The Summer programme

Hey i was just wondering, im kinda new to these boards.. but i got my f2f interview in london on march 15th for this summer's intake (just for the summer).. and i was wondering if anyone else had the same date as me.
Just slightly confused as to who knows they are def going (did u guys have earlier interviews last year???)

You can tell im rather confuzzled.. hehe

I'm through to the f2f interviews in london as well for the summer program but they didn't give me a date. In the email it just said mid-march. Not sure y. I guess they must be organising another interview date.
And there were interviews earlier in the year so some people do know that they are definately going.
I hope that helps unconfuse u.

Hey!

Yeah there where quite a few interviews back in November for the summer program (seems like an age ago). I was at one in Aberdeen. They held them about the same time as the did interviews for the international program.

What positions are you thinking of going for? You will have such fun at the presentation and the interviews are nothing to be worried about, though saying that i was probably the worst before my interview for nerves lol

Let us know how you get on, any questions just ask

Hope you see you there in the summer

to be honest i think the excitement of it all will over power my nerves.. but who knows!! lol
Im going for operations/attractions or merchandise... (id be happy wit a broom sweeping tho as long as i was there!!)

I cant wait now.. im determined!! hope to see u too!
xx

 

lol - i also told them that i'd be happy doing anything as long as i was there

You get to put down what you'd most like to do then a second choice and a third ect. Broom sweeping is Custodial so hopefully you'll get something you like.

Hey guys!!

Total newbie here so hey!

I'm in UK and have literally just found out about the scheme today, I was watching tele and suddenly thort oooooh wonder if I could work in disneyworld? So I grabbed me skype account thingy and sat on the phone to about 15 different phone numbers to loads of different offices in america and finally found that this programme existed!!

Anyways (sorry to go on ) - is it too late to apply now? Did you guys go thru yummy jobs?

Any help or advice would be loverly me doods....!!!

Cheers in advance,

Lee

 

Lee, to repeat something I posted a while ago

Don't give up hope for 2006. I'd longed wanted to do an international program, but various things had worked against me. When I received the 2005 ICP start dates I couldn't make them because of exams; that was the last chance I saw myself having and so had basically given up any hope. Luckily, I hadn't given up to the stage of not checking these forums every so often. On June 1st 2005, I heard rumours about some new opportunities and (after getting a little hyper on here) I applied for them. I spoke with Alexis at Yummy Jobs twenty minutes after applying, was interviewed on June 4th, accepted on June 5th and flew out on June 26th for the most amazing summer!. As a certain cricket says in Wishes, "just when things look bad, fate steps in to see you through"...

Anyhow, my point is that even though the main interviews can happen, opportunities can arise at any time: there are definetely still interviews to happen so get in touch with them and see what you can sort out!

Best of luck!

Apply now - right now! From previous posts there looks like there are interviews coming up in march so i dont think you'll be too late - going by Andy's post above anything could happen even if it is late.

If you go on the yummy jobs website then you can submit your cv that way. Just make sure its in a program they can read on their computers, first time i sent mine they couldnt open it

Good luck

I was on the CP last summer and they sent us all an emaill whilst we were there sayin do we know people who would like to take part in the programme so rite up until the last min they are taking people. Even tho they may interview hundreds of people, many might not fit the criteria therefore they are short so i recon u can apply ne time....just send an email to Yummy jobs like its been said and im sure u'll get an interview for this summer.

Gem xXx

P.S if u're going for the CP 2006 i am so jealous and you are gonna hav the time of ur life and it will change ur life forever even though its only 3months ;D

 

Gem is *sooo* right - it will eb the time of your life. It is very annoying that they won't let us go back!

(Actually, I do sometimes wonder given how late they suddenlly decided they needed more people last year whether at the beginning of June all the 2005 participants will get an e-mail asking us to go back....)

 

Ok, i CANNOT believe the timing of this!!! I just got the folllowing e-mail:

Unfortunately, it then goes on to say you have to be available for the WHOLE period of May to November. Which I'm not. Because of uni. Pah.

(I would've said someone was playing with me, given I posted that only a couple of hours ago...but the e-mail does seem genuine, with an unsubscribe link that works and such like...)

 

hehe.. have to say that made me giggle hun.. lol.. bless.. maybe ur physic?!
xxxxx

 

lol thats not fair!

Maybe when you finish uni there will be something like that you could do

Personally i would have thought it was a prank - after i'm calmed down at being offered another chance

Well it was definetely real. I've had a few e-mails going to between me and the International Recruitment. No, they won't let you do it for less than the six months (I'm not sure how six months can be called a 'Summer Opportunity'!). And no, I really can't do the ICP again. Pah

Well, it was a nice feeling for the few minutes it lasted!!

Hey Lee i have just applied via yummy jobs, but i just missed the next take in so, i applied via email to them, as there are the main people to go through i have to wait 8-10 weeks, when you are going via yummy jobs you can send it by post or email but i prefer email as they acknowledge that they have recieved it and there very friendly aswell So you will prob have to wait for the next intake which so probably be around end of year, also remember to give them a up to date C.V with a covering letter if you are sending it by post hope it helps

 

I read somewhere that the deadline for this intake was feb 20th. I only sent my cv in over email last sunday and i had my phone interview 2 days afterwards. So i think u have just caught this intake!

xxx ;D

 

thats weird as they got mine before the 17th and they said to me i ahve to wait 2 months to hear from them (yummy jobs) ??? ??? im now totally confused ??? :

 

Hmmm im not sure then.... i saw it on a uni website... think it was liverpool john moores..... ill go see if i can find it again

 

Found it!

Definatly says feb 20th-

Hey Gardenofenglandgal

Are you applying for the year program? or the summer one?

They seem to still be accepting cv's for the ICP or summer program so if thats the one your going for then i'd get in touch with them again.

However you mention that your getting placed in the next lot later in the year so i'm thinking that that'll be the year one.

Anyway wishing you luck in whichever one your going for

p.s Everyone who emails their cv gets the 8-10 weeks email but often they get in touch a lot sooner especially if there are interviews coming up.
