Here is a short video from the LEGO Master Model Builder audition at LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Manchester. This will give you some ideas of what to expect if you are interested in this LEGO career opening.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Twenty hopefuls faced the most unusual job interview ever as they competed for the coveted position of a LEGO Master Model Builder at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Manchester, March 2010. Contestants faced a tough panel made up of LEGO model builders as well as children. The auditionees were first asked to create an animal-model in just fifteen minutes. Then those who progressed to the second round were given an hour to create a famous face out of LEGO.
If you are interested in this position, but have some questions, let me know and I will get you in touch with the representative who contacted me. Otherwise you can just register here, and you will receive further details after the registration period closes. Good luck! 😉
