I just had my interview with Danielle (I *believe that was her name... I'm horrible with names and will make heavy use of the CM name tags heehee ). There was one point where I studdered myself out, but other than that, it went FANTASMIC. She asked everything out of order actually haha, she started with the why work for Disney, then did roles, and then at the end went over the requirement questions etc. But it still went well, apparently I was her first interviewee I'm gonna create a blog/vlog later with all the details, but there really wasn't any new questions we don't know about, minus the new audition rule (see the thread I just created). Oh, and she loved the fact I ended with "have a magical day!" haha

^ Congrats on a great interview!!!!

I have my interview tomorrow at 9:15 AM!!!!!!! I can't believe it's so close!!!!! I finally told some people at work today that I was doing the program, and they thought it sounded like a great idea! One girl even knew someone who did the program and said that person really liked it! I'm SO excited! Tomorrow's the day I've been waiting for all summer, that's so surreal!

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.

That's weird because I had her too and I had Concierge as one of my top adn told her straight up that I had no hotel experience and it seems like that's the one we talked about most. Idk what to think though because I only got like 1 real "question" about the my top roles and then we talked about Attractions which wasn't one of my top but on my list. Hopefully we both get in!

Good luck this morning Pure! Mine is at 1:45...don't know how I'm supposed to be able to focus in two classes before that!! Eekk!! I can't believe it's finally here...I think Pure said it best: it's so surreal!!
And congrats to those that already interviewed! It sounds like they went great!!

^ Thanks!!!!! I'm so nervous right now! I'm trying to eat some cereal because I was hungry, but now I feel more like I might be sick I think I might have to try watching some Doctor Who or something to calm my nerves.

I know exactly how you feel! Mine is right behind yours at 2:15 today, and I have to get through one more class today then eat lunch. My first class I decided to write out some questions I remembered and write out my answers again just to get them down.

Good luck to everyone interviewing today and the rest of the week (and so forth). And I hope everyone did well in their interviews that already went!

Mine is in 17 minutes! I'm so excited!!! Slash really nervous..

Okay, so now that I've nearly had a heart attack from nerves...

I think the phone interview went pretty well!!!! I wasn't asked nearly as many situational questions as I thought they would ask. They asked me a lot more about my work experience than I expected them to. I was asked a lot about multitasking. I just answered everything the best that I could, and I'm nervous about a couple of my answers. I'm not really sure if they're what they were looking for.

I think if anything will help it'll be retail experience and the fact that I applied early. I mean, she asked a LOT about my retail experience. I was okay with that, though.

She did ask about QSFB, but she also asked about FSFB. You might want to be prepared for that, I guess.

My advice would be to think of how you can related your work experience to Disney. That might help you answer some of the questions. I had to talk a lot about customer service and, like I said, multitasking, so you might want to think about that too.

Good luck to all who have not interviewed!

I guess all I can do now is wait. I really don't know how to feel about the interview being over. I waited all summer to get to do the interview, and now it's done with. What do I do now? Lol. I'll just hope for the best! Good luck to everyone!

 

[Lauren in wonderland]

i have like an hour and a half just about until my interview... im about to throw up from nerve, yet im pretty excited. im probably going to have so much nervous laughter its crazy.

good luck to everyone who interviews today!

eeekkkk!

 

[rachaelfig]

Okay so I just finished mine and I have NO IDEA how it went! It was only 11 minutes! My interview last time went for 37 minutes! I wasn't asked very many questions at all - only one about Attractions and one about Merch, one about my work experience, and one about why I wanted to work there.

GAHHHHHHH........ has it been two to three weeks yet??????

My interviewer was sooo nice though, so that made me feel better. She said 'great' after all my answers, and even had a mini conversation agreeing with me after I said how Disney would fit into my future plans.

I really really really really hope I get in this time.

Good luck to everyone else!!

I'm SO nervous. I was told 2-3 weeks too! I wonder what it means that different people are told different time lengths?

 

[Disney_Princess_89]

I just got off the phone with Nancy- I think my interview went really well!
She asked me about my previous CP and how I liked it; then about the jobs I currently work at and how I like them
and then there were some situation questions about how I would help people...
Then she just asked about what I thought my ideal work environment would be, do I like being outside, and Why I want to be a character performer
At one point she made it sound like I was in so I'm really excited and can't wait to hear back!!

How long does it normally take to get an answer back after the phone interview?

 

[DOasDREAMERSdo]

Oh my goodness my interview is less than 45 minutes!!! I don't know what to do with myself.

My daughter is doing the program now. When she interviewed they told her in 3-4 weeks she would find out by mail but 9 days later she got an e-mail that said she made it. So keep checking your e-mail and good luck to all of you.

 

[DOasDREAMERSdo]

6 MINUTES!
Ahhh
