Hey, I've applied for the CRP programme Sept-Dec 08, and I was just wondering whether the interviewers actually take into account the month that you say you would like to go? For example, I would like to go in September, and probably wouldn't be able to go if they offered any other month to me. Am I likely to be offered September if i state it? Thanks!
It all depends I guess. Where are you from? My guess is that it depends on when the other appliers can go, and when they need people. If you're from a country with few appliers, like me, you would be more likely to get to go when you want. I didn't have any jobs the last time i applied, so I could go whenever they wanted me to go...
I'm from the UK, I'm currently in my last year of University and have applied to do a Masters programme starting October 08, however if I get the Disney job then I can defer the Masters until 09... At the moment though, i'm thinking Disney is a better option than yet more education!
At the interview you can put on the application the earliest you can start, and the latest. Then, if you are offered a role, they will try to make it as close to those dates as possible. I think that's what happens anyway.
