As they state on the site, they will post the specific dates, times, and locations when they are finalized. They have also included this information in their email newsletters in the past. I also believe that they email this directly to those who have already interviewed and said they wanted to audition in their interview (I'm not 100% on this last one, but it would make sense).

How often do they email newsletters??? Do you have any idea???

Hi everyone!

I'm a loooooong time DIS lurker, but I just got off the phone with a my interviewer and thought it was about time I post!

I was much more nervous than I expected to be, but over all I think that it went well...except for a couple of technical malfunctions. There was such bad static on the line when she first called that she actually had to hang up and call back. I know it wasn't my phone because I tried three! But of course she said she could barely hear it. Then my boyfriend, who is interviewing tomorrow, forgot my time and called me to wish me luck, setting of my call waiting right in the middle of a question that I had to have her repeat....twice! UGH!

Anyway, after that it was smooth sailing. I answered most of the questions ok.
For my roles I gave her 8 I was interested in: hospitality, BBB hostess, Vacation Planner, FSFB, Merchandise, Transport, Attractions, and Character Attendent.

She started by asking if since she saw on my app that I'm a waitress if I would be interested in QSFB? I said no, and that in a food role I'd prefer full service locations.

She then told me they prefer students with hospitality experience and advantage applicants for Hospitality. I knew that from here though so I wasn't surprised. lol.

She asked me if I had experience doing hair on make up on children. I told her only in babysitting did I have that experience with children specifically , but that in high school I did musicals and cheerleading which involved doing a lot of hair and makeup. I also mentioned I did almost all my friends' makeup for prom. Lol. She seemed kind of receptive to all of that, but it's so hard to tell on the phone!

She asked me about multitasking (I think this was for FSFB ). I just talked about working as a waitress, handling lots of tables at a time. We didn't spend too much time here, which kind of surprised me because I have about 5 years hostess/waitress experience.

And then she asked me the out of stock item question for merchandising. I said something a long the lines of suggesting another store, calling other stores/parks, and giving them the Disney merchandising number so they could call and order it.

That's about it. Or what I can remember at least. I feel pretty good. The only major mistake I think I made was when she asked me "Why I was interested in the DCP" I didn't say BECAUSE I LOVE DISNEY!!!! haha. I was in such interview, professional mode, that I just rambled about career goals and taking my customer service skills to the next level. haha. oh well. It's done now, and now I just get to try to focus on regular life for the next 3-4 weeks while I wait for some news.

Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences before me. It helped me so much in preparing for my interview. Hope my experience can help someone too!

Disney wants to hear that students also want to start a career from them, not just you love disney! It's a good thing you said that honestly, don't worry!

You have to interview before you send in your role checklist... so you're good! You should be able to schedule your interview at the presentation.

Figment! Be sure to tell me how yours went! (oh btw I think I did well, in case anyone wanted to know ha ha)

The roles you're applying for were the exact same roles I applied for, except for Recreation. I got Merchandise

haha, love your screenname!
Do you think you can only get BBBH if you have had previous Salon experience?
I think merch is my second choice, even though I have no experience with it!

LOL, love your screen name too

As for salon experience with BBB...that's a good question. I know some CPs who have worked there had experience in a salon, and some didn't but still got the job - however, I've worked for awhile in retail, which is probably why I got Merchandise (which was fine for me). So I really couldn't say whether or not it's a necessity to have worked in a salon, but when you're interviewing, just be really enthusiastic about how much you want the job - hopefully that'll help!

 

[figment427]

I just got off the phone! I had the basic questions for Attractions, Merchandise, and Character Attendant. (those were my top 3) I also put down photopass and main entrance but she didn't ask anything about those. Hopefully it went well

Good Luck to everyone else
