Telephone interview for early 2011

Hey guys.

I'm new to this, been following the forum for a few days and thought it's about time I signed up and got to know you all.

My name's Dan ;D

Just had my interview with Hannah - same news as everybody else, she was lovely. Makes you feel at ease! There really is nothing to worry about. Think I did okay but only that email will tell!

Here's to wishing everybody here will make it to WDW 2011.

 

Hey Dan!

Welcome to the boards! I'm Garyb congrats on getting a phone interview, and glad it went ok for you

 

Welcome Dan - I'm Ellie

For you guys worried about rambling on a bit dont - it jsut shows you are able to chat confidently and keep a conversation going. When your out there no matter where your working you have to be able to strike up conversations with guesst randomly. When I was on podium as a seater if we had a lull we were often sent out into th street to talk to people, see if the kdis fancied a game of hoscotch, handing out stickers etc for all that you have to be confident with talking to people so I reckon rambling a bit isnt too bad! And they expect nerves so they expect a few ums and ahhs and the occasionally slightly awkward pause as you try to remember what you have just said

 

Hi Dan, welcome to my lifeline lol these boards really are keeping me going through the wait for emails.

Glad to hear you did ok on the phone interview....I'm sure you'll do great as it went well.

Good luck for the rest of the process x

 

i just had my interview with hannah, i think it went ok but i was sooo nervous which was probably really obvious lol! i think i rambled a bit...

 

Eeeeeeeek!!!! I have a phone interview. Yay!!! I'm so excited.. I just ran into my living room jumping up and down. I haven't even looked at time slots.. oh I have never felt so excited about an interview in all my life.

 

haha i was the same!

congrats on the phone interview
let us know when you choose your date for, and also if you could let us know the latest date on the list so we have a vauge idea of when they finshh so we have a better idea of when we may hear back

 

Yey!! Good luck for the interview and enjoy yourself

 

Just been told i've been selected for a phone interview!

There aren't any slots available atm it says, but i emailed Kirsten earlier as rules at my job mean i'm not allowed my phone for alot of the time =/ so fingers crossed all is well!

anyone already had their interview? what kind of things did they ask?

best of luck to everyone going through the interview/selection process+ everything right now!
xx

 

Thanks guys.

I have my interview tomorrow 10:15. I'm sooo sooo nervous. My pure excitement has turned into pure nerves. I need to man up lol.

 

Good luck, what was the latest date and time you could select, just gives an idea of when we might all hear back, last year they found out on the tenth of October, but if they are still conducting interviews on the ninth i suspect we won't hear any earlier than the 13th giving them the weekend to work on it, it may even be as late as the end of next week - unless they have a system of a yes, maybe and straight no policy as they conduct the interviews. Then it's a case of just going through the maybes at the end of the process and adding them to the yes's! Not sure how it works!

Agh this waiting is killing me more than i thought it would

xx

 

Thank you

I think the 10th was the latest.

There were loads of times available when I picked mine.

 

Ah the tenth is highly unlikely to hear back by then. At least you won't have too long to wait to find out

x

 

Yeah, I'd imagine you'd start hearing back between 13th-17th.

 

Urg. If the last interviews are taking place on the 10th, they'll need the week of 13th-17th to sort through them. Yummy's office isn't open over the weekends, so they won't be able to think things through until the 13th. If we're lucky, we might hear by the middle of that week, but I won't hold out hopes. I was really really hoping to hear that week, I still don't know if I'll be able to get the time off work. :S

 

I think they will have started sorting them already - prob into definite yes and defintie no and then the maybe we will see how many spaces we haveleft pile

 

I would think as the interview is going on they makes notes as to whether or not a yes or no is the probable outcome, so they have a rough idea of who is going through even as the remaining interviews are being concluded. Then that way it's less work at the end, otherwise surely they would have to reconsider every single phone interview again - rather than just looking at key notes. Especially as in the past some folks have been offered a F2F during their interview. Again i guess we'll never know how they do it, just got to remain patient and somehow get through the dreaded wait, they did say middle to end of September, i just got a little bit eager when i saw last year they were told on the 10th. I wonder why it's different this year.

Does anybody know what date the deadline for applicants was last year? Was it still the 6th?

x

 

They never really had a definite "not taking applications now" time, last year. I think they kinda closed at about the same time, even though people had already had phone interviews and such.

If someone goes back and checks my old posts from around this time last year (my first application), look at the threads I was posting in, then the time scale of when emails went out about stuff should be easy to find out.

 

I think if Yummy have had hundreds of phone interviews, they would decided there and then if its a yes or no. It would be ridiculously hard for each Yummy staff to remember each and every call and how each indiviual did to review them, after the last of the interviews on the 10th.

 

Yeah, I think they probably have a fairly good idea of who is yes and who is no already. But since they could potentially have a week of amazing phone interviews this week they might be waiting until all those are finished before letting people know, just in case they need to change their minds in a few cases.
