What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Spend time on it, don't rush anything.
Answer honestly and don't try and overthink the process.
Practise for the online tests, you can find loads of examples online.
If this is your number 1 grad scheme (which it should be) then apply to others before so you understand the process; if you're not used to this kind of application it's good to have a feel for it before you start it.

Do you have any interview tips?

Be yourself, it's very quickly noticeable if you're not!

Prepare and read up knowledge about the company because
a) how can you even know you really want to work for a company if you don't know them and
b) how are you going to convince the company you want to if you don't know yourself

You don't need to sit knowing the exact locations of each attraction but knowing what brands are within Merlin is a good start.

I was mainly asked competency based questions in my interview e.g. give us an example of when you have been creative
give us an example of when you have gone above and beyond for a customer.
Always try to give work based examples.
You can find competency question examples all over, so think of examples for those questions and be prepared to think on your feet.
