Hey Everyone! My name is Shayna and I'm from Guelph Ontario Canada! I just had my phone interview a couple days ago with Nicola and will be going to Toronto for my face to face interview on March 6. This is my first time posting on these forums... well actually on any forums really lol But I felt like I wanted to get involved with everyone else who's applied to work at Walt Disney World and meet all you guys and whatnot. I'm sooooo nervous for this interview. Although I hear it's more like a "conversation" than an interview... i'm still nervous. I was so shocked to get a phone interview. When I called Nicola back I didn't even realize it was an interview... I just thought I was calling back to set up a time to do the face to face interview. Now i'm reading everyone's posts about phone interviews and i'm thinking oh my god I didn't even realize that was a phone interview. I feel quite silly now lol. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for the face to face interviews? I know this is a huge deal for all of us and it would be awesome if we could all share advice on what's ahead still. Has anyone had their face to face interview yet? And if so what was it like? Was it casual and friendly or scary and intimidating? lol I'm just so curious to know what i'm up against!!! Take care, good luck on the interviews! And I look forward to chatting to you all on here! Bye for now! Shayna
Hey congrats first of all, and welcome. Secondly I don't have any advice 'cause I have my f2f in Montreal on March 3 so I can't tell you anything about it yet. Thirdly I just wanted to say you may want to double check your date for Toronto. They may have added a second day or changed it since I got the information, but I was told that Toronto's interviews were going to be on March 5th. I'd hate for you to miss it by a day ya know?
Hi Shayna! I'm Stephanie and i'm going to be at the face-to-face interviews in Halifax on March 1st. I am also very nervous, but more excited! Sooo like Jorden I really don't have any tips for the interview, but good luck!
hi im pretty new to all this too!! just really want to a good british chap and wish everybody the best of luck
Hey! I had a face to face interview a couple of years ago, don't be nervous at all. I was SO nervous to the point I thought I was going to faint. But it really is just a conversation with the really nice disney representatives. I also have an interview in Toronto on March 6. I am actually coming back from disneyworld the night before. I am really excited for the interviews and really don't be too nervous, just remember big smiles and be yourself. Just have fun with it. Hopefully we will all get in!!! Here's hoping! Cheers, Emily
Awww thanks for saying hi you guys! This is all so exciting. I can't even imagine actually getting a job at Walt Disney World! Hey question though, what kinds of jobs do you think they offer to us? I mean I know you need certain qualifications and stuff, but do you guys have any ideas on what they usually offer? I mean honestly I could care less what I do as long as I get to work there but I guess i'm just curious Anyway, Take care everyone and good luck!! Shayna
hey shayna: fisrt no be nervous!!! i had face2face in octeber and was so nice!!! all of them are so friendly, i had a great time, just smile dont forget that if u are applying for international program (the one year long) they offer: merchandise, F&B and attraccions(if ur pavillon had attraccion of course) but canada had so , u dont need experience or anything like that, i was so nervous about it because i was just finish highschool and i dont have any experience, but they told me it wasnt a problem, anyway u had a training there good luck for all in the interviews!!!! XOXO :-* :-* :-* Ely :-* :-* :-*
They didn't tell you in your phone interview? Food and Beverage as well as Merchendise will start on a cart/kiosk. Then after a few months (I think 6 was the number I heard) you have an opportunity to get moved into either a restaurent or bigger store. Attractions have the 360 degree movie as well as kids crafts. I think that was all that she told me about (I didn't ask so I assumed Nicola was telling everyone on the phone about the options).
Hi Guys! I'm Medardo from Cancun Mexico. Don't be nervious at all about your face to face interview, that will be a great time for all of u, just remember always smile and let them know that you're so proud of your country, your traditions, your culture. I had my F2F interview on october, here in cancun, and that was really nice, first the recruitment team introduced theirselves to all of us, and they showed us a presentation about the job and living in florida, and things like that, i think i will never forget that moment. Obviously i was nervious, but you know, the guys of the recruitment team are really really nice, and they make you feel confortable, so just relax and be yourself. Now I got the job, I'll be in F&B at the mexico pavillion, and i'm leaving on feb 21st, so it's just 14 more days, i can't wait. hope to see u in orlando. Medardo
Hey Everyone--- I am from Northern Ontario about 4 hours north of Toronto. I had my phone interview a few weeks ago. Glad to hear people are getting their dates for their face-2-face interviews. Is everyone applying for the year long program? I have my interview on March 5th in Toronto - I am applying for the year long program myself.
hey!! ya i applyed for the year long program too. I live in Burlington, like half an hour away from Toronto. I'm so nervous, but reading all the discussions on this chat makes me feel so much better about it! Good Luck and see you in T.O in march!
Hey Stacie, Are you going to the face2face interviews in Toronto on March 5th? I have seen some people going on the 6th but so far I dont know anyone going on Sunday March 5th?!
Hey Shayna, and the rest I'm going to the Halifax interview on March 1st. I'm super excited -- I think the most important thing to remember is to SMILE and have lots of fun, but also be professional! I'm really nervous, but only because I really want this! I know I'd do a good job... Hope to see you all at Disney!! ETA: Does anyone know if you get a choice on when to go? I'd rather go in September than in December.
Hey Shayna, and everyone else, I had my F2F back in November and aced it. Don't be nervous, I was freakishly nervous and really really stressed on the days approaching my interview. Be yourself, smile and hand fun! I wish you the best of luck! I really wish I was able to go for those interviews, just to watch. :-[
