College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

This is my first post. I just did my phone interview and I feel that I did good. I am sure most people feel that way though!! I have a couple questions. I checked vacation planner, concierge, attractions, and Merchandise (preferences in that order). During the interview my interview lady asked me a lot of questions about what I expect a VP or Concierge would do for daily tasks. She also asked me how I would handle difficult customers with an example of how I might have done so in the past. She also asked me about my ability to perform a role if I was in attractions which I replied that I loved to act in community theater and that was why I checked attractions. Finally she asked me about how I would feel living in the apartments and I told her I live about 40 minutes from WDW so I planned to utilize the apartment when my schedule was hectic but would most likely return to my home if I had long enough breaks between shifts or days off. I am also extremely sick with bronchitus and laryngitus!!! (set in about 2 hours before the interview was to start). Lucky for me I drank a ton of hot tea, ate a few teaspoons of honey (don't laugh it works), and a ton of over the counter cough meds. I apologized to her at the start and said since it was a phone interview and she couldn't catch anything I saw no need to reschedule since when it comes to work if I can do the job without negatively effecting others I will do it. (ok yes I wanted brownie points). So my questions are: Is VP a hard CP to get? For that matter are all the roles I requested hard to get? Did I limit myself by only picking four? Does it sound like her questions indicated interest? Man I am such obsess-or!!! Thanks all :love:
 
Your questions sounded a lot like the ones I got, with emphasis on different roles. I got a lot of emphasis on MEO (which is what I got) and Hospitality (my major). The types of questions sounded just like that I had, and I had the one about living in the apartments as well.

Good luck! The hard part is coming - the wating for the purple. Feel better!!
 
It took me over 4 weeks, but I was an anomaly it seems.

And here is the link:


:3 Many thanks!

Wow, over four weeks? XD I hope that doesn't happen to me. I heard that some people got emails and then had to call before they found out they were accepted.

Anywho, thanks again Zero~
 
hey, i applied for the fall program yesterday afternoon (i know, its kinda late. lol)
and i was wondering how long it takes to get any type of confirmation that they got my application or something.
 

Well after you submit the application then you have to do the web based interview. You will find out immediately if you can make a phone interview. If you can you call and schedule. After you have that it can take anywhere from a few days to 6 weeks to find out if you have been accepted. Hope this helps.

That appears to be the case - eyeliner has to go only on the edge of the eye, not above - the only thing that can go above is neutral eyeshadow, it sounds like.

From the website:
If eyeliner and eye shadow are worn, they should be neutral colors that are close in value to your skin tone. Eye shadow and eyeliner should create a natural, blended look and should not extend beyond the natural eye area or the corners of the eye. Mascara may be applied lightly in shades of brown or black.
 
I have a silly question. How strict are they about makeup? I read the makeup requirements for the "disney" look, but what qualifies as appropriete? I know i'm going to have to downplay my regular makeup usage considerably. My eye makeup usually looks similar to this http://www.bulletmag.net/columns/aboutface/images/kayla04.jpg Am I going to have to nix the upper black liner?

If you worked where I worked, that would definitely be too much.

My suggestion would be to take it on the easy side (mascara and eye shadow) your first couple days on the job and see how other people wear their makeup and you can see what they will let you wear. I was able to wear black eyeliner on the my top eye lids without an issue--just not that much.
 
Disney definitely frowns upon heavy makeup. They state numerous times that they want a natural look. Makeup, while very pretty if applied correctly, is definitely not natural. I personally know someone who has acne scars very badly and they were applying for a seasonal CM position. They had a habit of caking on foundation in an attempt to hide the scars. During the interview they were told that they would not be allow so much makeup and that Disney wants you to look as close to natural as possible. The interviewer even said 'Thats the Disney way' as a quote when discussing it. Think of it as a costume and just put very little on. You will be living at Disney!!1 You can go home and paint yourself up however you want and have fun off the clock :)
 
thanks, guys. It's kind of what I figured but it was worth it to ask. I will have to get used to looking like a 5 year old!

Mine is Friday also!:cool1:

But for the most part I've heard not to say "uh" "um" and smile while you talk on the phone because it makes you sound up beat and excited. That's all I got.:lmao:
