The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

[tink774]

My interview is scheduled for Wednesday at 7:30pm! I'm in class all day on Wed. so I wouldn't even be available until 5pm that day. This way I have some time to come home, relax, eat, and prepare myself for the interview.

It took several calls to get past the busy signal, and I was worried I would have to wait until tomorrow. But I'm glad it's all set!

I hope that everyone's web/phone interviews go well!

I wasn't able to get through today

So when you finish the web interview, it says to call within 72 hours to set up the phone interview. But I'm in class most of the day tomorrow! What if I can't get through in the hour and a half that I'll be able to try calling? The lines aren't open on Saturday and Sunday, which means it will have been more than 72 hours by the time I'm able to call again!

Hopefully I'll get through tomorrow, but does anyone know what happens if I don't?

There's an email... wdw.college.recruiting@disney or something like that? I forget. Someone may have an email from them on hand and would be able to say better. I would shoot them an email. I am sending you a PM as well.

I have a countdown now, woohoo! And then after the interview I'll be able to track exactly how long it takes to get either a purple folder or the saddest letter ever...

I talked to a cast member on the phone today because I wanted to schedule a time for next weekend. They, however, only had times listed until next Friday. She told me to call back in the middle of next week to try again. I brought up the 72 hour thing and she told me that that was just to remind people to call before they forget; there isn't an actual time frame in which you must call. Who could forget to call Disney, though, for heaven's sake?

So you'll be fine, don't worry about it.

I am submitting my application today. Then it will be the wait to get through to set up the interview.

GREAT! Thank you so much! That helps a ton. I still hope I get through today! But at least that takes some of the pressure off. Thanks!!

Good luck to everyone who has their interview today!!

So I applied last fall for this time but I didn't get in and I was heart broken. When I saw the applications were back up I almost had a heart attack I was so excited. I watched the e-presentation again and got my conformation code. I went on filled out the application but was dreading the online interview. when I finished filling out the application it said I was done and that I could call for my phone interview! I was so excited I didn't have to retake it! I called had to call back about 5-6 times before I got through then had to wait about 20 minutes but the music was so good! I made my appointment for 2:00 on Monday. I could not believe that they had times on Monday still but they did! Now I am so excited but so nervous!

My son is planning on watching the e-presentation this afternoon. After he does that, will he have to fill out a web based interview? And if so, does he do that right after filling out the application, or is it something that has to be scheduled?

Also, if he gets as far as having a telephone interview, do they schedule it, or does he request a time that he's available? He goes back to school on Sunday morning, and starts classes on Monday so he's worried that a telephone interview may be scheduled while he's got classes scheduled. How does that work?

Thanks for all your help!

He would generally do the Web Based Interview after he fills out the application.

He would need to schedule an interview time convenient for him by contacting Walt Disney Parks and Resorts College Recruiting, procedures on how to do this will be conveyed during the interview process.

Hello! My name is Britt, and I am applying for the Fall 2010 CP! i am soooooooo excited!

 

[naoboo]

Wow, I need to pay more attention to this thread. D:

Those are my top three roles too! I forgot to mention that before I think lol. But I'm the same as you. I'll take whatever they give me.

So you're my competition then, huh?

Just kidding of course.

Hey, I'm from AR as well. What school do you go to?

Oh, is this the Jennifer from FB?

I'm from Fayetteville (lived there my whole life), but I go to school at John Brown University in Siloam Springs. My roommate who's also applying is from Booneville. I'm trying to get her to join in on this forum and the FB group, but she doesn't participate in internet gatherings very much.

Hey guys!

I just applied last night for the 2010 term. It took me 20 minutes until I got to talk with someone from recruiting to schedule my interview for next Wednesday. As a college Freshman...my nerves are building up inside of me as i type. It has always been my dream to work for Disney since i could remember and i really don't want to get my hopes up..

Has anyone had their interview yet? Any tips for first timers?

And where is the FB group that i hear so much about?

 

[Joanna71985]

When doing the phone interview, some things to remember:
*stay relaxed (no need to panic- the interviewers are really nice)
*remember to smile (they can tell, even over the phone)
*be honest with your answers
*pick as many roles as you feel comfortable doing

Good luck!
