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.

Exactly How are you these days Joanna?

Exactly How are you these days Joanna?

I'm pretty good. I seriously hate school now. But at least I only have 3 days a week. How are you?

XD I feel the same way. I only have 4 days a week and thankfully get friday's off.

I was just about to post this question but you pretty much know all I was wondering how the recruiter's work. I know we interview with someone but then we get emails from recruiters. Mine's Jessica but I don't really know what her role is in all of this. Does she make the desicion on whether i'm accepted or not based on the notes taken during the interview?

Attractions, Merchandise, and character assistant.

I filled out the application. Do I need to seperately email or mail it to them?

Nice choices! You need to do both.

How though, where do I email the thing, and where do I find the address. I saw no such thing when I filled it out.

When you print out the role checklist, there's an address on the last page that you're supposed to use to send that and your application to

Do I need to email it before my interview tomorrow, and what about mailing it? When should that be done?

And I recieved a role sheet at A&M's presentation yesterday and they kept it. Do I still need another?

If you don't think you will need them for the interview, I would mail them out ASAP. I believe they need to be faxed too.

Does anyone have an idea as to how many people apply. (yes I want to know, surprisingly enough, it will calm me)

I went on the CP program in Spring 2007 and I loved it. I am now a campus rep. I dont mean to scare you but alot of people apply, and the program is becoming more and more competitive. So my adivice to you is check off as many roles on the checklist as possible. None of the roles are bad and it will give you more options and a better chance. If you limit yourself to just a few choices you will make your chances of the jobs filling up higher. I hope this helps!!!! Good luck!!! It will be th experience of your life.

Thanks for the tips I'm glad to hear your experience was so amazing. I really hope I get accepted!

I was wondering...
For the bibbidi bobbidi boutique hostess, do they require that you know how to style hair? Or is it just a recommendation or what? It seems like a fun role and I am really interested in doing hair but I don't have any experience and I would love to work with kids...
Attractions and BBB are my top picks...

That was one of the reasons why I didn't apply for BBB. I thought it sounded really fun but I have no experience and I didn't want to ruin any kid's magical days XD

I figure that its worth a shot...
They gotta train you right? So...here's to hopping hehe.
Worst case scenario...I don't get it. If I don't hopefully I get attractions (if I get in of course)

I'm sure that they'll definately train you. It'll be fine whatever you get

I don't think that there is an exact number. However, people do get turned away. At least Patterson is starting to give them more room.

From what I have heard, they try to pick people who have experience in this area.

I've heard that in your interview they ask if you have salon experience and if the answer is no they pretty much move on to the next role.

And now I feel like a total jerk. I talked to Michelle on the phone and she said she was sorry that I took her e-mail the wrong way.

She was concerned about my professionalism. And in person I'm extremely poised and professional, so that made me really nervous. And the thing is, she should have no idea it's me, but I had no idea they read the boards so I just used my name for my username. I thought "what? I'm going to meet some of these people in person, anyway." Bad idea, apparently.

She said, "If you reacted this way to such a tiny setback, it just makes me concerned with how you'll deal with guests if there's a problem." And I had to explain, tearing up and feeling like an idiot, that I'd had problems with financial aid this year, and doing the program was going to save me about $20,000. So my dad’s calling me every day to find out if I get in, because he’s helping me pay for school. Plus my adviser was all over me to decide whether I'm taking a leave of absence or not, since it's a pretty arduous process at my school. So I have him e-mailing me every few days. Plus I’ve been extremely sick for almost two weeks now (first a cold, then the stomach flu, now a cold again), so I’m tired and cranky to begin with. I didn’t mention being sick, except to say I had a cold since I sound odd on the phone.

Then she said she understand, and she had just been concerned. Then she told me I had an answer in the mail. Which makes me nervous. A yes answer? A no answer? Argh.

I hope my fever-induced quick temper didn’t screw me over for the whole program.
