i've got some pretty frivolous questions... sorry!

I've lived away from home for 4 years now..

3 Years at university and the year I've already done at disney...

I've found its better to keep a close tab on what people are using and just make sure they don't take the piss kind of thing..I live with someone now who just uses all of our stuff when were not there and its really annoying, because they won't own up to it unless we catch them..But its a good job its only one person that does it, as it means we know who it is! They do take the piss though, so its a slightly different situation I guess!

As for chik fil a..Me and all my mates used to go alll the time, they even all got chik fil a tshirts as a joke! haha..I think its pretty much the healthiest fast food joint your guna come across really..As for the KFC, I can't actually remember where there is one in orlando, think the nearest one may be at one of the Malls? Think the closest one might even be the florida mall!

 

so i'll have to eat food like curry in a can just to ensure that people don't eat my stuff?!

 

Haha, its up to you really..

Normally writing your name on things puts people off..Coz there excuse for taking stuff is normally always..

"Oh I thought it was mine!"

Now you come to mention curry! I missed that so much when I was in america..So much so, I've learn't how to make one myself! Me and a mate went to an indian at the crossroads, and it was $25 each! That was for a curry and a naan bread and rice to share! So expensive!

 

Writing name on food - my friend wrote 'Rob's' on all his food and one of his housemates kept calling him Robs becasue of it hehe

 

Hahaha,

Too be honest, when I'm in america, I never really bother going to walmart or anything! I find its not worth the hassle and only works out slightly cheaper at all, I'll normally go and just get a snack from somewhere or go eat out...

 

True, i guess it's just about how much it costs to eat out, but if it's not that different then why not!

and i have another question!

i'm worried about what work experience i can put down, lemme show you here what jobs ive had:
2 years, two hours a week (or two classes) teaching at a drama school (selling uniform to parents as well, not just running classes!)
2 months, full time @ thorpe park (cash handling, till, customer service, temp job)
1 month, full time at a beauty salon (cash handling, till, customer service again, temp job)

and almost a years experience working in a shop on saturdays, however i am not legally working there because im not signed on or whatever it is, its cash in hand, so "legally" i dont do that job at all!
and thorpe park wasnt retail exactly, but i was in admissions so i was selling tickets in the kiosks every day... soo i dont know if thats worth putting?
and the beauty salon i was working on the front desk doing mainly till work from people paying for treatments as well as products like nail varnish etc. i dont know what to dooo... :'( what do i do???!!!

 

in my interview, i wasn't asked about my cv, but as with any other interview, you've just got to swing it round to what you're applying for.
e.g. with thorpe park you could say "it allowed me to gain valuable experience from one of the uk's biggest theme parks"

i don't know if that makes sense like i hope it would...basically make sure you're not just stating your roles, develop it a bit

 

ahh i see....! i'm just worried they'll look at my cv at the very beginning when you apply and not see a shop on there that i've worked at full time and be like nope, and chuck it straight in the bin!

 

Yeah, what matt said..

And I'd also put down any till work as.."Cash Handling"

Put the shop down anyway I think..You still doing it..I doubt the tax man's guna come knocking on your door coz you've put it on your disney application form..Thats valuable experience that could get you a merchandise position..

 

does yummy ask for a P45 from them though? as i won't have one!

 

Yummy have never asked me for a P45...

 

No they don't even check your references, if you want I'll send u a copy of my cv as an example? Won't have time to do that til wednesday but pm me your email and I'd be happy to help you out

 

done! and thanks for the advice guys

 

same applies with a covering letter...btw you may find yourself thinking you're well cheesy, but that seemed to work for me haha

 

is anyone kind enough to show me the covering letter they used? i've got a draft written up already but i wanna make sure i'm on the right track with what i've written!

 

if you wanna PM me your e-mail addy i'll wang it over
