Web-Interview

[pinkcess]

So unfortunately I did not pass the web interview I don't know if it is because I had to close my laptop to rush to class from work...yeah didn't know it was going to be that longgg I figured I still had enough time before I got off work to do it and get to class, obviously not. Well anyway's it's not so bad I was only going to apply and see if I got into it. I really want to wait until Fall 2010, but for future references did anyone else get denied after their web interview...it sucks so bad. I hate those strongly agree or strongly disagree type test.

Yes, I've heard of a number of people who were not invited to schedule a phone interview after "failing" the web-based interview. I also know that it's a timed exercise, so when you apply in January for the fall program, definitely make sure that you have enough time to complete the web interview without stopping - most places that use the Gallup personality profiler won't consider incomplete profiles, so your application was omitted by default.

Good to know for the future, though - you're asking the questions that will only help you later! Good luck!

I've failed it too :*( I think I did it right and only had an unanswered question that I couldn't do on time. Ohhh well till Fall next year!!!

Wow I am now officially scared of this so called "web interview." They didn't have it when I first did the program and now I want to do the program again but Im almost afraid to apply.

Don't be scared to try! The WBI is new for this semester. Disneyland CP has been using it for a long time. When you do it make sure you have the time to complete it as it is timed, and BE HONEST. Part of it is designed to fit you into a role and sometimes if the role you'd fit in best isn't available, you may "fail", but also if you don't answer the questions as they'd like them to be answered, you'll "fail" as well. But the most important thing about it is that you give honest answers =).

i wouldn't worry
actually, i know of an alumni who didnt even have to take the web interview after they completed the application so you might get lucky there!
but if you do, my advice is to read each question CAREFULLY (maybe even sit with a friend or someone who can help you read the questions b/c you'll be nervous and can easily read something wrong) and just answer it. the answer they're looking for is pretty obvious even though they say "be honest". i'm just trying to be honest with you lol
what i did is put "strongly disagree"/"strongly agree" for about 90% of the questions and did "agree"/"disagree" for the other 10%. i really didnt put any neutrals.
also, make sure to be consistent with your answers! they ask every question about 3 times with different wording so you just have to be really careful and cautious.

i took a lot of advice from other hopefuls before i took it and now here i am, accepted anxiously awaiting january!
good luck!
