good luck xx

 

u2!! eeeek fingers xd!!!

 

Oh Im worried I may not get it now. The lady didnt ask me when I could start :-\

 

mayb they didnt say wen can u start mayb it was wer gona take people on from that date......

 

yeah it was more a... we're recruiting for june onwards, would you be available from then...kind of thing (I think at that point I may have mentioned I was at uni so she wanted to check).

Don't worry Lyle, I'm sure you did fine. Don't worry! x

 

OK, I've not posted on here since Sept, but I applied again on Jan 1st, not heard anything back yet but still got my fingers crossed

 

And just after I typed that, I looked in my Spam folder, and have been unsuccessful again. Ah well. :-[

 

Don't worrie you can always try again not time limit which is good!!!

GOOD LUCK everyone with interview i got my on Friday *gulp i don't know why i left it so long i'm just worrying now for 3 days lol!!!

 

BTW has anyone had a phone interview with Nick?? Thats who i got, I'm sure he's lovely...I'm just nervours lol!!!

 

I haven't had a phone interview with him, but I have spoken to him before now, and he's a really nice guy. Don't worry about it.
I think you've made the right choice leaving your interview a few days... it means the wait between the interview and hearing back will be shorter for you, but ages for everyone else! Look on the bright side, every cloud has a silver lining.

My silver lining is, as yet, unknown. But I'm sure I'll find it soon.

 

Well my interview finished about 30mins ago. I don't know how it went, I think I rambled a bit more out of excitement than nervousness though. I remembered to smile and be cheerful though so thats something. Sould hear back in 3ish weeks ???

 

I am bricking it....eeeeek

 

Wooo, its over. That was worse than ICP i swear lol! 3 weeks...playing the waiting game again..she did say that they would be recruiting from Sept onwards.

 

Just had mine, not sure how it went as i was fairly nervous. Hannah said i might hear later this week, end of next week worst case scenario :s

 

Thanks i think your right i'm started to get excited now!!! you will find your silver lining i'm sure maybe an even better opertunity will come your way i'm sure of it I'm sending you my pixi dust wishes.

Gud luck eveyone who has had there interview it's just a waiting game now i guess!!

 

Hey! hope they went ok...just wondering, did you get asked similar questions to me? What worries me is that she said that she's skipped a few questions because I'd already answered them- I just hope I said enough! x x

 

why have some people been told a week/week and a half and others of us got told 3?

bases being covered?

for people who want to know about the questions, these are not nessecerily in the correct order:
Tell me about what motivates you <-straight out of the starting blocks, this one was not easy
Why do I want to do the programme
What fo I think would be the most difficult thing about working in Florida
What would I tell people about where I come from and my values
Tell them about an experience dealing with a difficult customer
How do I feel about living closely with people from different cultures

I think that was about it, we chatted about my childhood a bit and a few other bits and pieces. I tried to think of it as more of a "getting to know you" chat rather than an interview. We'll see whether that helped or not.

 

yeah I think they probably were covering bases with that!

So we're all getting similar questions, that's good. Yeah the motivates me one was difficult- I just said doing lots of things to keep busy, i.e. my degree as well as more enjoyable stuff...

I thought it was more of a "chat" but that's probably because I've done some graduate scheme interviews which are much more difficult! I ended up chatting about the fact my dad lives in Cairo...bizarre...! x x

 

OMG........................................... :'(


I was sooooooooooooooo nervous! I babbled quite a bit! Spoke with Hannah, she was really nice....

THE QUESTIONS: Not in order......

Name, passport region

Why do I want to work for Disney

Do I have tattoo's or piercings

How do I cope under pressure and give an example of when I have done so

How do I feel about sharing a room with different nationalities, sometimes could be up to 8 people

I was asked the earliest date I could start if I got accepted

Can I work for long periods of time under extreme heat

Tell me a bit about where you live and whats interesting about it..... (I said Scotland, or my actual town.....? She said, Ill give you a challenge, tell me about both - AAAARGH! Note to self, dont answer a question with a question haha)

Have I travelled before, if so, how do I cope being away from home

Why did you choose Disney over any other programme?

If there were 10 people in a queue and 1 person skipped, how would you deal with that?

What motivates you

Of all your jobs, give me one example of how you made a negative situation a positive one, what did you do to make the outcome positive

Do you like a challenge

How did you feel when you heard about your telephone interview




OMG, I rambled my way through every question, the end question was how did I feel about getting telephone interview..... I said... and I quote.... Oh my god, you have no idea what I was like yesterday, I was a state, so excited at the fact this could be all real, I mean how exciting, no way'..... DONT YOU WISH YOU HAD A 'REWIND BUTTON' haha!

I asked when I would hear back, she said that interview were still happening this week, but hopefully within two weeks.

Fingers Crossed

 

oh wow, you had loads of questions compared to me...I liked your last question though, and I'm sure that your answer was fine because you showed that you were enthusiastic!!! Now I just hope I did... x
