      Average Interview
      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Universal Studios (Hollywood, CA) in Dec 2023

      Interview

      The interview went per usual. They asked simple questions, and went pretty smoothly. 3 people instead of just one was a different experience, but overall wasn't bad. Had different questions per person. Would recommend not mentioning any info about working in the film industry. They highly discrimate against this. I mentioned this once and have yet to even get into another interview because of this. I'm not too sure if they are discriminating for any other reason but just be careful.
