Thorpe Park Interview

I used to work at Thorpe Park as a Food and Beverage Host. I was put into the Rides and Attractions group interview which I thought was unusual but still passed!

First, someone from Thorpe Park will give a presentation about the merlin values. You can prepare for this by googling these values. They'll ask everyone in the room (approx. 30) to pick a value and give a reason why you like it. Don't pick loyalty because you're loyal to friends.

First was the group exercise. You're in a group of 4-6 others and you need to do a role play. The aim of this role play (for the rides and attraction) is to ensure that customers are having a good time. Get 1-2 people to be the customer and everyone else as employee. Then you can start the role play by getting the customers to sit down on the ride, make sure that have seat belt and make some small talk. Make sure that you talk!

1-1 interview (only if you passed the group exercise): give me an example of when you delivered excellent customer service, give me an example of when you received excellent customer service, tell me about yourself. And they'll give you some scenario questions. e.g. you're working in a ticket office. How do you keep yourself motivated?

Thank you so much! I had the interview yesterday and I hope passed. There was different aspects that were different to your description but I'm glad it's over and done with now.

They also kept shuffling and moving people around? What does could that mean?

Sorry to intrude but I have been invited for an interview also - may I ask what you wore to your interview

You're not intruding!

Being in Sixth Form, it certainly helped with the dress code, but I wore slacks, blouse and a cardigan over it. Smart-Casual.

Don't be too casual wearing jeans and stuff because that just shows that you're not really making the effort. With my session at least, everyone took the dress code seriously (perhaps because for most of them it was their first job interview) so you'll stick out like a sore thumb... and not in a good way.

Turn up early so you get to meet the other candidates so you at least know a few people there and therefore more comfortable with the environment. The staff is overall really kind and sometimes offer aid with the activities.

It has been said that it takes less than 3 minutes for someone to make a judgement of you, even before hearing you speak and your views... So make it a good one!
I hope I didn't reply too late!
Good luck!

No No you didn't infact just in time! Thank you ever so much - did they offer you a job there and then?
