Application Timeline

Hi everyone
Just wondering what the average timeline is between sending your CV and getting to know if your off to live with the mouse!

So far im at:
7th Oct - sent CV and got standard email reply
21st Oct - Alexis rang to organise phone interview
24th Oct - Phone Interview

I guess its after monday that the waiting begins?!

 

They should let you know pretty soonish if you have a place in the f2f interviews, usually about 3 or 4 weeks afterwards, and if you get through i assume (can someone back this up?) that you will be in the February round of interviews, and if you pass that you should be getting out there some time towards the end of 2007.

I might have some info wrong - feel free to correct me!

hiya, i think the next f2f ints. are in March not sure though.

 

Well I originally sent my CV in in June 2003 but was asked to resend it later on in the year as they where phone interviewing for the march/june 2004 departures and I couln't leave till july.

I resent my CV in October 2003, had a phone interview a week later, heard that I had passed that about 2 weeks later and that I had got through to the February/March interviews.

Im leaving on December 6th so ive had quite a long wait but im sure it's worth it ;D

Id imagine if you get through to the february/march interviews then you will be more than likley to leave in September or December, or if you get waitlisted you could get out there anytime after your face to face if someone else drops out

 

i sent my cv in november 04, knew i was keaving march 10th 05

 

long time ago... don't know if it helps?

December 2000 - sent CV
February 2001 Telephone Interview
March 8th 2001 - Face to face
May 21st 2001 - find out i got the job!
Oct 3rd 2001 -Start contract

longest 10 months of my life!
Good Luck

 

yeah, it can be long!

here is my timeline...
January 31st 2005 sent in CV, was told I would be contacted in summer for they wern't doing any vancouver interviews untill november
August 14th 2005 resent cv because I was impatient
August 16th 2005 got email saying they would be contacting me within a month for the November Interviews
August 31st 2005 got called for my impromptu phone interview and was invited to the November 18th Interview!!!

now I have 24 more days to wait............

 

I didn't get in the first time I applied, so it actually took me two years.

August 2001 - Sent resume for first time
January 2002 - Phone chat (won't call it an interview as she only asked three yes/no questions!)
February 2002 - In person interview with the Cast-a-way crew
March 2002 - In person interview with the Disney reps
April 2002 - Found out I was being considered, then a few days later found out I had been waitlisted
Summer 2002 - Called Cast-a-way to go to west coast interviews in the fall (reapplied)
October 2002 - Flew out to Vancouver for in person interview with the Disney reps
December 2002 - Found out I was being considered
January 25th, 2003 - Got "the call" with my leaving date
August 6th, 2003 - Arrived in Orlando!!!!
July 31st, 2004 - Tearful goodbye and flight home.

Took forever, but was well worth the wait and would do it all over again in a second!!! Be patient. Your time will come and you'll feel like you waited forever to get there and it will be over in the blink of an eye.

oooh you had two face to face interviews? I didn't know we did Cast-a-way and then one with Disney Reps! Do they still do this, it's the first I've heard of it?

shannybunany, you did have to wait a long time! I'm glad it was more than worth the wait ;D

 

my timeline updated!

had phone interview today, and got asked to november 12th face to face in london!

 

hey congratulations and welcome to the gang ;D you up for TGI's meal on the Friday night? I'm sure you will have seen all our posts!

 

ooooooooh you're lucky you don't have to wait too long! Some people here have had to wait 6 months + for their face 2 face! Thats awesome, congrats!

 

Just thought i'd post here and say I guess i'll have all this waiting to do as well!

I am going to apply very shortly! I finish University around July next year, so I am really hoping to take part in the Cultural Representation Program after I graduate! I am a massive Disney Fan, visited Disneyland, Anaheim for the first time this year for the 50th Anniversary, and a regular visitor to Disneyland Resort Paris, usually about 4 trips per year! Not been to WDW since '93 unfortunately, but this would certainly change that

Should be around here a bit from now on look forward to getting to know you all better

Colin

 

welcome Colin! Do you live in France then?
Thats great you've gotten to spend so much time at the parks! jealous!!! hee hee
Look forward to talking more!

 

Hi y'all

I flumped it last year due to unforseen personal reasons, so I jumped back on the horse and applied again... Think I emailed my CV in November last year again, then I had my phone interview with Alexis bless her - she's sooooo nice, and now I'm just waiting with the rest of you guys for the F2F interviews on November 12th in London aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!!! I still need to sort out some accomodation for stop over in london yet, and hopefully I'll meet up with ya all at TGI's in Covent Garden if that's ok??? :

Well... Good luck to everyone else who's in the process... It'll be worth it!!

@ Colin - welcome to the boards and good luck with ur application

@ Will - course you can join us for TGI's, the more the merrier! Oh yeah and accomodation wise try and get booked in at the Hammersmith Novotel as thats were quite a few of us are staying and its very close to the disney offices apparentl, cant wait

 

Hi Tessa,

No I am in the UK, But Eurostar has made Europe a lot smaller I have a Passeport Annuel Dream, and tend to get my moneys worth out of it! Biggest expense is usually accomodation, but I stay in the on site Holiday Inn which is great value for money, hence why I can go so often

Colin

 

well the second i found i failed my phone interview in july i resent my cv immediately and i was told to send it again in January. Is there a reason for this??

Finally, feels good to be back!

 

Hey Again...

Well... speak t'ya all real soooooon!
