I'm loving reading this thread.
I've been reading all the post on here since 5am.... I don't sleep much.
I am doing CareerStart though, but there isn't many people on here talking about it, so I've been talking with people applying for CP.

It's been two weeks this coming Monday since my interview! Which for attractions my interviewer asked me questions relating to their theatre shows which excited me. I can't believe how nervous I was about and during the interview, I probably could have answered my questions better, but I had a solid 20 minute interview. So I do feel I did good. It was the first time doing a phone interview... I do way better in person. lol. My hands where shaking when I hung up the phone.

I'm soo anxious to find out if I made it. They said it would be two to three weeks, so this Monday my heart with be racing when I go to get the mail. Ahh. I hope I make it, I've met so many wonderful people online applying for CS and CP this Spring! We have started even making plans for when we're down there. Which I probably shouldn't have gotten that attached to people already, it would make the rejection more painful. But I think I have a great shot at this, I've gotten so much support from friends at work, including my managers, I'm doing a show at a theme park here in Kansas City, and the producer of it gave me very kind words saying I was the type of person they are looking for. So I feel very positive about this, I mean... that's all you really can and need to do to keep sane waiting maybe 5 weeks to get a letter. lol

Again I'm doing CareerStart, which do you think it will take the same amount of time as College Program to get a letter. I would assume so since it's the same office. I just seems more people apply for College Program than CareerStart, so I am hoping I will get my letter in the two to three weeks time frame that told me.

Talk to you all later... I have a meeting at work in two hours!

i understand that housing assignment is day one, traditions is day two and job assignment is day three.
does training begin the very next day?
does training take place on weekend days, or do you get put into a position on weekends that requires little skills, until training is complete?
i have no problem working any of the days, i am just curious.
thanks for any replies.!!

It actually is Job Location is Day 2, and Traditions is Day 3.

Training can start anywhere from Day 4 to Day 6 (it varies for everyone). And training can be on the weekend. You go around with your trainer until you have completed your training.

When I did the CP I had the same schedule as she just mentioned, except I had two days "off" before I started training (so day 6 was the start of training for me). I think I trained for a week or so before we were set free and able to work things on our own. I trained with one other person.

It varies depending on area, job, etc.

If you have done the college program, and wait a couple years, say 3 or 4, and I want to go back for the Professional Internship, what are the odds of getting in. Don't really take the years into account, that is just my plan. Obviously not as many apply for it as the CP, but they probably take a lot less too. Do you know how many apply and how many are accepted?

Just be aware that a LOT fewer people are accepted for the PIs. This makes it more difficult to be accepted for a PI then the CP.

But aren't you chances of being accepted much higher if you've already done the CP?

But that's just it- most of the PIs require having done the CP.

My daughter got her packet almost exactly 3 weeks after the interview. In fact she was going to call the next day because she had to do that to get the phone interview. Hang in there! I, for one, think you're a shoo-in judging by your personality as it shows on these boards. I'll be crossing my fingers for you!

Yeah. If there is room at your role after your CP ends (and your record card is clean), you can go FT. I plan on going FT after I do FA 2009 (hopefully).

 

[wll.henderson1]

thanks. and what is the estimated number they accept in the program?

 

[Joanna71985]

It's hard to know for sure. I heard around 7,000 (but that is just a guess).

 

[wll.henderson1]

wow. thats a relief. I am awaiting my letter. but i am too excited to find out.
