Advantage!!! how bout u

I am doing the Fall program, I decided I wanted to do the FA too late...oh well, I get to go, and that is the important thing!

Don't worry, I am sure you will get it soon. And when you do, the wait will have been well worth it!

Exactly!!

What's going on with the FA applicants, has anyone recently been accepted to the FA program??? Maybe their back-up (assuming) This wait is a killer, been almost 3 weeks!!! Guess I go study for a mid-term!!!!

I just applied for the College Program (I'm going to go for Fall Advantage). I still have to schedule my telephone interview (I'm calling tomorrow), but I am excited. I am also going for a PI.

I'm trying to figure out which roles I want for the CP. I think I want Attractions, Merchandise, and I am trying to pick between Hospitality or Character Attendant. I can't decide! Do I have to choose three?

Aww, I hope you do get your PI. I know how much you want it.

As for roles, you can pick as many/little as you want. I do recommend Character Attendant though. It's so much fun!

lamagique, What PI did you apply for?

 

[SweaterInJune]

Good luck with the PI!

I wanted to the Imagineering and Guest Relations PIs soooo badly, but I was already graduated, so it was pretty much a no go :-( I guess I'll have to work from the ground up...which isn't bad in regards to GR, but for Imagineering...yikes! ...We'll see what happens!

 

[Joanna71985]

I would love to do a PI. But unfortunately I won't have a car with me. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to "make do" with another CP.

I have to buy a car when I get stateside again...as mine was sold because it couldn't sit, undriven, in the Chicago area for a year. With what, I don't know--I also need to secure an apartment...eek. If I could work for a month or so without a car, I'd be fine, but I really don't know I'm going to pull that off!

Completely unrelated to this thread, but if you don't mind me asking, are you in Germany for work or studying abroad or something like that?

No, I don't mind you asking at all. I am actually working just south of Munich as an au pair (nanny of sorts) for a year. I'm also a semi-professional magician, so I came to Germany to work on new material with some of the great minds here that I have admired from afar for many years. My friends have been making jokes about "Mary Poppins--the magical nanny" haha...

Anyhow, I am taking German courses, though, so hopefully, I'll master the language before I come back. After my CP finished, and the need to start paying back my loans arose, I didn't know what I should do. I went home again for a few months and decided I just needed to get away, figure myself out, and decide what I wanted out of life. I had always wanted to live in Europe, so I'm here...it's lovely...I'll miss it, but I know that I want to go back to FL and Disney... I'm still going to do magic, and probably get my teaching license, but Disney is definitely supposed to be a part of my life!

How did you get the au pair job? That sounds like a good experience!

How did you get the au pair job? That sounds like a good experience!

It's great... I found my host-family through GreatAuPair.com, or rather they found me. One member of the party has to pay a membership fee to access contact info on the site, but you can view all profiles and add everyone that interests you to your hotlist. I didn't pay because I figured if the searching family were too cheap to pay a membership fee then I didn't want to be with them. People in our peer group are seldom with a surplus of money, so what can they expect?!

Anyhow, after a week or so this family, among MANY, began contacting me. I wasn't really interested at first--they don't live where I wanted to be and they had 2 boys, plus one is a baby. But, they kept emailing and told me that the elder son loves Disney and magic...he had seen some of my photos from my CP and decided that I was the one he wanted. We wrote back and forth and talked on the phone a few times before we made any decisions. They won They are the best family I could imagine getting for this! I feel very fortunate for the opportunity...

If you have any more questions about this, feel free to pm/email me.

And now, back to the regularly scheduled Fall 2008 CP thread...

[disneykaitie26]

Can anyone tell me the dates they let you pick from as I am awaiting my letter from CareerStart. Thanks

 

[spectroaddy]

Hopefully, my acceptance will come soon!!!! Getting kind of worried, I think it is past my 3 weeks point, is at 3 weeks after the interview or receiving paperwork. I didn't mail my paperwork to a week later.
