applicants who wanna go out summer 2012

I'd say keep it quite short and sweet, mine was less than an A4 page. But make it interesting, and get straight to the important points. Also, check it thoroughly! I got through, and it was my first time applying. But when I read of my CV and letter that I attached to it, I'd put my date of birth as 2010! And there was a few repeated words etc, so I consider myself very lucky. I think (I may be wrong) there is a Covering Letter help section on the Yummy website, I'm not sure though.

 

Thanks a lot. That's really helped.

Fingers crossed!

 

Hey all!
I'm hoping to go out in the summer of 2012 too. Sometime past April would be great since that's when I'm graduating college but I don't know when to apply!

 

On the Yummy Jobs website it says that recruitment for Canada is now closed.

It will reopen in July for positions starting early 2012. If you go to http://www.yummyjobs.com/opportunities/programmes/15/disneys-cultural-representative-program/ you'll be able to see it there at the bottom of the page and then keep checking back as they will update it from time to time.

 

But what does it mean by "early 2012" as in month? I want to sign up for the summer of 2012. I can't go down until April. Do I just mention my preference for the summer in the application I send? ???

 

Well when you do your application it does ask you for your availability, so you can put an actual date. Ie I'm free from 1st July 2011 or whatever it is. An email closer to the time (maybe in June before the applications open again?) to Yummy Jobs would confirm whether you should apply then or wait until the next round of applications.

You can register and fill out your details on the website at anytime!

 

Hey guys!

I'm finishing uni in the june/julyish time of 2012 and really hoping that I can get onto the CRP for around that time. Does anyone know whether applying in the next round of applications will enable me (if I'm lucky enough to get through) to go around that time or have I missed the boat and will have to try for a later start?

Thanks

 

if your from canada ..

i emailed kristen last week she said that apply in july for positions starting in january - july 2012 !

hope that helps some questions !!

 

What about for the UK? Anybody know?

 

The UK applications that have just closed are for start dates throughout the whole of 2012, so I'm afraid you have missed out for 2012 start dates. The next round of apps will be for start dates in 2013- and the yummy website states that those apps will open at the end of the year.

 

Yummy havent actually said this load of applications is the only one for 2012 - they may still recruit for latter part of the year in the next round of applications

I would persoally e-mail or call YJ and ask when will the apps be reopened and what dates are they likely to be for - YJ may not have an answer tho as ultimately they do as they are told by disney and disney has changed a lot of the info for us Jan apps already

 

Pinkspideruk, that's what I was thinking. I actually did email YJ before I was wondering about the dates situation, I just emailed for some basic information. The reply I got said something along the lines of that the apps that had just closed were for 2011 and that when the apps reopen they will be recruiting for 2012. So who knows?! haha. It's getting rather confusing!

 

I think it would really help for them to make things clearer for you guys- I'd definitely give them a call just to be sure. Based on what they've told us about the waitlist though and what they'd put previously I think they're talking about 'recruitment seasons' rather than start dates just to cover the possibility that they may still offer you guys a few places at the end of this year. So the current thing they are doing is the '2011 recruitment season' i.e. the only recruiting they are doing in 2011 where they are primarily recruiting for places starting in 2012 but they haven't sorted out dates for oct-dec 2011 yet. We've been told they may recruit from our waiting list first, but depending on how many people they need there may possibly be places left over, which they would assumedly offer to those successful from the 2011 application round. And then I'd assume they'd do the same next year, because the way the economy is at the moment Disney can't predict how much staff they'll need as far in advance as they used to, which is why I'm surprised they're doing a whole year's recruiting in one go tbh.

Hope that made sense- I have a tendency to go on a bit! But like I said, only yummy (maybe not even them) know for sure so don't take what I said as the truth- give them a call to be sure.

 

Hey im new to this discussion board!!

Hey Guys!

I want to appy for either January or July 2012 (arrival to Orlando dates).

Do you guys know if I can still apply to go on january 2012? Because I would be in less trouble with my parents and university if I leave in January rather than in July!

Thank you!

 

Hiya Karla - unfortunately unless you're already in the applications process then it's unlikely you'd be able to get a place starting in January 2012... however, there's a chance you could apply on the next time they open applications (end of the summer apparently) and try to get a place for next summer. It's all rather confusing at the moment (as this thread shows!) and we don't really know for definate when you can apply to get a certain month!

 

Hi i'm Ali from Birmingham and new here hoping to apply as soon as they open the applications. Just thought id pass on what they'd emailed me as well as it seems we are all getting mixed bits of information.

''We have now concluded recruitment for positions starting in 2011, however we welcome you to apply for the following programs later this year!

To be considered for any of the above programs, please do visit www.yummyjobs.com in July of this year for more information on the application process.''

hope this helps

 

hello all, same here, looking to go out 2012 if possible. As ~ali~ has pointed out, the website does say for 2012 apply in July, which i assume will go ahead as planned.

How long on average is the application process for CRP is it any longer than ICP?
