Travelling during CRP Program

Hi people

I know it's silly for me to go on like we've even had an interview and got through but touch wood we do and if we do, does anyone plan on going to other parts of the USA when they have a bit of time off? Ive heard its possible to get four days off in a row if you work a certain amount of days back to back. I'm really up for road trips or short breaks to other places to make the most of my year.

Ive also heard people can go on cruises why they are out there as well, has anyone that's been on the program done this?

You'll have lots of opportunities to travel I didn't travel too much though. But, yes you can get back-to-backs. You just have to request it and it's not really that hard to get. Just make the request as soon as you've planned something, the sooner you do that the more likely you're to get it.

I really recommend that you go on a cruise! I didn't do it while I was on the program, but I've done it after. There's several cruises leaving from Port Canaveral and it's not really that expensive. You'll also get discount on the Disney cruises.

 

I'm definatly wanting to travel around while I'm there! Theres heaps of things I want to do and see in the USA. Internal flights and buses can be quite cheap too if you look around a bit. I would LOVE to do the disney cruise!!

 

i will sitck with u all!!! i really want to travel all around USA and def a disney cruise, i want to go to Vegas, NY and see a brodway disney show!, to California to disneyland!!! cant wait!! i thing first i have to sent all my papers! but is until march! =S

 

Hehe I plan on doing New York a number of times... and I'd love to do a CRP Disney cruise! We could take over the boat!

 

That sounds like fun ;D I have to try it when I go back! The cruise I went on was a Royal Caribbean one...

 

New York has been high on my list for a loong time. I reeeeally want to see the grand canyon, and Hawaii! I'm also desperate to see Canada but I might leave that until I finish my program (again IF i'm even accepted lol)

 

Yeah, I have to keep reminding myself that I don't actually have a job yet.

Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight!

 

aaww just imagine going on holiday...and coming home to disney world. what a thought!! :-[ :-[ I iwsh interviews would hurry up and get here. The wait is getting more painful lol

 

Do you know when your interview is? I don't know yet, just that it's either in the end of march or early april, so I can't wait to have that information!

I miss the firework shows so much! Can't wait so see it again!

 

ok its set then we will be doing some travelling woohoo!

vegas, l.a, new york, boston, washington, memphis.... and whereever anyone else wants to go im sooo there!

god i really hope we get in! xxxx


what's everyone doing to prepare for interviews??

 

I'm sat chewing my hair and worrying over what i'll say!!!! actually thats a good point, any good interview preparation tips?? I've just got this strange feeling that we might find out of phone interviews this week. To prepare for that I'm going to rely on good old wikipedia.com to refresh my knowledge of Leeds...just so i've got something to say to them if they ask me to tell them about where i'm from!!!

 

lol thats what ive been looking on! do u think i should just brush up on my knowledge of wimbledon or london as a whole! xx

 

lol i'd say london as a whole...definatly talk about guy fawkes and the houses of parliment cos its a tale not everyone in florida is going to be familiar with. as for me...i'll get researching coal mines and the sheep population of the yorkshire moors and such lol

 

I think you should also talk with accent, and brew them a cuppa LOL

 

aaah miss gibbs....i can see i have taught you great wisdom! lol. how long do the interviews last generally?

 

LOL

Minnie, mines lasted about 20-25 mins and that was with 2 of us in there (cuz u get interviewed in pairs) so it's not too long really.

They are not like normal interviews, jst feels like a wee chat! Dont worry too much about researching where you come from, they will jst ask you to tell them a bit about where you live so it's not too in depth.

oh thats good news! I bet 20mins flies by too.

 

ok jesus where do i start about London!! Its sooooo big!! I feel like im on a special trip when i go central london as it is and i live in london so will be hard to talk about it as my home... oh well!

shall i put on a cockney accent lol they will love that!

alright luv, how are ya, cor blimeyyyyy! xx

 

hello there i was just reading this thread and i just wanted to give you a few pointers for your interviews, just that i read that you were thinking about researching where you are from.
i found that they were more focused on customer service -

what is good customer service in your opinion, give an examples of when you provide great customer service.
have you lived away from home? how would you cope? have you lived with people from other countries?
where abouts in the world have you always wanted to visit? and have you been to Disney and what were you memory's about it?

these were the questions asked at my interview. really tho you don't need to panic be your self and you will find the interview will react more to you for than that rather than putting on accent and trying to over do it. i hope that this kinda helps alittle Sean
