Thanks a lot!! I'm really excited, but there's a lot of information I still don't know. My recruiter told me that I won't know specific job duties or hours for working in the Disney Learning Center until I arrive.
The first day is June 20th, and that's kind of a check-in day to get you moved in and set up with everything on the job.
So far the all correspondence has been in person (at my interview) and over the phone, but I was told that most correspondence from this point forward would be via email.
After I officially accepted the offer, I had to fill out a form over the internet, and I checked there that I would be interested in living in the Northbridge Apartments. I was told that there is a limited number of apartments for PIs, and if more people sign up than there are apartments available, then they have a drawing at random. If you are not selected, you are responsible for finding your own housing. In that case, there are Disney people that help you with that. And you should know by early May whether or not you'll be in NB.
The NB arrangements are 4 people per 2 bedroom apt and 5 people per 3 bedroom, so you do have to share a room with someone...
I've heard that PI wages vary from job to job, but I'll be making $9.95 per hour with 30 hours guaranteed per week. But the hours vary depending where you work and the specific job you have. Oh, and rent at NB is $131 per week- even though the PI website says $129...
The last day of the program is January 2, 2009. That's all I can think of right now...
I hope that helps someone... but I think others have said pretty much the same stuff on various threads.
I can't wait for everyone to get their phone calls-- LET US KNOW!!!!
Thank you!!
I have no clue if they are the same... Anyone else know???
I was given the name and phone number of my supervisor, but I don't wanna be "that girl" who has to call to find out where her job is. My recruiter said he'd be in touch again soon- I'll let you know more info as I receive it!!
I was just wondering when you were given the contact info for your supervisor. I just got my email from my recruiter this morning to finalize the offer, but the only info in his email was about housing, basic cast member perks, and final steps for accepting the offer. Did you get more info about your specific position after the initial acceptance process? Thanks!
And congrats by the way!
LoL! I know exactly how you feel! I was given the name of someone and told that I was going to hear from her a lot. But I wasn't told who she was or any other details. I looked her up on the Hub hoping I would find out where I was going to be working, but she is just the leadership training coordinator, so I still don't know! I have her info and I'm dying to call her! So far I've resisted the urge!
Oh man did I go off on a tangent with that question. The first thing that popped into my head was Ariel, so I talked about how she was strong, independent, and stood by what she believed and wanted. Of course I then proceeded to go into a mini-rant on how one of my friends hates Ariel because she feels Ariel has no morals and bad family values! But I then pointed out that I disagreed with her and everything was fine anyway because Ariel got her happy ending!
That was quick thinking!
Umm... stupid question... what is the "hub?" I'm sorry, I'm really new to all of this.
If you got signed up for June 08 feel free to leave your facebook info!
