Spring/Spring Advantage 2011 :)

[TinkerMouse]

Recap on notifications based on all of the info we have: The first batch of letters accompanied by e-mails has gone out starting with pending followed by rejections (unless the two kinds are technically being sent out at the same time) and then eventually with patience acceptances will follow.

I don't understand why they chose this order? I would send out rejections first, then acceptances and then pendings last.

So the rejection letters did come with an email? Or was it only a snail mail letter?

Based on the fact that pendings and acceptances arrive by both e-mail and post I'm going to say that rejections do too because I don't know why they'd treat them differently. However, many times people will only get one or the other which I think is some kind of mistake just like people not getting thank you e-mails is a definite accident (unless your interviewer hated you and didn't want to hit the button to send it but I don't see that actually happening ).

The only reason I ask is that there was originally a rumor that rejections went out only via snail mail, and for the most part people who have been rejected seem to be saying they came through snail mail.

Also I feel like it would make sense: if the pendings and rejections went out in the same batch, everyone got pendings day of, and then the rejections come around about three/four days later via snail mail.

ARGH Disney why are you so confusing!!! (Also, you're scaring me because I'm afraid I got rejected but because I live in Oklahoma my letter just didn't get here yet and now it's waiting at the post office over Labor Day! )

I do definitely agree with the mistake thing. And if your interviewer hated you enough not to even send you a thank you, that's probably not a good sign!!! Hahaha!

Ohhh goodness I'm just thinking too much. This will be the longest weekend ever!

I live in Oklahoma too! I haven't talked to anyone else trying out from here. Are you doing spring or spring advantage?

Cool! I haven't met anyone either!! I'm currently planning on Spring, but if I make it I'm positive I'll extend/go seasonal (or full time if I can!).

What about you?

I'm pretty sure rejections only come via snail mail.

What is it that would cause someone to be rejected from a phone interview?
Can anyone pinpoint it?

rejected from a phone interview? If you are referring to them not being offered a phone interview, that means they didn't pass the web-based interview.

If you are trying to ask what is it that causes somebody to get rejected from the program season, it varies depending on the person. Some people might not show enough personality, only applied for roles that they don't suit, applied for competitive roles that have been filled, etc. there are tons of reasons a person can be rejected.

These are a few educated guesses:

1) Being rude/difficult over the phone= cutting off the interviewer, telling them that you don't want to answer that question or asking for another one, not being pleasant when they say "hi, how are you", using a tone of voice that suggests you're either bored, irritated or have something better to do, OR sounding drunk/high/just plain out of it

2) Answering the questions in an incredibly unprofessional way i.e. saying something like "if someone couldn't ride space mountain I'd say, 'sucks for you shorty go find some other ride, NEXT!' " Or answering questions in a really unprepared/un-thought out manner i.e. "umm... I dunno...I guess I would...umm...I dunno."

I'm pretty sure rejections only come via snail mail.

Why do rejections get special treatment since the other two kinds come with both? Is an e-mail too harsh so they want to make sure you only get it formally/professionally via post?

Umm people also get rejected that are good, friendly people who love Disney. My friend got rejected and she is a 4.0 student who would never be rude or drunk or anything for a professional phone interview. Some people just get nervous for such an important opportunity and may be rejected because of it. It is also very competitive, and if you say no to custodial, housekeeping, qsfb, or recreation as she did you very well may not get accepted, even if you apply on the first day.

Well I don't know for certain but I guess it's a matter of formality and professionalism. Rejecting somebody via email is probably viewed as in poor taste to a lot of companies.

Actually, I have received several rejection emails for Disney roles, but those are NOT CP-related. Spring 2009 CP applicants didn't even receive an acceptance email, so it's a new process. I'm guessing it will take awhile for them to include the rejections in the process as well, not to mention the resources tied up with it.

I took the web interview today and I passed but have to wait till tomorrow to schedule the phone interview because they were closed today because of the holiday.

I made one mistake though. I accidently switched 2 of the numbers in the Social Security number. How can I change it? I'm terrifed it will affect my chances of being accepted. What do you all think?

 

[jimmychoos0323]

I am so happy I found this thread I had my interview on Aug. 22 and have been checking my email 100 times a day since then. I dont no how much longer I can wait and hearing about the rejections made me more nervous. Has anyone heard if they been accepted into the CP?

I don't think it'll affect your chances, just let them know when you schedule your interview, I'd say!

Thank you so much. It's just one number and doesn't affect my 10 digit ID number so I don't really see it being a problem but I don't want anything to hurt my chances.
