This was what i received a few weeks ago from Y J Greetings and Happy Belated New Year! Thank you kindly for your online application for Disney’s Cultural Representative Program. Applications officially opened on January 5th 2011 and will close at midnight on February 28th 2011 – we’ve received an amazing (huge!) response already, so thank you for your interest! We have received an update from Disney on their recruitment plans for this year and next and we wanted to let you know a timeline for when you will be receiving a response to your application. Once applications have closed on February 28th 2011, just six weeks away (!), all applications will be reviewed throughout March 2011. You will receive an emailed response by approximately mid-April to let you know if you will be invited to the next stage of the application process or not. ALL applicants will be responded to so please check your junk mail in case any emails slip in there! The Disney Recruiters may be looking for applicants to start the program throughout 2012. Of course, as always we may have positions starting earlier than 2012 which will be discussed with you individually if you are invited to the next stage of the application process. This is great news as they may be looking to fill positions over a longer period and not just a few months! Applicants who are invited to the next stage of the application process will be given details at that time of the following stages and timelines, and any updates at that point. Best of luck with your application and we look forward to contacting you in the coming months!
This is probably jumping the gun, but assuming i got an interview, does anyone know what dates the interviews in London would be-that way i can book the time off (if i use it or not for an interview, depends on the good people at Yummy Jobs).
All I know is that they're gonna be in June. Judging by the last round of applications the interviews were on a weekend - so it could be any date in June! But I'm sure you'll find out indefinitely when you have your phone interview. Not too long to go now!
Yeah we were told the f2f interview dates during our phone interview. It may also have said in the email we received offering us the phone interview as well, I have a vague memory of that xx
Maybe I mis-read something, but isnt the crp a year long anyway? I would presume that would extend over a "few months"?
They mean the start dates could be spread over a longer period, rather than all being grouped together like the have done in the past ie Jan-june departures. This is good because we can only assume more people will get places as they've got a bigger date range to work with are therefore more positions to fill. Hope that makes sense Cazzie, how's life a la Butlins??
Oooooh, when you say it like that, it makes sense, gradual so not to be clumped up with to many people, just enough at the right time. ahh I get it Thank-you greatly for that =D Butlins is just fab, to be honest. I really think It's helping me prepare for Disney, better than if I hadn't of done this. I get into the swing of sharing a room, living alone, and working in a place where you just want to doss and lazy about. Its strange doesnt really feel like work, because I'm having fun? If that makes sense. I can only presume if I'm like this at a somewhat small resort (I'm situated in the smallest of butlins resorts xD) that when I get to a huge one like Disney, I'm just going to go mental with excitement xD PLUS I don't have a cooker anymore due to it being considered a fire hazard, so I'm gettnig used to not having one. Unless at Disney you have one, which case settling with never cooking and just living off team discounts at the resturants on and off site seems a bit of a waste xD
That actually sounds really cool prep for Disney. Did you talk about it like that in your application? I caved in to temptation tonight and went back for one last alteration of my CV and cover letter!
Thats my reasoning as well. It's why I've told myself I'm not to quit even when "The Butlins blues" hits me (I'm going to say its like the Disney blues, where your so homesick you want to just run home) and nope, I put Disney a side for the Butlins Interview. Just because My contract here finishes in November, so I want it to be my main priority, and work on Disney things as they happen. I mean I've told them now, because Its most certainly after November I will be leaving, so I'm not scared incase they ask me to leave, due to not being a "fully committed team player" (As my last job place accused me of being when I said I what I wanted to do) Ahahah I know that feeling xD As soon as I got to Butlins and had settled in, I rushed straight onto Yummy and was like "Butlins - bar staff" just to make sure they know xD It's so tempting to change things about it and I know I cant, because I'll cock up xD
