Spring/Spring Advantage 2011 :)

I've read the web-based interview has a "timed" part....how was it? and what kind of questions did you have? Do you have any recommendations about it?

It was pretty basic stuff for the most part, like "I am always on time" and then you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree. There were also a lot of them where it's says "how fast do you work?" "faster than others, slower, or the same."

It's mostly just questions like that, things they would probably ask in any job interview. The timed part really isn't much of a problem, there's not a whole lot to debate with yourself in these questions, just pick an answer, don't stress about it too much, and you'll be fine!

Did you use Safari??

Yes. For some reason on Firefox it didn't show that the Apps were up. That was weird but overall no problems using Safari.

The timed portion gave 50 seconds to answer each question; that's almost a minute. Plenty of time to choose an answer.

Hey I have a question. My phone interview is next week, but I heard that the PI's are coming out in September. I would rather get into the PI than the CP and if you get accepted into the CP, you only get 2 weeks to decide. I want to apply for the PI but the CP deadline will be coming out the same time. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Apply for both. You can do that with no penalties and if you accept the CP, your deposit will simply transfer over if you get a PI. I actually applied for and accepted a CP AFTER my 2nd PI interview which wound up being a good call as all management internships were cancelled that semester, so the CP became my Plan A.

I had my phone interview today! I posted about it on my blog http://disneyfairytale.blogspot.com/

seriously your nerves are the worst of it, the questions are pretty simple and if you're honest you should be just fine! Good luck to everyone!

I can't sit down and watch the e-presentation or do the application until this weekend because I am at Residence Life training to be an RA at my school (for a sixth semester in reslife).

I want to be able to fill it out now, so I can get over the nerves about applying and then just be in the waiting game (although the waiting is a pretty tough part, too!).

Isn't RA training the WORST? I just finished my 5th training. . . couldn't get out of even half a day. Because Lord knows I might miss something incredibly important that I haven't learned in the other 4 semesters of experience I have. . . .

Becca, I love your blog, it's so beautiful! and anything to do with the upcoming phone interview is loads of help.

Can't. Wait. Anymore. I probably shouldn't have sandwiched my interview tomorrow between a college math assessment and babysitting.
"We have 12:45 on Saturday"
"Are there any open spots for Sunday?"
"I'm sorry, we're full.
(pause)
"Yes, actually! 12:45 is perfect."

AHHH *fingers crossed*

We just changed up some of the things we were doing so I know there's still stuff to learn... but there's a lot of repetitive stuff too. I wish they'd let the returning RAs teach some of it to the newer hires! I want to be able to participate more in the teaching aspect.

Quick question:

Are the applications only open at certain times of the day? I keep having trouble getting mine to come up... so frustrating!!!

Are you trying to do it on a Macbook?

I had my interview this morning guys at 10:45 am.. my interviewer actually called me 5 minutes late, because the interview before me ran long.

I was so nervous before the interview, but it was all for nothing, the interview was really fun and easy. My interview lindsey was really cool and very easy to be myself around her.

During my interview she asked me alot of questions about Photo Pass Photographer which was my second choice role. If i get in, which i hope i do i believe i'm going to be working as a photopass photographer

The app doesn't work with certain web browsers, what are you using?

Can you put in your application even if you haven't registered for classes yet? DS will be on the quarter system and classes don't start until the end of Sept. He will be meeting w/ an advisor w/in the next 2 weeks. Do you think there is anything to keep him from applying and interviewing? Should he wait until he is registered for classes to make sure there isn't a glitch?

I think it was just a fluke in the system, because I was using Internet Explorer as advised. Everything is fixed now! I passed the web interview and now to schedule the phone interview! I'm so excited!! I just wish the office for scheduling interviews was open on Saturdays!

hey everyone! i've applied, have you? yesterday (the 21st) was the most stressful but satasfying day of my life. i've waited eight years for the chance to apply and i couldn't be happier! just a reminder, the facebook group is going strong and we're all VERY excited. it's a great place to talk to people doing the program and get stoked.

not to mention the skype chats have been fun/insane/and full of hysterical things to keep the time passing.

good luck to those who interview in the coming week and those who have applied. i'm sure we all have this in the bag
