It was pretty easy. They asked questions about why I wanted to be a tour guide and what activities I do on campus. I had a one-on-one interview, but I applied for a summer tour guide position, which I think is different from applying for an academic year position.

Behavioral Technical
I had a quick chat with the head of internal events, followed by a joint interview with her and the head of external catering. It was held at Wyndham, and the fancy decor was a bit intimidating. The main goal is to confirm you'll actually show up for work and to gauge your dedication. They aim to hire the minimum number of summer workers so that everyone gets a lot of hours. This setup makes it tough for people to get shifts covered when there's a big event (like Bonnaroo) that everyone wants to attend. My advice: dress well, be courteous and smile, act like you know what you're doing and can follow directions.

Behavioral Group
I had a 30-minute panel interview with 2-3 people first. Then, I had a second, two-hour-long interview that involved multiple group panels and some one-on-one chats with people I'd met before and many new faces. After these two interviews, they said I'd hear back in under two weeks. But it took about 5-6 weeks, so almost two months after applying, I got an automated email saying the role was filled.
