[Pure_Imagination]

No problem! It really helped me with everyone giving advice before I took the assessment, so I'm glad to return the favor

 

[Joanna71985]

Good luck everyone!

I applied last night and filled out that LONG questionnaire, and made it through, woo! It's so nice not to have to fax stuff in this time! Unfortunately I forgot to call and schedule my interview today. Whoops! I put down Entertainment, Character Attendant, Attractions, and Merch for my roles, gonna fly up to Chicago and audition like I did last time. Really hoping to get entertainment again, it was SUCH a blast! Good luck to everybody! =D

Hey Molly! I'm glad you're applying to go back- hope to see you in Jan!

I hope you're joking.

Nope, the PP is not joking.

Good luck!

good luck! Let us know how it turns out!

Thanks guys! I think it went fairly well. My interviewer was Kristy or maybe it's Christy. I put concierge, merchandise, and vacation planner down as my top choices. She asked if I had any experience with concierge and I told her no and those were the end of the questions about that lol. I'm guessing I won't be getting that one. I got questions about merchandise and vacation planning. I also told her I was interested in hospitality, attractions, transportation, and character attendant. She asked me why I wanted to work for Disney in addition to the role questions and we talked about some of the courses. The interview lasted for about 20 mins. She was about 15 mins late calling me but she apologized. She said it could take between 4-6 weeks to hear a decision but it could be as soon as 1-2 weeks. So now comes the hard part, waiting to hear back from them. It's going to be a long (hopefully not) 6 weeks.

^ I'm sure your interview went fine! Sounds like you had a good experience!

So now I guess I shouldn't put concierge so high up on my list, lol, I have no experience either.

If you don't mind me asking, were the questions the same situational questions that have been talked about the Disboards and Disney sites before, or did you notice anything new?

I would go ahead and put it. You never know really.

The questions were the same. She didn't ask anything that I hadn't read before.

This reminded me of a few things that I never saw mentioned though:

-I don't know if this is always the case but I could hear her typing my responses and making notes so don't let it throw you off
-You'll spend about 5-10 mins going over stuff on your application and verifying information

Oh my gosh its so exciting its starting for all of us! We've been reading about it for so long but it's finally time to interview! Mine is tomorrow and I'm so excited/nervous!

 

[hyperflame]

I just called in and scheduled an interview for this Thursday at 10:15 AM, so I'm really getting excited/nervous at the moment.

By the way, I didn't wait at all to get to the scheduling person, I just hit a few options on the telephone prompt and then someone immediately picked up. So if you're still waiting to schedule your phone interview, call now and schedule!

when i interviewed for fall 09 i heard typing too. it wasnt a huge distraction though. I think i was too worried about the questions to come to notice anything like that.

I just wanted to say thank you to every one who has been posting on this thread. I did the web interview on Friday and missed the time to call in to schedual an interview by an hour so I had to call today.... After dealing with an "incomplete application" (apparently I didn't type in my presentation code... oops) and them saying that I applied for the wrong one and would need to reapply (system error on their side.... They had my correct application) I finally was able to get an interview schedualed for tomorrow night... I am soo nervous but so excited at the same time! Congrats to every one who has already done their interview and hopefully since we all applied early we wont have to wait the dreaded 6 weeks to hear.

Good luck every one!

 

[disaddiction828]

hi i just wanted stop in and announce that I filled my application and scheduled my interview today. I have never been on this topic and after filling it, I thought it would be a smart place to begin posting/ reading to get pointers on my interview i have on thursday at 9:45 am. I look forward to getting to know you all and hopefully see you in January down at Disney

 

[DisneyFan2000]

Ahh help. my internet shut down at the next step part of the application process. And when i try to do the exisitig application part it says my application has been admitied. But I dont know what to do next!ahhh
can anyone help?

Thankz!

 

[GhillieGirlBelle1987]

send an email to recruiting tech support explaining your internet problems (mine did the same thing) send them your presentation completion code, and if you got to the web interview your 10 digit number, also send an email to the gallup email address, hopefully they can check your app and fix it.

 

[atmtcprincess]

Good luck to everyone that has upcoming interviews!!
