Hi all, I've applied to attend the program as a Canadian, but I had a few questions which I tried asking Eric but didn't get a response to. I was hoping someone here might know the answer. I'm just wondering when the program is set to begin. My degree will be completed this April, and I will have a convocation on June 7, 2006. I was hoping that I would be able, if accepted, to go on this program after that date. I was also wondering if I were to be contacted for an interview, when I could anticipate this correspondence? Since I live in Western Canada I will need to schedule the appropriate travel, and accommodations in the interview city. (I'm in Edmonton at the UofA). Also I was wondering if we need to be bi-lingual as Canadians as I speak no French. Thanks in advance if anyone knows the answers to these questions.
Hey, so as long as you pass the phone interview you'd have your face to face (probably) in march. Start dates from the spring interviews are usually between September and December, though I do believe there are a few last minute dates in the summer?........... In the UK I think after the phone interview you have to wait for a letter but everyone I've talked to in canada including myself just got invited to attend the interview on the phone right after the questions were done, so you'll know soon wheater or not you got through... No, you do not need to be bilingual, though I'm sure it would be a nice asset working in such an international place as WDW, but there are no needed skills to be able to do this program. Thats one of the best things about it Castaway is literally the NICEST company I've ever come in contact with, so if you ever have any questions just email or call them......but maybe wait untill aftre your phone interview. Have they sent you any response from your application yet?
Not yet, my concern was I e-mailed the first two questions to them yesterday, and literally got a response today thanking me for my application (which I had not attached at that point) and them pointing me to www.wdwcareers.com (where I found out about the program initially). As such I applied today and so far have gotten no response. Hopefully it'll be sooner than later. For the phone interviews do they just randomly call or do they contact you in advance to set one up? Thanks in advance. Also when they do call, if you had caller ID what showed up on the phone? I tend to get a lot of telemarkater calls for some reason on my phone (I'm a University student, I don't know how they got my number) and like to avoid those calls, but I wouldn't want to miss my Disney call. Any help would be appricated there (in other words I just talked to a telemarketer lol).
Don't worry if it takes a day or two for them to reply, I bet they're pretty busy right now with everyone calling with questions. For phone interview in the UK I think they schedule them but so far from what I've heard about canadians we all just get a call, unplanned. So after you get an email back from them reguarding your application be at the ready for a phone call!
Sounds great thanks. I wasn't expecting to hear from them soon but at the same time sooner is better... I will have to travel cross country to the interview if I make it that far lol.
