview
I applied online and was called in to schedule an interview the next week, a day later. I dressed nicely and was one of the few to do so. We went through a 3 step process. The first was a basic math test (middle school level), the second was a kind of group presentation to see how well we worked together. The last step was the actual interview.
It was a fairly easy interview. Got my interview on the spot. I smiled a lot and was myself. Talked about my experiences, favorite universal movies, they really just want to get to know you. It really is a fun job where you meet all kinds of people

Question 1
Why would you like to work at Universal Studios Hollywood?
I applied online. I interviewed at Universal Studios
Interview
The interview was really simple. You go in and they call you into the interview rooms. My interviewer was really nice and welcoming. Simple questions asked like why do you wanna work here, how would you make the experience better for guests, how would you deal with a coworker who is always late, etc.

Question 1
How would you make the park experience better for guests?
I applied online and was called back within a couple days, they set up an interview appointment for the next day. They used to have group interviews but I was happy to see that wasn't the case anymore as I feel I never do well in that type of environment right off the bat. I showed up for a one on one interview and sat in a waiting room for ten minutes. They gave me a 20 question math test and there was one other person also waiting to be interviewed. (The test was easy, even for a person like me that hates math.) The interviewer brought me into a room right next to where I was waiting and he was very warm and comforting which helped my nerves. The questions were pretty simple, a lot of questions about yourself and how you've handled complicated situations and people in your life. All in all the interview only lasted maybe 15 minutes and not a single question stumped me. I got called back a week later with a job offer. The true hard part of the hiring process was the week long (paid) training process where you are still actually being considered for employment. First you go to general orientation where they introduce you to their basic principles and let you participate in team building games. Then you do a job specific orientation (both are in classroom settings) then you go on to the long days where they take you around every area of the park. For parks services we need to know every inch of the park and need to be able to direct every guest where they need to go. We rotate all the time so we also need to be familiar with every station. Then after all of that is over you have take a 100+ question test during the third and final orientation, and yes it's possible to fail and have your job offer revoked. So pay attention and make sure you know all of the attractions an bathrooms
