College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[_frazzle]

what is the dress code for training and graduation, is it disney look, same as traditions?
also, my recruiter is rebecca.
i emailed her and got an auto-reply that she is out of the country doing international recruiting.
she wont return until oct 28th.
did anyone else get a similar email?
does another recruiter cover their calls and emails while they are not accessible?

Don't worry, I got the same reply when I asked her a question yesterday. She DID say that she'll check her email every once in a while though so hopefully we get answers soon! Mine isn't really that important of a question though, just a general inquiry.

Training is professional attire for the most part (almost the same as Traditions).

oh wow. i didn't even think about this? what do you mean for the most part? like i was thinking about just bringing like 2 "traditions outfits". how much would i need to bring of nice clothes?

I was curious, I applied for Spring Adv., but if by some chance I get Spring, is it possible to switch? Or extend? That hasn't happened (just had the interview 2 days ago), but someone commented on another thread that they'd gotten Spring and were possibly going to see about extending. One of the main reasons I applied for Adv. was so I could be gone all summer.

Some days in training, you are in costume.

It depends on if there is room. Sometimes there isn't. If there isn't, you could always extend. As long as you keep your record card clean, it is pretty easy to extend.

So in your experience, how many days of business clothes did you need?

 

[Jules76126]

I only had like one pair of business clothes. I wore a pair of dress pants to traditions with like a blouse and heels. But on my discovery day I wore the same pants, a different top. Other than I was in costume the whole time during training and what not. I never took classes or went to any of the networkign events so one pair was enough for me.

I don't need Traditions. So I only brought about 3 sets of business clothes for training, events, ect.

Hello Everyone! I have been reading the College Program threads for quite a while now, but I just decided to start posting on them. Everyone who has posted has really helped me learn so much about the College Program. I applied for Spring 09' a few weeks ago, then I attend the campus presentation last week, and I interviewed this morning. I am very concerned because I did not get asked any "scenario" questions. For example, one of my roles was character attendent, but I never was asked questions like "If a little girl came up to you and asked you why Mickey Mouse doesn't talk, what would you say?" Has anyone ever interviewed without getting asked question like these. We did talk a lot about what roles I would consider doing, and there were quite a few roles I am willing to do. My interviewer was extremely nice and I felt things went well, but looking back I feel like there were a lot of things I was not asked. Should this concern me? Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks, Kris

They ask questions ranging from personal questions (why do you want to do the CP?) to questions about the roles you picked. Good luck!!

I've got a quick question I see it says you have to have at least one completed semester does it matter if what school this is at? I am in my first semester at my current college but had transferred there this year. At my other college I had done 2 so technically its my 3rd semester. But I'm guessing it doesn't matter since you have to have completed one semester by the time the program starts is that correct?

You're correct. It doesn't matter

I think you should be fine.

I tried calling her again today and leaving a message. Now i'm really getting worried. I don't know if this is going to get worked out

It doesnt matter. I went to school in Florida for a year and then transferred to another school. I was only at my new school one semester and was able to do the program. The only requirement is that you have completed one semster of college somewhere and are still enrolled in school.

You're welcome.

I would dress comfortably. No, there isn't anything you need to bring (besides yourself).
