College Presentation

[Zweek]

A presentation will be held at my school next week and I was wondering what that consists of? Should I register for the CP Spring 09 online now or wait until the presentation?

You need to print off the application. So I would apply online a day or two before.

Bring in your app all filled out. You will watch a video presentation and listen to the recruiter as well as former CPs talk about the program. They understand that most kids are coming after classes so it's not necessary to dress up, but it doesn't hurt. The recruiter will likely make you hand in your applications one at a time (the way they order the pages I think is the first step of the yes/no process) and you will set up an appointment for a phone interview.

Hmm.. The CP campus rep didn't say anything about doing an application for the presentation. Can you point me a link to where I can get it?

I have been wondering about this too. Is it a normal interview? I have a resume prepared. Do I need to bring it? Will it help if I do?

It's just a basic interview, pretty simple. A resume isn't necessary, mostly because 99% of all interviews are done over the phone now (not in person).

hey guys! I'm a campus rep at my university and I can try and help clear the air on some of your concerns!

Dressing up for the presentation doesn't hurt, because the entire campus rep team will be dressed professionally, and you also have the potential to be interviewed that day/night so looking prepared is great!

The way we do it at my university is that people come to our presentations and watch the presentation video and after the presentation is over, those people that have applications ready to go are offered to interview at that time if their schedules permit. now, if they don't have their application and role checklist with them, The campus reps walk with them to the nearest computer lab and have them fill them out online, and print them out and walk back to our presentation location. They are given an interview immediately if they want it.

now, if the person has time conflicts, they can either interview the next day if available((we hold 2 presentations at my school)) or, schedule a phone interview.

I would definitely bring a resume, because it helps and shows you are prepared. I took my resume to my interview.

also, think about what you really wanna do for the company, and speak about that desire in your interview. I didn't care what i did at disney, i just was adamant about not working custodial. During my interview, I talked about how much food service jobs i'd worked such as concession stands and such since I was in high school. ironically enough, i was placed in Stands East in Magic Kingdom in Quick Service food and beverage. and I loved my job!

The way we do it at my university.... !

I've got a feeling that the way things happen at your school are more the exception than the rule these days.

Even on the official site, they flat out say that the majority of interviews are conducted over the phone.

that's great if they are doing in person interviews at your school, but most people interviewing won't get that opportunity.
