Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Interview Thread!

[Amanda08]

It sounds like you did great!!! Especially with a long fun conversation at the end... I think a chit chat with your interviewer is a very good sign!

Good luck to all my fellow Monday interviewees!!!
T-minus 10 hours and counting for me...

Thanks so much!!

Good luck to you!

I couldn't sleep at all last night and today my stomach is all in knots. I'm at the point now where I just want to get it over with!!

I felt that way too! I woke up around 06:00 and thought "Why did I set my interview for 09:30? I can't sleep at all!".

I'm sure you will do great! It's a huge relief to have it be done with.
...now I don't know which is worse: waiting for the interview, or waiting for the verdict.

 

[Amanda08]

Thank you!

I was the same way. lol That's why I made sure to make my interview for the morning, so that I didn't have to wait all day. haha
My suggestion would be to find something to distract yourself with until a little bit before your interview. Then prepare a little if you want, to get ready. That's pretty much what I did.
Try not to worry though. I'm sure you'll do great....it's really not as bad as you'd think!

Oh, to distract yourself you might want to watch the e-presentation again. You could jot down little things you hear in there that you might be able to use in your interview.

My nerves are crashing down on me. My interview is in less than an hour and a half. I decided to wait to do notes till now so that I could distract myself until the interview. There is so much I want to say ad I know I can't remember it all. Last time I did my interview I was so nervous I know she could tell. Also I know not to say like and umm so much but it always happens. Well time to do notes

Don't be nervous! You'll do great! I had my interview this morning, and I was the same as far as having alot I wanted to say, and being afraid I would forget it. But I think when she asks you the questions, if you're prepared, the things you want to say just come to you, almost without having to think about it. So, no worries!
Good luck!

Alright my interview is finally over! It took 15min 38 sec. and I think it went well. First they did all of the general questions. However she didn't ask me any of the situation questions but it seems like no one is getting those right now. I feel better now then I did last time. I can't even remember what happened but I feel good! We will see.(I think I am going to go crazy waiting)

My interview's in six minutes and I'm soooo nervous that I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Don't be nervous! Take a couple deep breaths and just be yourself!

Thanks! I'm trying, but now the interviewer is 30 minutes late and I'm not sure what that means. :| im really worried.

 

[QueenofPrideRock]

Just got off the phone! Sometimes she was hard to hear but nothing terrible, just because I was on a cell phone. I think her name was Danielle? That was one of the hard to hear parts, sadly.

I think it went pretty well... now comes the hard part, waiting for the purple folder!

hey sooo im really worried. i already had my interview and soo did my gf. we both go to the same school. and when we applied we assumed there was only one mission college in ca soo we picked that one. during our interviews linda asked if i was in school and i said no i dont start till feb 2nd. and she said techincally she wasnt suppose to do an interview if im not in school but since i start in a week she said she would do it anways.(be in mind im a freshman in college and so is my gf), so then she would say that shes guna call my school to verify that i was enrolled. so here is the point of my long story i looked up on google mission college ca and i found out theres 2 soo now i dont know if the mission college that disney has is the one i go to. so is there anyway we can talk to someone about that and explain that its xmas break still and that the mission we go to is not the other one. if you can understand what i wrote and can help me thanku if not i understand,
thanks

Kyle, have you started school yet? As in - are you a second semester freshman (meaning you started your freshman year in September or August of 2009) or is this your first semester?

As I explained before, if you are a second semester freshman, that is fine. And even if you're a first semester freshman, that is also fine. You just can't do the CP as your first semester of college, but since you'd be doing Fall, that is not an issue.

If you saved the print-out of your application, then check to see what school you put down. Otherwise, email wdw.college.recruiting@disney.com and explain the issue to them. Give them the phone number or address of your school so they can get in touch with them if necessary. Tell them what semester you are in school. I am fairly certain you are fine.

Since you're at the end of the day, it's possible that they got delayed over the day, and now you have to deal with the lateness, which is a pain - did they call you? I hope so! If not, email Disney. Or call the hotline tomorrow.

 

[heyhowdyhey]

im a second semester. well i called and they said i was fine. but my gf called and i guess the lady wasnt too helpful. should she just email them. and she wanted me to ask cuz her sister has her interview tomorrow too and we all go to the same school would it be bad if he sister said something about the school to whoever the interviewer is about her and my gf like at the end of the interview or no.

Referring back to my post from earlier, I'm wondering if I should wait (like about a week) for them to call me back since I left a message, or if I should just call them during their business hours? In other words, how likely is it they'll call back/check their voicemail?

 

[igetamnesia]

Oh no! Did they ever call?!?!

Yeah, they called a half hour after they were supposed to! Ahh! But I think it went well.
