College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[Cndrsgrl]

Heya
This is my first time on disboards. A shout-out to mom for letting me borrow her account.
I'm really interested in becoming a Personal Trainer for a Disney Cruise line. Can the college program help me do this? Anyone have any helpful information on how I could go about perusing this as a career?

Thanks!

Yes, talk to the college program recruiters and they will put you in touch with people you can shadow or talk to about your interest. Chances are that you will have to start in the resorts and then move over to the Cruise Line, but they are great resources for you and since you have a project to earn your degrees at Disney University, that will cover a requirement. Good Luck! The College Program is great for anyone - even those not interested in staying in the industry. Disney looks fantastic on a resume!!

Awesome ^__^" Thank you so much for your help

Huh. This year I've heard of both 6/7 and I think 6/9 as possible arrival dates... 6/14 is quarter only though.

Yeah, my arrival date for Fall Advantage is 6/7, but that was the latest date that was available.

Check out dcljobs.com - I could be wrong, but it looks like Personal Trainers are through a third party company - however, they have the link to the company they hire from, so check that out!

One of my next fears is getting a pending letter! I'd almost rather be rejected lol. I was wondering...do many people get accepted who apply/do their telephone interview this late?

Anyoneeee?

I've looked at the application and when you do the role checklist it lets you check off as many as you're interested in. At what point do you pick your top 3? People always are asked about those in their phone interviews.

 

[ZeroToHero]

You pick your top 3 in your phone interview.. so really, decide on them beforehand, and then you inform Disney of them in the phone interview.

Thank you. I already know my top 3. lmao.

Hahaha - hey, that's good though!

I only got to pick a top 2...but I got in my number one...it was kinda wierd.

I was offered CP and wondered if you have to live in Disney Housing? I am 35 and have NO interest in sharing a room with anyone else.

Yep - Personal Trainers are 3rd Party. Disney Parks hires trainers through Select Medical. Disney Cruise Lines hires trainers through Florida Hospital.

You can request to be exempt, but you have to have housing lined up prior to requesting it, as well as show reliable transportation.

I'm 31 and just found 1 roommate (we're doing a 1 BR) so things should be quiet on the homefront

Question:

When does the presentation go offline for the Fall Program?

Question:

I'm assuming you mean when do applications close? Friday, April 23rd.

 

[newdrama12]

I believe that it is the end of the month. I think is what my recruiter said last week.

Thanks! Yeah, that's what I meant

I know this is kind of a random question but I was wondering what is the most time a person has applied until they got in? Because I have gotten pending and rejected my first time and then pending again so I think pretty much rejected again. So I was just wondering for those who didn't get in their first time how many times did you try?

 

[ZeroToHero]

3 times before I got in. When did you apply?
