I applied online. I interviewed at Main Event (Knoxville, TN) in Oct 2019
Interview
I spoke to an attendant and told them I was there for an interview. I was immediately seated, it wasn't long before the manager came to speak to me. He was very friendly and professional. He explained to me the different positions and how they do things and asked me what I was interested in but also gave input based on what he saw of my personality and suggested some other positions that may be a good fit for me. I was told about the different things they offer (parties, groups, etc.) I was told how the hiring process would go so I know what to expect and was asked if I had any questions and was directed to come back at a specific time an day for my orientation.

Question 1
Transportation, availability, any prior experience, what got me to apply.
The Interview process was pretty easy. Had 2 interviews, one with the General Manager and the other one with the Games Manager. Both are great people. The interview was just about getting to know me and introducing the company to me.
2 interviews with nice managers who just needed to know my schedule and if I was a student. They also asked if I was into in getting certified for the ropes course. I said no but was still hired on the spot.
