Easy Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SEA LIFE (Blackpool, England) in June 2023

Interview

So much fun and different. Engaging and entertaining. Friendly managers that where there and was a variety of stuff to do. Involved an acting exercise, performing a fake shark talk and then a 1 to 1 interview. I got another job before the decision was made about if I had the job or not but from experiences working for Merlin in the past they are quick to get back to you

I applied online. I interviewed at SEA LIFE in Mar 2023

Interview

It was a group interview consisting of around 20-25 people in a classroom like setting. We were given 3 types of “tests” within our given group to show our skill set we had to offer 1) bring something sentiment/value to you to present and talk about - we had to do this in front of everyone 2) a mini tour around the facility in which we had to learn about a certain type of fish and then in our group talk about it in a specific style (tv presenter, hostess, (gameshow presenter) - I had it in a news reporter format. 3) we had to come up with an idea in our groups of what to create if the CEO gave us an unlimited budget for a new section in the aquarium and draw it. We also had to included the type of marketing. Overall the experience was a bit boring for me since I mass applied and expected a 1-1 interview. If you like talking and doing group interviews then this is for you and go ahead for it but I don’t think it’s worth going through it all for the pay they were offering, at most you can gain some experience if working with animals is something you want to do but again I think working at a farm will be more interesting. I quickly learned this is not for me.

Really quick and the interviewer's were friendly! You likely needed more experience to progress to round 2. I had some professional experience from a summer job at a fair but it wasn't enough/what they were looking for.
