The Official Spring/Spring Advantage 2010 Thread!

[krisTXyn]

my interview is tonight at 6:45

and so far (i've changed it MANY times) my list is this

attractions (i REALLY want KS, or at least something with an awesome costume or spiel)
hospitality (do i need to have hotel expierence?)
character attendant
merchandise
concierge

i'm nervoussss

QUESTION:
did they ask what season you wanted to work? like Spring or Spring advantage? because i STILL can't decide.....help?

 

[disaddiction828]

So you could change to the advantage if you sent an application in for the regular one? or while your down there can you extend to the advantage program?

i thought when you sent in the application that it go for either, then they would ask you which one you prefer, honestly i was so nervous while filling out everything i don't even remember :/

but i would love to just do reg spring, then extend. but i thought it you extended then you had to find your own apartment, and idk if i could afford that, i just kinda wanted to do SA and stay in the CP apartments,

or do i have this all wrong? lol

 

[disaddiction828]

I really do not know it is the first time I am applying. I looked at my application and it does not have anywhere stating which one I would do.

They'll ask you during the interview which program you would prefer. I told my interviewer I was leaning towards Advantage, but would do either, so you don't have to firmly pick only one.

As for extending, if you extend you still live in CP housing, but you might be asked to change apartments within the complexes. A couple of my roomates extended and the were moved from Vista to Chatham, but they were still in CP housing.

Hope this helps!

Great that helps with a question that I was not thinking of until krisTXyn brought up

 

[Lauren in wonderland]

Here's a question for the people who already had their phone interviews, and are reporting interview times of 10-15 minutes: Do you have plenty of experience in jobs that interact with people?

to answer your question: yes.

 

[disaddiction828]

then that can explain the shorter interview time

 

[Toffy]

So am I the only one who's interview ran a grand total of 25 minutes? I'm trying to decide if that's a good thing or if we just took things slower than normal or something hehe

Either way.... these are gonna be the slowest weeks of my life

So I had my interview at 2:15 today. I'm sitting there waiting for the call and the phone starts to ring. I answer it, and go "HELLO, HELLO, HELLO?", to no response. Then I hit speakerphone and say Hello twice more. THEN, my phone goes back to the main screen. I frantically sit and wait, thinking the phone call did not go through and that Disney would call me back (I even try to call back, but since it was blocked, that didn't work). Two minutes later, I get a voicemail saying I missed my interview and if I was still interested in the college program to reschedule my interview. How I love my life!!!


So I guess my phone dropped the call on my end, but on the other end it still rang, because I definitely answered the call. So now its rescheduled for Friday at 10:15, but I really hope this doesn't screw up my chances of being accepted.

UGGH.

ohh ok, thanks!
and also about extending, say i do spring, and want to extend, can i extend and work during the summer, then leave for home in like august? or is extending when you go to the fall season too...lol sorry for all the questions, my interview is in an hour and 15 minutes, i'm freaking out!

 

[krisTXyn]

Great that helps with a question that I was not thinking of until krisTXyn brought up

yeah i made a list of questions i'm gonna ask them, just some things that i couldn't find online,



i'm just trying to waste time until my interview, and not think about it.

When you extend from Spring you first extend to the end of Spring Advantage (the end of summer). Then after some point into the summer, you can extend again into the Fall and leave in January.

[krisTXyn]

gah! interview is over, lol

i think it went awesome, and i hope she thinks so too lol

i interviewed with trisha, and she said that i was her first interview of this season, so there was a few technical difficulty, but everything went great

she asked about attractions and hospitality, and character attendant too

i realllyyyyy hope i get attractions (i did get the dreaded space mountian question, but i took advice from someone on here who said that TTA went through space mountian too, so i said something about suggesting that, and she was like "i'm surprised you did you research!" she sounded happy

but like i said, i reallyyyy hope i get attractions, i kinda want a spiel ride, like KS or something like that

but i have a feeling i'm gonna get character attendant, just because i have a lot of expierence in that, since i used to work at chuckecheese and practically had to be a character attendant to chucke,

but yeah, i think it went well, it was 20 minutes long, but i gave long winded answers, lol :/

anyways, she said it would 2 to 3 weeks till i found out, so i'm excited!

DD

good luck to everyone!

Can anyone tell me what the space mountain question is? my interview is in 45 mins and i have no idea what that question is at all. Thnkz!

 

[CursedCarolers]

Can anyone tell me what the space mountain question is? my interview is in 45 mins and i have no idea what that question is at all. Thnkz!

I believe it's something like: If a child gets past the first height measurement on space mountain but gets up to you and you find that the child is under the height requirement, what do you do?

 

[disaddiction828]

If a child came up to you and was to short to ride what would you say?

 

[DisneyFan2000]

well i would probably first let the parent know that the child does not in fact meet the height requirement and that one of them may take the child to the entrance and wait for the rest of the party, or suggest maybe riding the TTA or heading into the arcade to play a few games
