For those of us on standby...

availability seems like the most obvious answer....Some people at my interviews could leave straight away so they got immediate start positions from the standby list....I guess from people who have dropped out or been terminated!!

I don't think so. I interviewed in October and was available right away but my start date was August!!!! I know they had start dates in December.

hey,

Long time no speal ellen! hope your good?!

Availability doesn't count for much i don't think cos they knew i wasn't available till after my exams (i put september) and they called me out in july (originally june but they moved it). when i got my paper work through i saw that the person who i replaced had a surname beginning with SCO and mine begins with SCA so i think it is just for ease of paperwork! thats my opinion anyway!

Keep ur chin up guys cos they can call and want u out without warning! lol

Thanks Bry, there's still a tiny glimpse of hope. I'm trying to keep away from this site for my own state of mind but as you can see I still need to check it! Your case is a fantastic sign that miracles do happen, let's just hope Ellen and I can get in yet! Someone please drop out for Dec 6th for me! lol!! As if anyone would!! :

save room for me! someone drop out from canada so i can go!

 

hey guys i was on the wait list and they rang on the 13 april and offed me a place for the summer so all the best and i hope u get to go ill let u no what it like and u never no they still might call
xx

 

Just remember that with the notice they tend to give, it could be as late as august before they call u! dnt lose hope guys cos if they didn't want you they wouldn't have made u maybe's!

 

that's what my mom said grouchy. lol. she said that they probably won't call til like july or august, right when it's really close to departures. people will drop out at the last minute and they'll need someone to fill in, and i'll be right there ready to go! haha.
low>>what country will you be representing?

 

drop out? why would anyone drop out???
I don't get it, they apply for the job, send in an application, go to the interview (in some cases, two interviews), wait for weeks, even months to get a departure date, and then they drop out. .....some people are just weird

 

maybe something else better comes up for them and they'd rather do that then go to disney. also family situations or whatever. lots of reasons! but i agree, who would drop out!?

 

I am sad to hear such story,i do nto wish to be on this stand by.

phil, it's better than a flat out no, right! something will come up!

 

Amber, since you are from Canada, they could call you all the way pretty much up until the day before the west coast interviews...usually late October...so you don't have to give up hope for a while yet!!! In that time, contact them about reapplying!

Shan

 

done and done shan! i'm keeping in touch with eric from cast-a-ways (the guy who does the hiring here) and getting info on some stuff. i might fly to vancouver in the fall to reapply, but if i don't or don't get in then i'm definately going to toronto for the other interviews

 

I did the fly out west thing and got hired from there.

 

they should hire you! you spend all that money so you can spend 15 mins with someone and then get nothing? that's not right!
