ATTENTION ALL UK JAN 2011 CRP APPLICANTS

as long as you submit your CV/cover letter by the 15th you will be fine

 

That IS weird. I can't believe I didn't really think about that before! Even if we don't all get to spend a year together, there's still a chance we could at least meet at the F2F interviews

 

At my last interview we went to lunch while we had to wait for the interviews and it was only 6 months into my year that I realised I had gone for lunch with my room mate on that day!!!

 

A lot of us went to dinner the night before
and you kinda forget you did as well, and then at some point throughout your year
your kinda like

we went for dinner together in london! hahaha

 

Yeah, there were two meals to coincide with the two interview dates. I think I went to the day before you. I think Daz was at mine... and Matt and Lee I think...

 

Haha
Daz and Lee and Matt was at mine, i was sat opposite lee, and next to matt, then there was a guy called kevin at the endd of the table adding loads of straws together haha

 

Then we were definitely at the same meal. Park...did you join us for lunch between the interviews too? Buckers and Grimey were there. OMG I can't believe almost a year after the program this is still happening hahahaha.

 

Hahaha, no i had my interview on the friday
but we had the meal on the Thursday night?

Ahaha as if!!

Were you the person who left early? from the evening meal?

I think i remember

aaaah

 

I was at that meal too, sat right opposite Kevin when he was doing the straws things - very weird to think that all that time has passed and here we are applying again!

 

or even by the 28th Feb according to YJ - this from their website:

Applications are open from January 5th 2011 to February 28th 2011. We are currently accepting applications for positions primarily starting in the latter half of 2011 and early 2012. Applications will be reviewed in March 2011 and all applicants will be responded to by early April 2011.

 

is it not meant to be a lot sooner this time - who said that?? Hmm i hate all this confusion, oh in fact I have asked for confirmation from Yummy when I think about it.

 

I just literally saw that on the YJ website now, tonight, so they must have put it up there recently.

I didn't think it'd be that long either but I guess it is...

You'd think they'd close it sooner, not later though wouldn't you, seeing as how they've already filled some of the positions in our date range.

???

 

yeah that wasnt there an hr ago, i think they are just saying that to 'cover themselves' incase it takes longer than it should. I wonder what it was that was different this time in terms of disney and places?????

 

Hmm yeah they must have changed it so once again there is an overlap, we can get places in early 2012, which is really when the next lot would be getting places. Waiting till april though - hadnt prepared myself for that! I hope the reason is not that all the applications they got were not good enough - because they now will be flooded with applications. Sorry for saying that I hope it is not the case but OH MY GOD!

 

I give up trying to second guess YJ and Disney, I've been at this too long now not to realise that they do their own thing in their own time!

Maybe I'll go and bury my head in the sand somewhere until mid-March early April??

Oooooh I don't like it! :'(

 

Well at least we can relax a bit. If I know we are unlikly to hear anything for a few months then I can put it to the back of my mind for a bit.

It is really anoying though. Also on the up side, those of us who do geat a job later or maybe 2012, we will catch a better glimpse of the Princess land being buit at MK! ;D

 

the thing i dont like is im putting my life on hold - but i suppose its worth it but still :S

 

Suppose they just got a lot more applications than they expected? That thought makes me more nervous than anything else really. Because with a large variety of applications they can be picky and with people with CV's that look as useless as an overcooked spinach leaf, Like mine, usually dont get through.

 

dont say that you never know who they will pick

 

What date did you guys put on the application for availability???

I put September 2011 so I don't think the new dates have affected me.
