    So less than 2 weeks til the Jan apps close - how's everyone feeling? and more importantly who has started the whole checking your e-mails 10 times a day just in case process? Or is that just me? Hehe

    To stop myself going completely potty I have been working on my Disney bucket list just on the off chance I do get in

    I have pretty much forgot about it...I lost my job recently so had more pressing things on my mind which in a weird way has helped. When they get in touch, hooray! But until then there's nowt more that can be done so just gotta get on with the rest of life....not that I am any less excited to hear from the mighty powers of Yummy!

    I just can't stop messing around with my profile and CV/Cover Letter, so annoying!

    Well being in my final year of uni I'm totally swamped with tonnes of coursework deadlines. So despite being totally stressed out most of the time, it's kind of a good thing by taking my mind of the application.

    I'll be exactly the same as you Rob, checking emails loads come the end of March!

    I've never been more grateful that I'm working pretty much full time, cos its been so good for taking my mind off it and keeping me busy so I'm not dwelling or compulsively checking my emails for no reason!

    I'm a tiny bit anxious about them closing, but that's to be expected cos I'm just imagining them reviewing them all!

    Oh yeah this time next month should be a bit more nerve-wracking!

    ;D

    I'm in my final year of uni as well and yes you're right. my dissertation is taking over my life and it has taken my mind off the application. I haven't told anyone that I've applied either. Whenever my coursemates ask me if know what i'm doing next year yet, I pretend I haven't applied for any placements yet cos I don't wanna jinx it.

    My 3rd time too!!! How far did you get the last 2 times?


    Also, is anyone really tempted to go back and edit their cv / covering letter / motivation section etc now that apps are closing soon? I'm starting to be tempted......!

    yeah I am tryig to avoid last minute editing but the urge is strong :) Also as alumni I am not feeling confident - got phone interview last time but no further I honestly think if I maage to get to f2f I will get back out there its just getting to the f2f thats hard

    I've not touched it or even looked at since I wrote it. It felt right at the time and came from my heart (as horribly corny as that sounds!) so I'm just gonna roll with it and hope the genuineness comes across.

    I'm confident that if I can get the phone interview then I will have a solid chance. It's just that initial barrier of Yummy that gives me concern.

    Not to sound dim (but it will) What does alumni mean?

    People who have done the program before! :) I'm an alumni of the ICP but not the CRP :)

    I'm not particularly hopeful but I am starting work at Disneyland Paris next week. The stress of that is certainly keeping my mind off things. I figure if I don't get on the CRP program again I might just try to extend at Paris (if I like it)

    Getting me some f&b experience now!

    I have changed my profile but only to update my CV and change my availability date. Hopefully I'll be so stressed out with trying to speak French everyday enough of a distraction to stop myself checking my emails everyday!!!
