Fall 2007 College Program

[caseface297]

Hey everyone!

I'm new to the boards... graduating senior applying for Fall Advantage. I've been waiting for this for about 4 years now!

I'm kinda bummed because I went to another campus for the presentation today, even though I've watched the e-presentation about 70 times, because I wanted an in-person interview rather than a phone interview. But after the presentation ended this afternoon, they just announced that everyone would be signing up for phone interviews.

So mine is tomorrow... ick. I could have done it weeks ago! Has this happened to anyone else?

Anyone else having problems accepting their invitations? I get a "Please login to the SAP System" message.

They are updating the website so no one can log on right now. Give it a day or so.

Welcome caseface!

The campus presentations don't guarantee an in person interview, so that's not out of the ordinary for them to just up and inform you only phone interviews will be done.

I'm more a face to face person as well but honestly, I was a little glad to have done my interview over the phone where all they have to go on is your voice and answers.

When do you plan on interviewing?

I've been to the on campus presentations twice before to get a feel for the program, but couldnt sign up yet becuase of housing leases, etc. The first time they were only signing ppl up for phone interviews, the second they were doing both phone and personal, so I think it depends on how much time they have or something..

I watched the e-presentation yesterday, same as the on campus one last fall. I was trying to apply but it gave me the "log in with sap" thing too. I emailed tech support, they said they had an emergency shut down thats taking a long time to fix. Still down today as of now. They will email me when its back up or I can keep trying. So dont worry about it. I was worried I'd have to go on campus to apply..

I waiting to apply and schedule my phone interview. I was going to wait to do the in person, but its not till April, and I want to get accepted asap.

I'm going to apply for role hopper, so QSFB, full service restarurant, operations, merch, etc. Any of those would be cool with me. I think the hopper would be cool too so I could experience more than one job.

Caseface, I am a graduating senior as well. I was wondering, what are you doing about insurance, loans, and stuff like that? That's my only concern about doing the program!

 

[Azure Kaito]

Alrighty,

More waiting then till I can accept my invite.

Anyone know of any place that a lot of Gay Cast Members hang out?

 

[caseface297]

Oh well. I really primarily wanted to interview in person because I'm aiming for character attendant, and I feel like that's a role that they'd get a better picture of face-to-face...but I'm still excited for tomorrow afternoon!

I'm actually pretty lucky- my parents are going to help me buy Cobra for a year. And as for loans, I went to college in-state on scholarship, so I didn't take out any. Even if I had though, I think I'd still be doing the CP....I'm just trying to think of it as a break-even period of time.

I was a character attendant, and I did the online presentation. So I don't think that matters.

99% of the interviews are done over the phone now. After the school presentation, the recruiter will collect your stuff and then schedule you for a telephone interview.

If you llook at the info on the official site regarding interview tips, everything is referencing telephone interviews.

I think they have been doing phone interviews ever since Fall 2005.

If you all didn't notice, the acceptance system is online and working again for those of you who already got your letters but I think there is still a problem with the Roommate system, I can't login.

 

[dizlover21]

Yes, Its back up so I just finished my application and called in for my phone interview. I'm schedule for Friday morning at 10:30 with Linda!! I'm a little nervous, but so exited! I usually sleep in on Fridays since I dont have school those days, so I'll have to get up early so I dont sound tired. lol Hopefully I'll find out something before my spring break which is the last week of the month. And more importantley have something to tell the fam when they beat me for an update at where am I going with my life at Easter Dinner at grandma's lol!!

 

[Azure Kaito]

Hey anyone know if Disney supplies our shirt and pants for the work place or no? I am just so confused by their guides. They make no sense. Anyone help?

Yeah, I went and finally confirmed my date (May 23) and everything. I'm having the same problem with that roommate selection thing though. I assumed it was because they need a day or two for my payment to go through but I don't know.

As for that question I saw about the work clothes, I believe I read somewhere that they provide you your 'costume' up to five per month (or week) that you can have cleaned and stuff like that. I could be wrong though.

 

[Azure Kaito]

Alright, I don't think it is the payment thing. I have made my payment via Credit Card and immediately received a receipt. It is telling me that I can't be selected for my roommate at the moment because it is not 2 to 4 weeks before the start date...

ZOMG 76 days 5 hours 57 minutes and 56 seconds till Disney!

EDIT:

Any alumni have an old paycheck stub that they could scan and upload? I just want to see exactly what it tells you so I can prepare an excel sheet. If you could that would be great, *bleeping personal stuff is good*. Thanks!

Yeah- you accepted, right?
There is info about your costume in the log in area.

Yes, the costume for work is provided.
