The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

Take a deep breath and relax first.

Answer truthfully, but remember, this is for a job. So answer your questions as if you are in a work environment. What makes a good employee?

I remember reading on here to put mostly "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree" So that is what I did and it seemed to work! I had one neutral and a few agrees and disagrees, but I mostly went for the extremes.

I thought most of the questions were no brainers, honestly: I am friendly, I work well with others, I enjoy helping others, I work hard, I like meeting new people, etc.

They will ask you the same question, but worded differently. "I like to work in groups" and then later, "I like to work alone." So if you put strongly agree to working with others, don't contradict yourself by saying you like to work alone.

But mostly, just relax and you will do fine. Good luck!

I have tips!! They're in this blog post, under "step 3"!

Thanks so much! Honestly, the Web interview is what I'm most nervous about :/

Did anyone have an issue with the page where they want you to check where you are going to see the presentation? I couldn't find the e- presentation option even though they say it is there.

UGH!!! WHYYYYYY???

I completely agree with everything Melinda said! I also chose "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree" with most of them because I read somewhere that was best. I also chose a few "agrees" and "disagrees" here and there....and it worked for me!

It's really not that bad. They are actually pretty easy questions, with maybe a few that made me go, "Oh no, what do I put?"...lol
So relax!!

Good luck to all of you!

Everyone had that problem. Just select a school near you and correct it when you call for your interview.

 

[Ylushi]

I'm excited to apply, I'm just waiting till I talk to a few people about going and trying it again. Good luck to everyone

 

[tink774]

Yay! I passed the Web Interview!!

I'm going to call tomorrow afternoon to schedule my phone interview. Good luck to all the other applicants!

 

[ltwentyone]

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time! Good luck everyone! I will probably wait a few days before I start the process...

 

[teamlouise]

Hooray!

I watched the presentations and applied for both the Disneyland and Disney World programs tonight! AND I got an e-mail from my school about commencement. I'm going to have wicked senioritis until June! haha.

Can't wait to do my phone interviews and start that nail-biting WAIT again. :/

 

[heyhowdyhey]

Hey does anybody have the number to call to set up a phone interview I lost it

 

[ZeroToHero]

1-800-722-2930

I just set mine up for 2 pm tomorrow.

Mine's for 2:30! Lol you must have called right before me. I called at exactly 7:31 my time.

 

[ZeroToHero]

Haha! I called at 8:30... and then waited for 4 minutes.. and no one picked up. So I called back... and then got through almost immediately.

I was expecting them to start next week, so I was surprised when she said tomorrow.

So don't curse me with your bad interview!

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do great. I'm just really happy they're starting to interview right away. Less time to worry!

 

[Disney_Lover06]

I was also expecting them to start next week but was pleasantly surprised. Mine interview is tomorrow at 11am!! I am now searching through past interview questions even though I feel like I have a good idea of what they ask!

Did anyone else have a hard time scheduling a phone interview? From what I was told, the entire system is backed up due to everyone calling in trying to set them up.
I'm to wait for a call back.... :/
(I called 9:30 eastern time)

Has this happened to anyone else? Should I wait or just call back again later

EDIT: I did receive a call back. The earliest I could get was Monday at 9:30. Back to the waiting game........*falls over*

They told me there were no interviews available at this time and that they would call. So... I have a feeling they're going to call while I'm in class....

LOL, I know right? I have class later as well, I'm sure it will be hilarious to see me fling myself out of the class room just to answer a phone call.

At least I'm not the only one in the boat....

 

[Disney_Lover06]

I had a problem scheduling a interview. When I called and gave them my information, the lady couldn't find my application. I was on hold for about 10 minutes before she told me to fill it out again. After I hung up, I ran to the computer and logged in. It confirmed my next step was the phone interview, so I called back and they finally found my interview.
