Phone Interviews

Mine was exactly 10 minutes long, I think it went okay I did the best I could anyway and that's all I can hope for! They did say we'd find out within the next 3 weeks (which with all the bank holidays taken into account is probs gonna be first week of may I reckon) and that the f2f interviews are in the first week of June I think. And yeah, as others have said the positions are for Jan-Oct 2012

 

This is for only UK applicants, right? Yummy Jobs says Canadian applications for early 2012 begin in July. I'm not going crazy, am I?

 

Just UKers Nicole

 

Phew! Thanks! Got real worried there.

 

Hiya everyone

Had my telephone interview on Thursday n like everyone else says, it really is like a conversation!

I was in so much shock, that I'd actually got through to the telephone interview stage! I did ICP in 2008 and since then applied for CRP about 4 times, and never got through to the telephone interview, so I gave up, untill the other day, when I received the eimail! I was so happy, had to book the tele interview the next day! Lol! Has anyone else been in the same position as me? And did anyone graduate last year?

I would soooooo love to go back, it really is an amazing experiance, all the lovely people you meet!

Just wana wish everyone who has their telephone interview good luck, and you'll be fine just be positive, calm, and just think Disney!

Just a quick question for all of u who have already done ur PI's... When u were asked about ur hometown what kind of things did u chat about cause I'm not sure whether to state some fun facts or talk more about the architecture etc... Helllpppp please! X

 

I haven't had mine yet, but I think it could be a bit of both, like I am from Birmingham so I a few interesting facts about it and some historic moments and places. I am struggling more on talking about the cultures and values of the UK which is annoying as that is basically what the job is lol!

 

Oh I'm glad they're in the first week! Or at least I hope so! Going on holiday on the 18th of June.
I'm jumping way ahead of myself here... still got a to do the phone interview- on weds.
Glad yours went well!

I just rambled on about what there is to do in my hometown - Nick phrased it as "if I were an American coming to the Epcot pavilion and saw you were from Cardiff, what would you tell me to convince me to visit there?"

 

All you people who are saying that your interviews were only 10 minutes are freaking me out - mine was 19 minutes long
I guess it depends on the person who interviews you, though. At least that's what I'm hoping!

Oh, and anyone wondering what questions might be asked (by Nick specifically) - I did a post in my blog (link in signature) about what questions I was asked. There were a couple that I was unprepared for so it might be helpful

 

Has anyone else had Chloe yet?

 

Ooh I have nick on mon missish! What was he like? I can't access ur blog as my laptops broken and I'm on my bb.. Do u mind posting a few of the questions he asked u on here please? Sorry to be a pain! How do u feel it went? Good luck everyone I'm sure ul all be fine! X

 

I'm kind of wondering about the Canadian culture question. We don't really have a certain culture since we have so many different cultures put together. We're the mixing pot country! I'm not sure what to say when it comes to that question. I definitely know what I want to say about my home town but I don't know what to say about Canada as a whole. Should I just say that Canada's culture is a mixing pot? ???

 

Heyyy! I'm new to this, but oh my gosh I got accepted for a phone interview and I had Chloe!

have you had yours yet??

 

Hey everyone just wandering what everyone said about uk culture kinda confused On that question? Help v much appreciated x

 

Heyyy!

I know what u mean I was a bit like "huh?!" but I went on about the royal family LOL!!!

Have u had your interview then??

 

I wasnt asked about Canada culture i was asked what you want to tell the guests of Epcot about Canada. I spoke about explaining common stereotypes like pet beavers, living in igloos and speaking french and educating tourists on how we have dogs and cats, we live in houses or apartmetns and speak English and parts of our country speak french and then many speak both. Schtuff like that I wasnt asked about my hometown til face to face

 

Hmm. Maybe the interviewers already know that we don't have a set culture. But I think I'm good on talking about Canada's history and stereotype's. Thanks!

 

Kristen has been to Canada a few times now Also she is from Michigan which isn't too far from the border compared to some states.
But definetley talk about Canadian culture at a face to face, the interviewers from Disney may not know such stuff! I talked all about Petawawa and the Ottawa Valley in my face to face but wasn't asked so much in my phone interview.

 

I sent you the questions in a PM - hopefully they're useful for you! He was really nice, though, so there's nothing to worry about.
