Spring/Spring Advantage 2011 :)

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'm a college freshman on semesters, i don't see why wouldn't be able to apply if he's going to complete a semester before his program starts!

I have my Phone Interview tomorrow evening,,, and i'm so nervous about it. At the end of the web interview does everyone get the "Strong Candidate" message?

This whole application process is new to me,,, I applied the old way with the face to face interview and was accepted into Spring Advantage 2005 as a Vacation Planner,, but fell and had to have major knee surgery about a month before my arrival date, so I had to cancel my arrival, which i'm hoping won't affect my chances this time around.

Just had a 18 minute phone interview.. The waiting begins!!

Did anyone else's recruiter tell them that because we are so early in the semester (I did my phone interview the very first day) that it would probably be 6 weeks? I don't think I can wait that long!!

My interviewer simply said 4-6 weeks. She never mentioned how early it was or anything of that nature. Why would they take longer to process earlier applications? Do they wait around until they get a certain number and then start evaluating? This idea of later=faster is kind of the opposite of how colleges do it.

I am also curious!

I posed this question to College Recruiting last year not long after they started the gallup profile. Here is what they said (these are my words, not a direct quote).

"Strong Candidate" is just a term they use to group you as someone who has passed the gallup profile and has been referred to schedule an interview. And the word choice is probably there to make you feel good and encourage you to call and schedule.

Don't read anything more than into it other than simple terminology. You aren't being ranked or being looked at any more favorable than any other person who passed it. I guess you could say that based on the results you are a stronger candidate than those who didn't pass it.

Also keep in mind that even those who pass the gallup profile are declined following the telephone interview.

No unfortunately. You have to be currently in school to apply

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.

Wow! Great big bunch here!

 

[SarahNicole]

Wow! Great big bunch of RAs here! I was an RA last year, but I'm on a leave of absence and taking classes at home this semester. I guess we're the "type" to want to do the CP too.

Looking back on my phone interview, I realized I talked about RAing more than any other job. . .

In training, when they're trying to be all motivational and whatnot, they always tell us how companies loooooove to hire former RA's. I hope that's true with Disney!!

it's almost been a week since my interview ..i'm really disliking this waiting game

2 hours until my phone interview!!!

Good luck!!!

 

[vegetablegirl]

1 week since applications came out!

While waiting for an answer seems to be taking forever, it feels like just yesterday I was telling my grandmother that we really didn't know when they would be out, and we'd just have to wait and see.

It's weird that it all happened and is over so quickly, and now all there is to do is wait... again.

 

[Hannah831]

Good luck!!!

Thanks!! I think it went pretty well (I hope!) My interviewer was Jennifer and she was very nice Now back to the waiting game!
