Disney Career Start Program

[zanabelle]

DISNEY!! lol that would be a dream job!!

What about you?

Well if that is your dream job, then go for it! You've already taken this step! A dream is a wish your heart makes, right?

I hope to get my TEFL- Teaching English as a Foreign Language- certificate this summer(or after CS, if I get in) and travel from orphanage to orphanage teaching kids English and how to play the piano lol. I'm not looking for much! Just a building full of kids who appreciate learning and a hammock/room somewhere!

Thank you for the welcome! You guys are like already friends on here!! I am so afraid that I'm too late. I applied March 5th...

I just called actually and the woman said it typically takes 2-3 weeks, so it could be another week more.... I dunno if that was supposed to make me more or less nervous

I really hope I get this with you guys! I was looking at some of your previous posts and you guys look like great people!!!

Hi and Welcome to the boards. If you applied March 5th you should be fine. But I'm not sure why you haven't gotten it yet...maybe I was one of the lucky ones to get it the next day?

I really hope you (and I) get in too and you're right we're already building friendships here we would love to have another on board!

Also dream job just somewhere in Disney I would like to be an accountant or be in the Marketing Department but I would do anything at Disney.

You are definitely one of the lucky ones!! Congratulations on your interviews thus far! I take it you like math, since you said accounting??
If it was up to me, you could definitely have any of those jobs! Thank you for the welcome!

Actually you might be shocked at how much I dislike math. But I like business and competing so math is inevitable if I go into a business profession. Thanks for the congrats I'm sure you'll do great when it's your turn also!

So I've read some previous posts of what people were asked, but for you personally what did they ask you on the phone? I hope I don't say "um" and "uh" and "like" a lot...lol

I said um a few times it's not a big deal as long as you're sentence isn't "I like want to work at Disney cause like I like love everything about Disney and I um want to like meet new people."

The pretty much just asked me
Why do you want to work for Disney?
Have you ever had to deal with an annoyed customer?
How did you handle the situation?
What in your mind is team work?

She also asked about my preferences but she said what are my top 2 and why. I said Merch and QSFB because those are the 2 I have the most experience with in my town.

Just same basic interview questions anywhere would ask really.
