I had a face-to-face meeting with the hiring manager and a peer, who described the ideas and what they wanted to do. The meeting lasted about an hour and a half.

Afterward, I attended a six-hour session at the local football stadium, held in the private boxes. Once that concluded, I had to analyze a twenty-page document and perform basic project management analysis on it. Then, I had to present my output.

I also had to take a business idea, question another actor about it, and try to determine if the business idea had potential. I then had to present my findings, my conclusion, and explain why I said yes or no to the idea.

Following that, I had to pretend to be a VP coaching a director, who was a local actor. It was quite an interesting experience, and I scored highly.

The two positions that reported to the role I was going for were given to non-Visa people. Due to internal politics, the role I applied for was given to a Visa staffer, apparently to avoid upsetting anyone.

The Visa staffers I met were an interesting bunch; a couple seemed work-shy, while the others were pretty sharp.

Is the moon really made of cheese?
