The Official Spring/Spring Advantage 2010 Thread!

[NicoleRose]

finished my interview about an hour ago!!
it went really well i think! i really dont have any regrets!
i had kirsten.
at the beginning she told me she scheduled 20 minutes for the interview but it only lasted like 11 minutes and 46 seconds lol
but she asked at the beginning if i'd be willing to add qsfb and i told her i'd be willing to do it but i'd prefer to keep my list as is and she said that was fine
then she asked why i wanted to do the program and my favorite and least favorite job experiences
then she asked my top 3 which was character attendant, hospitality, and attractions
for character attendant she asked why i'd be qualified for it and why i wanted to do it and then asked the scenario question about the child being rude towards a character
then she asked about hospitality and gave me the what if the room a guest requested was unavailable question
then asked about attractions and if i would be comfortable speaking in front of people long spiels and then gave me the famous space mountain question lol
then asked about merch and gave the "what if i a guest wanted an item that was unavailable" question
lol lots of scenario questions
but then she asked the yes or no questions and if i had any questions

all in all, it went really well! i'm very comfortable with it!
she said she was giving it to my recruiter to determine what to do or osmething and i would get something in the mail in 2-3 weeks!!

so excited and relieved lol i was so nervous but i had answers prepared for all the questions so i was happy!
i only got my tongue tied once but i apologized and started over lol
kirsten was really nic etoo and had a really high pitched happy voice lol it made me feel comfortable being extra bubbly
and she laughed whenever i tried to be funny so that was good

lol okay i'm done. but thanks to everyone who sent me interview questions and answered my questions!

I think I had Kristen too cause that's pretty much how my interview went, including some things word for word. I felt really at ease with her because she was just so bubbly and disney-fied! It really helps I think.

i think it definitely helped! it was easy to play off of her personality lol i consider myself very lucky

the interview almost seemed exactly how i imagined it, nearly too perfect lol that scares me a little. dont want to be too over-comfortable with it!

I just finished my interview about 15 minutes ago! I think it went alright. I had Kaylee interviewing me and she was really nice and seemed interested in what I was saying. Mine lasted for about 18 minutes, so I hope I wasn't babbling too much!

Also, at the end when she said I would hear back in 2-3 weeks, I asked her how I would be contacted (since I knew some people here were wondering) and she said that it could be by either email, phone, OR regular mail and that it just depends on the situation and how your recruiter chooses to contact you. So, I guess we have to be on the lookout and cover all bases!

[heathierose]

So last night I was applying for jobs in my area and I got a call when I was applying somewhere from a 407 area code and got all nervous because my interview wasnt supposed to be til 5 hours later. I answered at it was Disney telling me my interviewer came down with an illness and now I don't have my interview til wed at 945 am!! Now I gotta wait and be all nervous again lol.

Also I have a question: If I am asked the question: "what would you do if a guests reserved room was unavailable?" whats a good answer for that?

 

[disaddiction828]

Seems through facebook people already are getting accepted... I know of three people

 

[DOasDREAMERSdo]

Ha, I was just about to post that disaddiction!
That's crazy...I'm super nervous now though!
Agghhhh I can't take this waiting!

 

[Jelliebean]

Really? How?

 

[disaddiction828]

Sorry DoasDreamersdo!

They received an email 8 days after there interview!

 

[disaddiction828]

Sorry doubled posted

 

[rachaelfig]

I got an email from Disney saying thanks for applying and I'll hear back in another 4 to 6 weeks. I'm really glad that I got SOMETHING, but I wish I could have been accepted. I really really really want Attractions and that's what the people who've been accepted have got. But yayyyyy for hearing back!

 

[disaddiction828]

not exclusively some have gotten QSFB as well as Merch

 

[NotSoLittleAviator]

So I just recieved an email that says this:

"Thank you for taking the time to interview for the Disney College Program at the Walt Disney World® Resort. You should hear from us again in about 4 - 6 weeks."

Which is making me very nervous. I thought my interview was flawless. Are people accually getting accepted already?

 

[ashliejere]

I think everyone is getting the thank you letter, right? Or do they only send those to people who applied for limited roles? I just got the same letter but I applied for several roles, merch being one of them (and I thought merch was pretty open like QSFB). Is it a good sign to get that letter or is everyone getting it??

If the people who interviewed on Monday (24th) are getting their acceptance/rejection emails..when should the rest of us look for ours? For example, I interviewed on Wed. (26th) should I look for mine in a few days or two weeks?

 

[rachaelfig]

I'm sure not ALL of the people who interviewed on Monday got their acceptance/rejection today. Since QSFB and Merch people got accepted as well as Attractions people it seems to me that Disney is trying to stay ahead in the game taking care of as many people as possible. Maybe those of us who interviewed and asked for a role that needs tons of CPs will hear tomorrow (fingers crossed!) maybe we'll hear next week, maybe we won't hear for another 4 to 6 weeks (hope not!). We're playing the waiting game now.

 

[disaddiction828]

8 days after you interview is the earliest you will hear about acceptance. I have heard of no one hearing of a rejection. But also there are some people who were interviewed on monday but did not hear anything. So even if you do not hear something 8 days after your interview dont get upset.

Great, thanks for the news disaddiction.

I did my phone interview last Thursday, so the earliest I'll hear back is this Friday. I don't have to keep banging on the "Refresh" button on my browser in my webmail .

 

[AngelNeedsMAGIC]

I got the "Thank you letter". blah! But, I have paper work to go through, so I figured I wouldn't get accepted if I do, so soon.

Congrats on those accepted thus far!
