Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Universal Studios.
Cook
There was one interview round, which was a group hiring session held offsite with the manager from the location I applied to. They asked basic interview questions, like you'd expect for any job, nothing too exciting.
- Tell me about yourself.
- Why are you interested in this position?
- What is your experience as a cook?
Retail Associate
You'll need to fill out your availability schedule first. Then, take a quick math test. After that, you'll be called into a big room for a one-on-one interview, where other people will also be interviewed separately. The whole thing takes two days. The first day is basically to see if you're friendly. The second day is with the manager for the job you want. Make sure to bring your ID and social security card on the second day.
- Tell me, what's your favorite movie?
- Imagine this: a customer wants a shirt that isn't in their size. What would you do in that situation?
- Could you act like a wizard and talk to some muggle customers?
Cashier
The application was submitted online, and the appointment was also scheduled online. On the day of the appointment, it was very busy with many other applicants. The interviewer was friendly. If you have prior experience working for Disney, emphasize that as they seem to value it. They will directly ask you about the information listed on your resume.
- Why did you depart from your prior role at Disney?
- What are your aspirations for working at Universal?
