at my interview i went to the wrong disney offices lol but i was mega mega early so it was okay and the guy there knew straight away i was for the interview and gave me really clear directions whereto go to.

The disney offices are awesome theres so much cool disney stuff there and they have themed board rooms as well.

when we interviewed we spent about 30 mins filling in application forms. then we went for the presentation. at the start they tested our knowledge on disney things and people who won got little prizes. at the end of presentation they gave out our names and who we would be interviewing with. then we all filed out to wait/interview. before going to the acutal interview michelle from yummy checked our forms were completed okay and we had all the right documents with us.

being lucky my interview was one of the very first

we interviewed in pairs with one of the disney staff. basically they took the first and second lot of interviewees up. 2 went into the office to interview and 2 waited outside.

during the interview she firstly double checked our names and our forms. then she asked questions back and forth so i got one and then the other person got one kind of thing.

after the interview we went out and the second lot went in and then we were walked back through the offices and out of the building and off home.

during the interview they asked us:
why do you want to work for disney?
tell me something interesting about your city
what would you say if someone asked you to describe your city
how do you feel you cope with change
how will you feel about living with people from a different country
describe a time when you'made a difference'
why do you want to work in f&b/Merch/HRC
how do you think you will cope with living away from home
what are you looking forward to most
what can you bring to disney as a company

and some other questions all along the same lines.

the whole thing took me about 3 3/12 hours to complete from start to finish. if you have like big bulky bags and stuff they have a cloak room where you can leave your things so dont be too worried about dragging a rucksack around with you.

you are also like 5 mins walk from the nearest tube station which has tonnes of little shops and places to eat and drink if u have a later interview and want to go out.

make sure you bring a couple of black pens to complete ya forms.

smile and be friendly form the moment you enter - you never know they could be watching (actually jason told us they were watching us from the start ??? )

when ur in the interview keep smiling, relax, and dont fold ya arms over yaself as that makes u appear less confident hehe

 

Anyone want to pick a time/place to meet up on the evening of the 12th and/or the morning of the interview on the 13th?
