    You have to have a phone interview and if you pass that you get a face to face. The will usually contact you be email or telephone to organise a telephone interview, so you will be contacted about a telephone interview before.

    This is the process for UK Cultural Program applicants (the year long one at your countires pavillion in Epcot), but for ICP and other countries it may be different.

    It may be that they have simply filled all the spaces for the UK phone interviews and so they are deaying applicants...I'm not sure, but obviously it depends where you are from.

    Hope this helps

    Hey, I got the same response and was rather confused by it too. Supposedly they'll just randomly call within the next couple of weeks, so I'm anxiously awaiting it :) Sorry I can't help you much, but good luck when they do!!

    That is strange and confusing, seems like the applicants in england it differently and the ones in Canada not too sure how this goes! Hopefully we will hear something soon...gettin anxious now! Do u guys know of anyone that applied but didnt get a response at all cuz maybe its the ones that are goin for the interviews that get the responses by email!
     
  6. Careful though, they won't for sure schedule a phone interview.
    I was told by email "see you in October" for the face to face interview - no mention of a phone interview.
    But then about 2 weeks later they called one morning for an impromptu phone interview, so be ready!

    Ah...guess it's quite a lot different than over here then. I think I'd be more nervous not knowing, but at least then you don't wait around just before panicking!!

    I'm sure you'll all do really well and good luck hope you hear soon

    Thanks tessa..that is helpful information! Did u get through?
     
  9. sure did! Start on March 28th :D
    The interview process was long and while waiting to get called after my face to face I nearly went insane.
    There were a few days where I was unable to get dressed I was so nervous, it controlled my life. I would just lie n bed all day with my cell and my house phone beside my pillow lol.
    But then I got the call and all is good :) (except for now I'm getting so home sick already lol, 2 months before I even leave!)
    The long interview process makes it all the more special though, it really feels like an honor too be cast :)

    Tessa,what kind of questions they ask on the phone interview?

    Take Care

  11. I don't feel comfortable saying the actual questions but it's TOTALLY easy, just basic "why do you want to work for us" "why should we hire you" questions. I had one behavioural question and then some about canada. Don't sweat it, just pre-interview prepare yourself. Spend some time to think about why you love your country and why you want this oppertunity.

    I have had a phone interview before, my main tips are just be calm and realxed just be yourself, thast what there looking for they want you to shine your personailty down the phone, enjoy it it's and experience in itself remember its a phone interview so you cant express things through gestures so remember to explain clearly waht your trying to say, and think about the question  ;D Good luck guys and gals im rooting for ya :D
