Hi all I applied on Sunday and I got an email back today from Alexis saying 'We will review your application with great interest and will be in contact in 8 - 10 weeks' Is this a bad thing? Most people seemed to have got an email within a few days arranging a phone interview. I must be a 'maybe' for the phone interview. Nat xx
Hey Nat don't worry about that as its a standard email they send to everyone. The length of time between applying and having a phone interview all depends on what time of year u apply. As the face to face interviews you will be attending if successful are not until March 2006 they will not be rushing to have ur phone interview as soon as possible so don't panic and just be patient, the application process takes a very long time!!!
Hi Nat, I got that from Alexis as well, and then another email from Jason - the interview I Had with Jason yesterday wasn't even about Disney so don't worry - Jason told me on the phone yesterday that they are concentrating on the November interviews and then they will start planning the March ones. Nothing to worry about whatsoever. Nat xx
Hey Princessnat, Don't worry it might be that the Nov interviews are full now so they will contact you when the nov interviews are over and all us that are going out there in Dec, once that is all out the way you will get a call i'm sure. Did that make sence?? lol Helen xx
thanks Helen, that does make perfect sense! ;D Not long to go for you now! I bet you cant wait!. All your friends are already out there arent they? x
Yep, my little TGI group are all out there with exception of Izzy and me who both fly out on 6th Dec!! Only 8 weeks and 6days to go - not that I'm counting tho lol. I've just come bk from a week in Greece and now thats over it just seems to be getting closer and closer Don't worry about not going to hear anything till the end of the yr, I started this whole thing about this time last yr and I got through to the Feb interviews so b4 you know it you could be out there with us So what is it that you are applying for?? the IP? Helen x
Hi Helen. I've applied for the 'Cultural Representative Program'. Thats the one where you stay for a year isnt it? (I hope so or ive applied for the wrong thing lol!) Is there any reason why you are flying out in December? Did you have commitments Sept - Nov or is that just the date you were given? (sorry for being nosy!)Â :-\ I just wondered if telling them you have a few commitments lowers your chances. I have a couple of things going on in June and July 06 which I would prefer to be around for, but if the choice was those things or go to Disney - obviously Disney will come first! Love Nat xxÂ
Hey, Dec was just the date they offered me, I was a bit gutted at first as most ppl I know from here got Sept departure dates. I didn't have any commitments I work full time but nothing else planned. I don't know if it has anything to do with a lot of ppl are students and will be wanting to get bk to uni in Sept, where as me I don't have that to come bk to (just to find another job... :-\) I'm pleased about it in one way coz I have another 3 paydays b4 I go!!! so I can take a little more with me One thing I'm gutted about is that one of my best/longest friends is getting married nxt Aug so I will miss that, she understands but this kind of thing does not come up that often so had to take it. All my girl friends have been warned to take their mobiles to the wedding (turned off in church only) and I will be on the phone asap so I can be with them in some way lol Helen xx
Hi Helen I know how you feel. One of my friends is getting married in April 06 and the other in July 07. If im lucky enough to go but i could miss the July 07 wedding.  Hopefully she will understand. Its a shame your TGI group all didnt fly out together in September but at least you and Izzy will arrive together. Plus im sure there will be a huge welcome party when you two arrive ! ;D Ooh by the way, should I reply to Alexis email? x
Hey Disneynat, I would reply just to show your intrest, just say thanks for her email and you look forward to hearing from her when they review your application. Let us know if you reply and if you hear anything. Helen xx
Hi guys I got an email from Alexis, saying that they are impressed with my CV and will contact me in January for a phone interview! Yippee! and if im successful in the phone and facetoface interviews i will fly out in September 2006. Thanks for all your advice Helen, and i did reply to her email like you suggested. Am very nervous about the phone interview now!. At least i have a few months to prepare myself! ;D Nat xx
Nice one!!!!! Belive me the time will fly, I can't belive I started this sooooo long ago but it only seems like a couple months. Good luck Helen xx
i got my 8-10 weeks email through today too. i sooooooooooooooooo hope i get a fone interview. how many fone interviews do they do, does anyone know??
While I'm not sure of the exact amounts, I'm sure the majority of people get through to the phone interview. Good luck! KC
