Vancouver/Calgary '05 Interivew Goers Meeting Place

Ok, hope everyone who comes in will fell nice a comfortable in our nice little chat place for people going to the Vanvouver/Calgary interview this fall. I even added a fireplace here which mushmellows I'm being a ittle silly but the thought was nice though. LOL

First off, good luck to those going to the Vancouver/Calgary interview. hopefully I'll see some of you at the Vancouver interview.

I started off this post so that some of us can get to know each other since alot people applying for the interview is probably applying for the first time for the first (unlike me lol).

For those who didn't know. I'm from Toronto and I will be going to the Vancouver interview. I'm also re-applying for the program because I had some unsuccessful attepts in the past. But I never give up so I'm trying again.

Who else is going to these interview?

Hey All,
The name is Tanis, I'm 21, and I heard about the program through my good friend who did it in 2003, and she said she had the absolute best time of her life, she met the most memorable people. So HOPEFULLY you guys will be some of the memorable people I will meet! Should we all meet somewhere before the interview, I would like to know more about you guys and what positions your applying for! please add me to your MSN if you have it tan00_@hotmail.com ( those are zeros not oooo's) ta ha!!!!
Let's get to know eachother, no better time than the present we all might be sharin a bunk in no time!
Look forward to it!

 

Are the interviews in Vancouver on Nov. 18th?

I am an alumni and I went to the last set of interviews to help answer questions people had about the program. If anyone has Eric Thenault's number (the head of the recruitment agency in T.O.) I would be greatful. Or just the castaway number, either is fine.

I know that he likes to have some people there to answer specific questions and stuff.

anyways, let me know and thanks.

Cheers

Graham Cracker.

Hmm, is it me or not much people from here going to the Calgary/Vancouver? What could this mean for the interview? Hmmm, I wonder lol

Gary

 

it means we ALL get jobs! hee hee

Does anyone know what the ratio/stats applicants vs jobs vs how many people they hire?

 

I just had my phone interview!! And I now have my interview in Calgary in November! Any one else going to be there?? ???

 

Hi I just wanted to say hello to all you Canadian peeps who have their interview next month. I am from UK and also have my interview in November (but in London) so will be going through the whole excitement/anxiety/nerves and waiting game with you all!

@ Tazzy - there does not seem many of us interviewing from the UK on these boards either but I have it on good authority that the interviews are fully booked so it is not how I dreamt that the reason of so few was due to a lack of applicants :'( (did that make sense???)

Anyway I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck for the interview, if I have it correct ours are before yours so we will be able to come back on here and let you know how they went and what to expect!

I sincerely hope to meet you all in the world where magic never ends in 2006!

 

Lol now only if it was that simple. Well, all I can say is that less people there, the better odds are getting in. There are LOTS of people that usually attend the interview. Just a question how much are going this time around. One thing that might play in our favour is that they brought back the college program. This might be a good thing because several people in the past were still either in college or university studying. Now college or university students can apply (though it might depend on what field they are studying in) for the summer college program. So, that might drop down the number of people applying for the international program.

But I have ti admit something though, I'm not sure how college program will affect the number of jobs that will be able for the international program. We'll find that out next month at the interview. Last March when I was at the Toronto interview, they offered 33 jobs which is not including the two emergency dates.

@Jess - The only thing about that is that last year Vancouver interview and last march Toronto interview, alot of people came on here saying they are going to the interview. Most of them came on more then a month before the interview. It's now into the last week of October and the interview is on November 18 just four weeks away and still not alot of people coming on talking about the west coast interview. So it's still kinda strange.

@Katja, hiya there, I'm going to the Vancouver interview next month.

Howdy y'all!

I'm from saskatoon... just had my phone interview today, and got invited to the Calgary Interviews on Nov 16th.

.....they definitely caught me off guard, i missed the call on friday, called her back today. Nicola i spoke with at castaway, it was great, when she answered the phone she told me that she was just about to call me back..... should i be taking that as a sign???

Anyways... i'm super super uber excited... Disneyworld is definitely my happy place... can't wait to see you all there!

darren

 

oooh! congrats!!! Lots of phone interviews going on right now....this is so exciting!
I wish we could just all get jobs!!! 25 more days to wait untill they tell us our fate tee hee
Welcome to wdwip!

 

Keep in mind that we wouldn't find out on that exact day. We all should find out about two or three weeks after the interview depending how busy Castaway is during this time of year. Castaway is hosting another interview for the Steiner Tranocean during that same week. When they actually tell us could change to short or longer, and we'll all find out about when at the interview.

I think we should set up a dinner the night before the Vancouver interviews. What does everyone else think of this?

Thursday evening, maybe 5pm or 6pm, don't know where though......let's try to geth this set up because it would be really nice to meet with some people before we go in.

 

That's a cool idea, I'm arriving in Vancouver early Thursday morning so the dinner would be cool. Or we could have night out on Friday or Saturday after the interview. I'm up to that too.

Keep in contact with me, my msn is gsuha@hotmail.com and yahoo is g_suha.

Hi

Just wondering if there is another interview happening on Saturday this year? I heard that there are usually two interview days every year...Anyone knows?

 

yeah there are interviews on saturday the 19th, but I think the saturday ones are just for college program applicants.....not 100% sure though.

 

There is a interview on Saturday but like Tessa said, it's for the college program only. The Walt Disney World International Program is on Friday the 18th which is exactly two weeks away.
