January Telephone Interviews

Sheepdemon- i thought exactly the same after mine, i am sure it went fine

 

Guess it's me next then  8)

Kept myself busy enough the past few weeks so haven't made myself nervous by thinking about it, but not sure I can keep that up for the next 3 hours!

For those of you that have already had yours and don't think it went well - I doubt many people come away from it thinking they're a cert to get the job so I'd try not to worry about it - chances are you did a lot better than you thought. I know it's easier said than done and I'll probably be the first to get down if I think I've screwed mine up - but anyway...!

Well, that's that over with   8)

My phone line was a bit crummy so I spent more of the time with a look of anxious concentration on my face trying to hear, than a smile(!), but I think it was OK. I don't think I did well enough to wow Alexis with my brilliance to such an extent that my name now has a big highlighter mark through it and an arrow saying 'must have', but I didn't give any stupid answers so I'd be really disappointed if I didn't make it to the next stage...

Last words were we'll be in touch in 4 weeks about the next stage - so unless this is a standard line or they regard being rejected as a stage I'm hopeful 

I asked about when the positions started, and she said there were some starting in June, if that makes any difference to anyone.

Good luck to the rest of you!

 

Hi Andrew and Sheepdemon

I guess we are in the same boat now!. Oh if only I could do it all over again! :-\ Im sure i could have done a much better job than I did!
I dont think I 'wowed' Alexis either. Im pretty sure that i'm on a 'maybe list'.

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement! :-*

Alexis asked me when I could start, I said July but I've found out that some relatives from America are coming over for a holiday then. Do you think if I made it to F2F I could change it to August?!?! ???
June is pretty early, some of the November interviewees aren't even going until August!

hey Nat hunny...don't worry about changing the date. I changed mine from June to November...hence the long wait for the F2F and Alexis was totally cool and very supportive of me. She made me feel like I had made the right choice by postponing, so I wouldn't worry.

Andrew...come on I just know we are going to be meeting up in March hehe - What with all your experience and everything.

And to sheepdemon...hehe great name, I thought I'd done terribly as well and here I am waiting for the F2F, so I'm sure everything went fine.

are the f2f's held in the same place every year?

is anyone else on here scottish?

 

Yeah as far as I was aware they are twice a year, in the same place. The Disney office in Hammersmith and also one on Scotland and one in Ireland.

I dunno if the other places are correct, but I'm pretty sure the one in london is the same

Yeh Jilly, am scottish From Edinburgh.

 

woooo hello!!

i love edinburgh!

have u had ur fone interview yet?

 

hehe - yay for Jillian....I'm glad you know someone who is in Soctland now - It'll be much nicer for you knowing that there will be someone you know

Still a shame about not being in the same f2f, but hopefully we'll all get jobs and meet each other over there

(wishing and hoping sooooo much right now!!)

Hi. I've been reading the board for a while now but I thought i'd post since I've just arranged my phone interview.

I'm so nervous.
Louise

 

Hi ya Kirsty!

Hi ya Louise, You have ur interview on the same day as me and exactly an hour after...argh scary! Are you hoping to do the college program or full 12 months!

To everyone with their interviews coming up, try not to get too worked up over it!

I spent the night before mine making out some notes based on the questions I'd seen on previous interviews, looking back through old posts on this board. I ended up with 2 pages of notes that I had out in front of me during the interview. I then spent the 15 minutes during the interview trying not to look at them! The worst thing is probably to sound over-rehearsed - they expect you to be a bit nervous, and it's best just to try and be natural about it.

If you weren't proud of your country, weren't enthusiastic or didn't really want to work for Disney you probably wouldn't have bothered coming on this site. Those are probably the 3 most important things they're looking for, so as long as you just tell the truth you should be fine....

Right you are Andrew...listen to everything he says

@Sam - I had my telephone interview last July and am waiting to hear about the F2F in London in March, so yeah I know I am through to the F2F, but it's still nervewracking waiting to find out when it will be

@Louise - Welcome and good luck with the interview. Tell us a bit about yourself - where you from etc?

Oh well my computer is fixed now so I can actually read what I'm writing hehe

Can't wait for March now....so excited and hoping to meet as many of you guys as possible
