Face to Face Interviews!!!

Haha that's whats keeping me going.

If anyone knows; how far away from Hammersmith could we stay and it not be a panic the next morning? Is it okay to trust the tube?
I've never been on my own before so it's a bit daunting

 

Aw u stick with me girl !! Ill get us there. The tube is busy mergh...But its all about fast pace walking ! I know the underground very very well . urm...Ill have a look now. But there prob some places in hammersmith ! U got me on FB now so inbox me through there also ! x

 

To be honest it was all a bit of a blur. You all have an arrival time, you'll fill in a little bit of paper work, and then have a presentation held by the Disney recruiters. It's really fun, you get to answer questions and win little rewards - I've gotta admit I was so nervous and had such a numb bum I didn't put my hand up at all. You then get given a time slot, and you can do what you want to do until that time slots arrive, then you turn back up and have your interview with someone else.

I felt the questions were very similar to the phone interview questions, just more indepth; it's in a flowing conversation and the time limit isn't as strict as it is on the phone interview

 

hey there is a holiday inn or premier inn thingy really near and another one just along the road, one i booked out and the other is like over 100 quid. Im trying to get in to a b and b nearby

 

did anyone from the phone interviews not get in???????

 

I stayed at a Travel Lodge, they're cheaper than Premier Inns, I can't remember where it was but it was in the £70-£80 price range, it was really close though, I got a taxi because I didn't know the way and didn't wanna risk getting lost and being late, but that only cost £7

 

no they send you an email either way

 

Hey guys, I got F2F for the Friday, but i'm so worried because I don't know if I can get the day off work. I put a holiday form in when I had my phone interview (i know bit earll) but wanted to make sure I can go and the holiday has not yet been confirmed. I know there is interviews on the Saturday so do you think I could ring Chloe and see if I can go on the sat?
Also I'd love to meet up with people before, calm our nerves a bit if we get to know each other!!!!

 

Anyone else having trouble with the online app? I started fillung it out and got to the employment section bt its suddenly stopped working!!

 

So many people had problems with this last year! I did. I can't remember how to get around it now. If you really can't, just email Yummy, on the interview dates there were people who filled in the application forms in pen due to problems with it.

 

I completed it, make sure you're using internet explorer! But it took me AGES because of all the employment history to do!

As for the debate of going down on the day vs. staying there... I've travelled up on the day for both my previous ICP interviews and it was relatively stress-free... just book a train/bus which gets you there in plenty of time for the interview. Hammersmith is pretty easy to get to but a heads up for those going on the Saturday: The CIRCLE and DISTRICT lines will be suspended that weekend! I looked it up on the TfL website so make sure you plan your tube trains to use the Picadilly or Hammersmith & City lines

My train gets into London just after 8am and I've only got to go a few stops on one line from Paddington to Hammersmith so I'm hoping there's no delays and it will be fine If you're travelling from further away it's worth considering staying tho. Although Bristol is 2 hrs away, it's a commuter route so it's not too bad.

OH, and before I forget - the Disney HQ has two entrances! People on the Friday will be fine but people on the Saturday have to take note that the front entrance will be closed (well, it was last time I had an interview on a Saturday there!) and I ended up walking a couple of times round the building to find the back entrance but it is there, just near the entrance to the bus station if I remember rightly? Can anyone confirm this who can remember?

 

Give them a ring, I'm pretty sure people asked them last year and they okayed it

 

Aww thanks. Ill ring them Tue because there probably not there over the weekend now. I defo wont be letting this oppurtunity slip, 3 years I've applied ha. Hopefully ill get the time off and all will be ok, just hope it's not first come first serve and if I let them know after tue Ill be ok. It says let them know before the 6th so should be ok.!!!!

 

Just wanted to say congrats from Canada! I'll be applying in July for 2012. Hopefully I'll end up in the same boat as you guys! Good luck on the interviews! Sending lots of pixie dust your way!

 

Oh Ive got an interview too on the Saturday! Think I'm going to travel up on the day, but try and do a trial run before as I have no clue where i'm going haha! SOOOO excited though, Congrats to everybody else who has got through also! Look forward to meeting some on you on the 4th of June x x x Lauren x x x

 

Hello everyone,

Just getting onto a computer, just wanted to say congratualtions to everyone that got the F2F, i know it may be easy to say as i was told the same thing, but dont be nervous about the interview. It is more like a general chat than an interview and the people we had were really nice!!!!

I stayed the night before as i had to travel up from the south coast, and didnt want to get lost or stuck in traffic, i stayed in the Premier Inn, It was about £100 but was so close we walked to Disney HQ. Although hopefully you will have nicer weather than we did, it was awful, rained all day, and i looked like a drowned rat when i got there.

If anyone wants any information about the F2F, then please ask, we have been there, and if I can help someone else fulfil a childhood dream i will be happy. Anyway i am on Facebook if u wanna ask anything (Samantha Scott) I am friends with Rob (disney dude).

Speak soon and congratulations again, xx

 

Hey everyone, I'm Kathryn form Newcastle, I didn't want to introduce myself earlier incase i jinxed myself! I have an interview on the 3rd, I'm so happy! It's my 21st on the 2nd and i'll be in Disney (ironically) haha, but looks like i'm going to have to interrupt my holiday so i can pop to london to get to the interview! I was debating on whether to arrive the night before the interview, which means missing valuable Disney time, or get eurostar super early on the morning of the 3rd which could be a bit risky! either way, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone who has interviews on the 3rd and i'm super excited to see the Disney headquarters!

 

Hi there just wondering if you know how long it takes from the F2F to then finding out if you get the job ??? xx
