CP resume question!!

[Dis-Wiz]

Hi, I'm planning on applying for the Spring '10 program this summer, and was wondering...

Has anybody been accepted into the CP who hasn't had a job before? I've been lucky enough to not have had to work yet (my parent's help me out with college, along with the scholarships and such), and I was wondering if my chances for getting into the CP are smaller because of my lack of work experience. I did work at an art camp last summer, but only for a week.
Throughout high school, I did a lot of volunteering, but nothing I got paid for.
And I am going to apply for jobs this summer, but it's extremely difficult to get a job around where I live.

I get good grades, I'm involved on my campus, I just don't have much work experience. I'm just so worried that I won't get in. Doing the CP means everything to me!

So if any of you could help me with this, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks!

To my knowledge...I don't think it matters...I applied for the Internship for Fall Advantage. My interviewer asked me if I had experience using a cash register or customer service (since I applied for Merchandising and Hospitality) and I told her that I volunteered for my local library for four years. She asked me what I did throughout those four years, but that was just about it. At the end, she asked me if working at Disney would be considered my first real job, and I said yes. I got a letter about a week after the interview, stating that I'm a strong candidate for the Fall Advantage 2009 Program. What I'm trying to say is...I think as long as you have experience (volunteer or not) that you should be good.

When I did my first CP (in 2005), it was my first job. I had never worked before then.
