College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

Yes it can take longer for three weeks. However, you would already know that if you planned to audition and if you have a restricted rehire they tell you. I would know from experince but generally it is 3 weeks.

Does not having previous job experience really hurt?

Also, what is the percentage of those accepted?

Nope. When I did my first CP, it was my first real job.

It will be my first real job if i'm accepted

Well, that makes me feel better.

What did they ask you in your interview, like how often you have visited the parks (which would work in my favor).

Haha no, nothing like that. They ask you questions that relate to the roles you applied for. Like if you applied for attractions they would ask you what you would do in a certain situation. They're mostly customer service situations.

No, not really. The questions range from personal questions (why do you want to do the CP?) to questions about the roles you picked.

So, I'm a little furious right now. I called my idiot recruiter ***** yesterday, saying that it had been a full month since my interview date/day I mailed/faxed everything, and was wondering if my materials had been processed yet. That was all, not berating them for being slow or anything, just wanted to hear from them. I got this email this morning. Literally, this was the whole thing.

Kelly,
I am not sure you totally understand our process here in Florida. If you would like to give me another call, I would be happy to explain.

Thanks, *****

Um, excuse me, but that's a bit rude. And she didn't even have the courtesy to spell my name correctly while calling me an idiot.

I was going to email her today, but I'm just gonna wait. I can't imagine what the recruiting office is like down there, and the amount of calls and emails they've been getting from all of us frustrated people waiting to hear back from them. I'm sure Michelle and the other recruiters are having a tough time with all of this, and I'm sure this wait is out of their control by now.

I'd be careful my friend.

we all know Disney reads these boards.

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

I think maybe they're just really busy or having some problems we don't know about. Unless it's ESSENTIAL that you find out, like for another internship, job, school, etc. it's probably best not to call them or email them. They're really busy and doing their best. I know it's frustrating but i'm sure we'll hear something soon. A lot of people from previous years have waited this long and even longer so I don't think we have anything to worry about

 

[Joanna71985]

Hang in there everyone. I know the wait can be really frustrating.

 

[Jules76126]

Yah I have michelle too and have been emailing back and forth. I got the whole I dont think you understand our process line as well. Unforunately im waiting on rehire paperwork (apparently I still have to fill it out) then I get an answer after that in three to four weeks. I wish they would just hurry up and send it out. i mean they have already talked to my managers who haev given support for my rehire so whats the problem lol. I am trying to be patient and im giving them until the end of next week to email me that paperwork and if not then i will email them again. i stated many times that Im not trying to be impatient or rude but it would be nice to get some concrete answers.

 

[Saxsoon]

Well, my inerview is tomorrow. How long does the interviewusually take? How many are usually accepted to those who apply?

Ooo, good luck!! What roles did you pick?

The length of the interview can vary. But it usually takes around 15-20 minutes or so.

 

[InventorsDaughter]

Oh my god they didn't get my application!!!!!!

I can't believe it, I emailed them to ask how long the process takes *** I thought it was odd I hadn't received an email saying they'd got my resume and they didn't even get my application!!!

My friend is in the same boat! I'm really gutted, I'm gonna be waiting even longer now.

URGENT IF ANYONE APPLIED THROUGH YUMMY JOBS WEBSITE, RATHER THAN EMAILING YOUR RESUME TO THE ADDRESS ON THE IP SITE, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE RECEIVED YOUR APPLICATION!

Really don't want this to happen to anyone else (although it does reduce the competition hehe)

Ok, rant over, Nell, it'd be really useful if you could get hold of your English friends, I'm really restless! Sorry if you miss this post, I haven't quoted because I didn't want that it ^^^^ to be overlooked!

They read the boards? That's really weird. Isn't that some sort of invasion of privacy? Someone on facebook messaged me and said she'd gotten an e-mail with portions of her posts in it!

Anything you put onto the internet is fair game. It can get you rejected from colleges, fired from your job, even arrested. It kind of sucks XD Just be careful about posting pictures of yourself when there's anything in it that might get you into trouble. Even if you're not drinking you can get in trouble for pictures where there is alcohol. I took down a picture of my sister and I at her 21st birthday party even though I wasn't drinking once I realized it could get me in trouble. Kind of stupid...

Not really. Companies have even started checking people's Myspace and Facebook accounts before hiring. Just be careful of what you post, and you'll be fine.

I know, but is it possible that she wouldn't accept me into the program because I posted something mean about her? Would that be unethical, since that's not part of the guidelines they look at for hiring, or could she do that since there's not really anyone checking up on them? And I feel it was sort of inappropriate to take posts and e-mail them back to somebody. Bit stalkerish if nothing else.
