College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[The Jet Rodriguez89]

It has more to do with Disney wanting to make sure that you actually have insurance. If your name is not listed on your insurance card, all you need to do is get your insurance company to print out the complete policy so that it shows you are listed as a covered person on the policy and bring this with you to FL. If you forget it, you can always get it faxed there but it's just easier to have it with you when you on check in day.

on the question of insurance, do we have to change our insurance to florida?? or do we just bring the one we have now?

You just use your own.

can you ask ur recruiter to have you placed in an area where you think you would be best suited? cuz I have to send in my medical paperwork about my asthma and working outside and blah. could the recruiters put in, if i send the paperwork, that i should work inside? just a curious question.

 

[Goofster18]

From what I have read, if you have a medical condition then they will comply with those needs and make sure that you are placed wherever you can do your job as well as be safe and not have a medical problem. However, it can't hurt to e-mail your recruiter so they are aware of this, just explain the problem and that you have filled out the medical forms and all. This would also be the time to throw in a specific place you might like to work, if you have one. Not a guarantee, but they would have an idea of what you might like to do or be placed. but e-mailing is definitely a good idea in my opinion, save you any hassle that may come up in your first few days if you don't do it now. My 2 cents.
Have a Magical Day!!!

Hi everyone! I have my interview at 1:20....which is really really soon and I'm super nervous! Any advice for me?

I'm concerned because I am applying and interviewing really late...Should I be? Or do I stand a fair chance? This is really a last minute thing! I hadn't even considered the college program until I was talking to my adviser about my future plans last week

Thanks for any and all help!

Katie,
The most important thing you can do in your interview is show your love for Disney and how excited you are about the possible opportunity of working for Disney. The interviewer wants to see and hear and feel this more than anything. Also smile! Yes, it's a phone interview but you can tell this through the phone! Don't be nervous! The interviewers are all very nice and be conversational with them rather than trying to be super professional. Answer the questions honestly and you'll be fine. Also, about applying a little late, the more roles you can be open to, the more likely you will be accepted because some roles have filled up at this point. If you're more open to attractions, merchandise, quick service food, and custodial.. these are the roles with the most spots I believe. Good Luck!!

I feel the same way you do. I had my interview on the first of April, and thought it was really late to apply. I was really nervous because it was my first interview. I did good for the most part. Definitely smiled and let them know how much I wanted this. I'm still waiting to hear from Disney. I really hope I get accepted.

Katie,
how'd it go? I'm sure you did fine but I just was wondering, I'm assuming it wasn't as bad as you at first thought!! Good Luck!!

How did it go??

Does anyone know what banks are used by CP students that do not bring a car? Does anyone know of any banks on the Disney bus route? Thank you.

 

[christiemarsh88]

The Partners Federal Credit Union is the official bank for Cast Members. They have ATMs backstage, and in the apartment complexes. I don't know about any banks on the bus route, but you can sign up for direct deposit.

 

[ptc]

My daughter uses her bank account from home (suburban Chicago). We set up direct deposit the day she checked in, so she has access to her money every Thursday (payday!) She can use her debit card to buy groceries and to get cash back, so she doesn't have to pay ATM service charges.

How long does it take for recruiters to answer your emails? I emailed my recruiter yesterday and have not heard back from her. I called her (Christy) today and she didn't answer.

It seems like everyone is getting accepted these past couple of days, and I hate waiting. I'm so anxious!

 

[MickeyGurl]

Yeah, that makes sense, lol. Thanks for answering. I just want to hear something soon so I can stop checking my email non-stop and almost attacking the mailman.

They usually stop recruiting for the Fall programs in late April/early May, and the Spring programs in Dec.

I'm not a professional or anything, but I do enjoy rock climbing a lot. What places are there to climb at or around disney? Is there anyone who would like to climb with me?
