Are you not applying for Spring 2010?

Btw, I've had a livejournal for a while for my every day Austin Texas life but officially starting today it will have CP stuff ALL over it!

http://marinahendrix.livejournal.com

Nope - Fall 2010. I decided I'd rather have a full year of college under my belt before taking off to do a CP.

I friended you on livejournal - I'm ladypushpull there. It's mostly personal stuff on that blog, but there is some CP stuff. My main CP blog is on blogger though.

Hey guys, I know I haven't been here alot. But I got accepted as well, its my 2nd CP. I interviewed on August 25 and received my email letter on September 2nd. Then my purple folder came two days after the email. I got accepted for merchandise, spring 2010. Hopefully I can extend until the fall if I don't get a professional internship first. Good luck to everyone out their still waiting, and keep on believing. Also, I am CP alumni and Campus Rep, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on the boards or PM. I will try my best to answer any question you have.

I interviewed Aug 27th and haven't heard a thing. Not even a pending. Though, I can't for the life of me understand why they even SEND a pending. Is there something we can do to sway their decision once we get that? (I know there isn't, all you people who take things I say too seriously)

I'd say 7 weeks was the maximum I've ever heard of anybody waiting. So strictly worst case scenario...About a month to go. haha.

I listed at least 8 or 9 roles. I feel like the more roles you list, the sooner you should hear back. I don't really care about where I work, just wish I would hear back: yes or no.

/Rant. It's 5 am and I'm tired. Sorry if it shows.

I listed a lot of roles as well. Last time, when I wasn't accepted, the lady I spoke with said I didn't list enough and that was one of the reasons (though I've heard of people only listing 2 or 3 and getting in, so, who knows). So, this time I expanded my list quite a bit. We'll see. It hasn't even been 2 weeks since I interviewed, so I should probably settle down, ha ha. I'm on the same page, though, I'd rather just know: yes or no.

its been about four days since i recieved my pending letter, has anyone even gotten accepted after getting a pending letter? last time i got it i was rejected, so now i guess i have it in my head that its just a pre-rejection letter.

That's how I'm feeling now too. I got mine a week ago. At this point I'm assuming I didn't get in, and that's how I'm planning for next semester.

Although, someone in the Facebook group got a pending letter and then an acceptance already. So who knows...

i think its best if we just stay positive.

I think it depends on how much you know about a certain role. More roles will help you get in because there are more spots you can go to but a better knowledge of a role will get you in faster, I think.

I picked Performer, Character Attendant, Photopass, and Attractions. I was asked one about attendant and had about a 5 minute conversation about Photopass and I was really enthusiastic about that. She didn't ask me a single question about Attractions. I got Photopass!

You guys will do fine! Its probably that they just don't know exactly where to put you and theyre trying to be fair to your choices and how you answered the questions. That doesn't mean they aren't going to put you anywhere, it just means theyre trying to pick one out.

That would be my guess!

I am extremely blessed that I heard so soon. Putting down so few roles can go one way or the other. Last semester, it was a rejection, this semester it was an acceptance in 8 days! Who knows?

I applied for 13 roles. I interviewed on the 31st and someone who interviewed that day got in already. My top choice was Food Cart Cashier which I haven't heard anyone else pick as a #1. I have the experience. I have the enthusiasm. What's their deal? ANYBODY can do this, unless they're really bad at elementary math. Most of the other roles I have some background in as well. Well, a Disney veteran said it usually takes longer for DLR. So I'll TRY to be patient.

I put Custodial in my top 3 and interviewed on Aug 27th. and I would legitimately like to do it. I haven't heard of anyone else doing that. and from what I've heard the job consists of sweeping, cleaning bathrooms, and giving people directions.

I GOT MERCHANDISE!!!
Everyone who hasn't heard don't give up! I had thought I might not hear for awhile, but it just goes to show...
"Any wish is possible!"

Congrats! when is your arrival date? I got Merch as well and ill be arriving Jan 11

 

[DOasDREAMERSdo]

Same, I applied August 27, and I applied for ~6 roles (and 2 of my top 3 roles were Attractions and Hospitality, and I hear those roles have loads of openings).

Haven't heard anything yet other than a Thank you for interviewing, so I'm getting really antsy. I just hope Disney gets back to me by the end of September, so I have time to book plane tickets, get my school's internship office the proper papers, etc

I was thinking that since I applied for Transportation (I hear that is a slot with very few openings, and I specifically asked for Monorail operations) and that I have some experience operating unusual machinery, that Disney is just trying to get a rare Monorail slot for me.

Or it could just be wishful thinking

Good luck everyone!

Almost the exact same thing happened with my interview on the 26th - I have almost ten years of experience in attractions Guest Relations and operations, so I listed roles related to that as my top two, then put Transportation as my third, pie-in-the-sky role, knowing I don't have much professional experience there. I do have a lot of boating experience, though - I live on the Delaware River and have been boating literally my entire life, so I put that as a hobby/interest on my application. The whole interview seemed to revolve around my seamanship and navigation skills, then went to my ability to operate a monorail at tall heights. Almost nothing was mentioned about Main Entrance Ops or Attractions, so I had a feeling this was the direction they wanted to take me. Sure enough, I got in on the 8th for Transportation.

I think that they pay very close attention to your existing experience, professional or otherwise, and then work very hard to get you a job that will serve both their needs and your skills equally well. I also think that it takes time for them to do that, so don't throw in the towel yet!
