College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[Seewhatimesdone]

You are required to be scheduled at least 5 days a week. You can't request off a whole week. But you can give away the shifts you are scheduled for. I mostly had no problem giving away shifts, but you can always call in if it comes to that!

An easier way to try and get off more days in a row is travel over the weekend. You can request off on Friday/Saturday of the first week and then Sunday/Monday of the next week and then try to give away Thursday and Tuesday to get more days off...

You got to work at the great movie ride?! That's so awesome

Maybe I had mean managers, but if we tried to give away a shift rather than exchanging shifts with someone, we were not allowed. Their reasoning that if you were FT you had to work five days. There is the option of getting two days off in a row, then calling in as a personal/sick day for another day or two. But only if you don't mind having that on your record.

Ah I see. That's a good idea. I'll definately have to request that weekend off and do what you say. Thanks!

if you know what days you will want off now, then email your recruiter. Right after i got accepted a few weeks ago i emailed my recruiter that i needed 3 days off a friday saturday and sunday in may so that i can go to my graduation. She put in a request for me for those days and i got a conformation email a few days later saying that i have the days off.

Wow that's nice. i have never heard of that happening although it could be because of the fact that is your graduation. Personally I never had trouble getting days off as long as I put the request in far enough ahead. Also when my parents came I was able to ask for three days off in a row and I asked to be scheduled later in the day. Plus we had no trouble giving shifts away.

Hah I really feel like the odd man out of this group

Why's that?

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

Why's that?

Because everyone's already accepted. I wasn't good enough to get a spot with the three I requested so I had to sign up for more and i'm still waiting

Aww! I'm sure it will be here soon.

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

Aww! I'm sure it will be here soon.

I'm not really sure what to expect. This whole process has been a little strange.

Don't worry, I'm sure you did fine.

Don't worry, I'm sure you did fine.

thank you so much. i spoke with you on aim last night and you helped to cool my jets a bit! thinking over the interview a couple days later, im feeling a little more confident, just worried about the fact i sounded very very nervous and because i forgot to read the code to my interviewer. silly me.

Just curious...which three did you put down?
I put down Merchandise, Vacation Planner, Full Service Food and Beverage and Attractions...
I still haven't heard anything back yet (on week 3).
