College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[piratechick]

I'm sorry if this has been answered but I do not have time to scan through 202 pages haha.

I am currently doing the college program Spring Advantage 2011, amd I am dying to switch roles. I'm lifeguarding, i didn't even apply for lifeguarding on my application but I was so desperate to come down I figured I'd give it a shot when the recruiter sort of bullied me into it. Anyway I'm miserable. How do I go about switching roles? I know it's really difficult so you don't need to launch in to a spiel about that, I just want to know who I go to, or where I go to, what paperwork I would need to fill out and where I would get that paperwork.

Thanks!

You have to talk to your managers. Its sometimes really difficult to get a transfer, but if you have amazing managers and can explain your situation to them, they might be able to help you. It's the manager's decision if you get a transfer or not. Good luck with getting that transfer!

I have a question that has to do with the Cultural Rep Program.
I'd like to begin in the summer of next year, around May 2012 since I graduate in April. Will they allow me to do this? In other words, when is the program supposed to start?
Thanks!

Two wierd questions:

If you're doing a face character, do they expect you to have perfect teeth? I can whiten them but braces are WAY out of my family's (and my eventual) budget.

Also, dcljobs.com had a vague mention of the CP on it. Can you do your CP on the cruise ships?

Thanks!

1. I'm not positive, but I'm sure it would have to be very close

2. No. The CP does not work on the cruise ships

I can finally retake the WBI on Thursday and I'm freaking out.

 

[kenziekinz09]

I'm taking mine soon also, so I empathize.

 

[kenziekinz09]

OK, random but important question. Has anyone here taken the WBI in safari running as IE?? My mother's dell decided to die (as in, battery dead and won't charge) right when I got to the interview questions. So I pretty much have to use my mac

I'm panicking right now in case you couldn't tell

From what I have heard from a Recruiter is that the only system specific requirements is that you need IE for the application itself. The WBI can be taken on any system including Macs.

Yes you need good teeth. Unless it's a character that doesn't need a perfect smile. Also, if you have strong features for a character and they are in need I noticed certain traits get overlooked. As long as they arent noticeable when you smile you should be ok. Think princess and fairies and Mary Poppins. You smile constantly. I've seen some stepsisters and Alices with less than perfect straight teeth but most were white. I did costuming.

Hi everyone! My phone interview is tomorrow! I've been reading through this thread, but are there any specific questions I should prepare myself for? I'd really appreciate any tips. Thank you!

 

[r1009t]

I did costuming.

Did you enjoy that role? Were the hours really hard? I'm very curious to learn more about it, but you don't really hear about to many people getting accepted into it for the cp. Was it disappointing not to have any guest interaction? Thanks

I'm so upset, I was so excited about the college program and I just did my web interview and I didn't even pass. I have no idea why, I really was honest in all my answers. I wanted this so bad, and now I'm so upset :-(

Aww I'm so sorry!! That happened to me when I applied for spring. I'm retaking it today(my application finally reopened!) and I'm so nervous. Are you going to try again for next spring?

Hello Everyone!

I'm brand new to forums and to the college program. Well, I hope I will be at least; I have my phone interview an hour from now!!

I know that you shouldn't ask about time off or pay scale or any of that, but I've been wondering if I should start looking for a foster home for my cat? Are there pet-friendly apartments?

Thanks so much, and wish me luck!

Good luck! From what I understand you can't bring pets unless you get your own apartment (non-Disney).

I'm sorry! The same thing happened to my brother. I figured it was just because he was a freshman. I don't know what your circumstances are, but Good Luck next semester!

my mom wants to come down with me to help me move in and I was looking into hotel rooms for her at pop century but there are kinda expensive ($129 per night) she wants to stay from 08/07/2011 to 08/10/2011. I know I wouldn't be able to use my discount yet but does anyone know if there is some discount I could get for her or a cheaper hotel very close by or something that would make less expensive for her? Thanks!

SMILE!!! Relax, it's really not that bad. Make sure you think about all the roles you selected, I was asked questions about all of them not just my top 3. I also had a water bottle with me so I could take a drink to calm myself down if I needed to.
