College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[WDW_lover_in_SC]

On the Disney Look info section about the CP it says:

Hairstyling
Following are the Disney Look guidelines for hairstyles:
Hair must be neatly cut and tapered on the back and sides, forming a smooth, symmetrical appearance so that it does not extend beyond or cover any part of the ears or the shirt collar. The overall style must be neat, natural, and balanced proportionally.
A shaved head is permitted, as well as a very short military-style cut.

I'd call a buzz cut a military-style cut, but I think that's something to ask a recruiter just to be on the safe side.

here's where I found it:

Thanks for your help just wanted to see what everyone else thought I'm thinking it will be good I'm going to ask a recruiter just to be sure. Thanks again.

I got that e-mail the day after. I'm still waiting for my big white envelope

 

[LoveJen]

I'm waiting too!!! Every hour I'm checking my e-mail!

 

[newdrama12]

I try not too. But I end up checking it about three times a day and check my dorm mailbox every time that I pass it.

 

[krystina&thebeast]

i have such a love/hate relationship with my phone right now. i love that i can check my email whenever i want but i also HATE that i can check it every five minutes. i've already beat it into my head that i've been rejected & as a distraction, i'm making my plans to improve & apply in spring (i'm still not distracted )

Sounds we need to start a support group! Which program did you guys apply for and when was your interview dates?

I'm Jennifer by the way. I applied last Friday, for the Florida CP. Time to get out of California! I picked the roles, Attractions, Photopass, Character Attendant and Merchandise. During my interview, I only got asked Attractions questions which I was surprised at, but i'm excited cause thats what I really want to do!

 

[krystina&thebeast]

i'm krystina! i applied for the Fall CP in anaheim last Tuesday (the 13th) & i picked costuming (i'm an apparel design major), guest relations, & merchandise. my interviewer asked if i wanted to add custodial & i did because i'll just be happy to work there no matter what i do! i was asked quite a few questions about all four of the roles (costume, guest relations, merch, & custodial).

good luck, btw

 

[DisneyCoops]

Goodluck Christina!!! I hope you get the role you want : ]
I recently got accepted to do attractions and am really excited!!
I hope I get a ride like haunted mansion or tower of terror. I can't wait to get down to disney

I'm Daniel and applying for the Fall Advantage. I interviewed on monday, April 12th. Top two were Character Attendent and Attractions. didn't get any specific questions about either one of them. Whole interview took 10 minutes. interviewer seemed a little angry when I answered, but seemed to get happier with each answer i gave...not sure what was going on there...

I'm not sure if this has been asked already because there's just way too many pages to search through but what's the difference between the Career Start and the College Program?

The Career Start program is for anyone that has graduated from high school within the last 48 months. Not much roles are offered to career starters. And very few are accepted each recruiting season.
The College Program offers a lot more roles. To be eligible, you have be enrolled in school and taking at least 1 credit class and you have to have completed a semester in college before the start of your program.
If you want more information here is the site for the career start program and the college program.

 

[cyndirelly]

Awesome! Thanks so much. Do you know if there's a contact email somewhere? I've looked on the websites and haven't found anything :/ Because I'm in a full time dual enrollment program in a college so I don't know if that counts as a semester.

Actually to me ( I was accepted this year for qsfb under careerstart) it doesn't seem like few are accepted it seems like its now very well known so fewer apply which means there are less of us.

You'd have to apply as Career Start - dual enrollment doesn't count for the CP.

I tried to do the roommate matching thing but my date is ineligible. Why? Something about entirely empty rooms, I don't know why that would matter. I wanted to do it

One of two things...

If you're arriving in May it's probably too late for the roommate match.

If you're arriving in August it's probably too early.

Just a guess.

When I did my program a couple years ago the roommate match was open for a specific time, something like the window of 30-60 days before our arrival date. I tried before the 60 day mark, but had to wait until it opened. A friend of mine had less than 30 days before her program and she was told it was too late to sign up and she would be assigned a roommate when she arrives.

 

[QueenofPrideRock]

Do CMs get a discount on the Dine with an Imagineer experience?

 

[adorkable8605]

What is the link to the Facebook group for Fall/Fall Advantage 2010? I can't find it on facebook.

 

[AliSW]

Oh I'm arriving in August, the time matching will take place is June 1st. I thought that meant you had to sign up before then but I guess that's when they start? Ok thanks!
