Disney Career Start Program

[pocopenguin]

i feel like i read somewhere that someone said the CP was full for fall advantage..... but there were still some spots left for fall, which would be good considering there is no fall advantage for CS.
but, the truth in that could be very little.
whoooo knows.
just makes the waiting much harder

Hello! First post on the boards!

Anyway. Just to let you all know, I just now found out that Disney had this these programs for students like last week. What a great opportunity they are!!! Since one the site they were still "currently accepting" for the Fall 08' session I got excited and went ahead got my application filled out, got a great letter of recommendation letter from on of my HS teachers and sent it all in today.

I know there is a big possibility of the program being full. I'm just excited to have this opportunity in front of me! I hope they still will call for an interview, if nothing else, I wouldn't mind going for the Spring 09'. If I get in this upcoming fall, I hope to get into attractions, working with a live show would be a bonus since I will be majoring in Theatre.

Heres to hoping for the best!

hi, welcome to the boards and the waiting game

i hopefully will be taking the trip down there for fall 2008, too! good luck to you!!!!!

 

[JaimeRay]

Thanks! I'm reading Chris's blog, makes me excited reading about the process and jobs, weather they are ones I want or don't, they still sound fun and it's Disney... can't go wrong with that!

When I was at Disneyland last when I was ten, I didn't say "Want to come here every year for vacation" I said to my mom "I want to work here!" So to work with them would be accomplishing a childhood dream, as it is for many! If I had to clean toilets, I would listen to Snow White's advice and whistle!

Good luck to you Poco!

hey can someone tell me how long it took for disney to contact them to schedule an interview?

 

[JaimeRay]

I've read on here anywhere from 3 days to 2 or 3 weeks.

 

[pocopenguin]

hey can someone tell me how long it took for disney to contact them to schedule an interview?

i applied two weeks ago tomorrow.
and i'm still waiting.
i called last week just as a....general information caller.. like i didn't give my name or anything and just said i applied and asked if i could schedule my interview over the phone and they said no, i have to wait for an email

it's been a very long two weeks. haha. luckily i have internet on my phone so i am checking my e-mail constantly. it's become a little.. ritual for me. haha. but if i dont hear anything back by friday i might call just to make sure they received everything okay, you know? they don't have to schedule one right then and there, i just atleast want to know they received it so i haven't been waiting two weeks for nothing..... idk.

hey can someone tell me how long it took for disney to contact them to schedule an interview?

it took them almost 3 weeks to contact me. i actually contacted them and gave them my name to make sure that they recieved my information about a week and a half after i applied. they checked and assured me that they recieved the application and told me just to wait to hear from them.

 

[JaimeRay]

Haha, I might be out of luck to get in this fall! My fingers are crossed though! I wouldn't mind waiting till Spring.

That's ok. There is always Spring.... Do you think they'll be sending emails to those who have applied and not had an interview. If I have to re-apply I'm going to use the same letter of recommendation because it was good.

 

[JaimeRay]

Yup, they have indeed stopped accepting applications/interviews. Well I'm more prepared for the Spring!!!

 

[Whatalias]

I emailed them asking if they received my application and I got an email saying Dear Jaime.. and it was the same message about they are done recruiting.

They have Spring and Spring Advantage Sessions.

I got accepted in the Fall 2008 CareerStart program at Disneyland.

Is anyone else doing this same?

 

[JaimeRay]

I would do Disneyland if they offered housing.
