Well! Today was the day......... I LOVED the presentation SO much!!! Disney Magic *sniff sniff* How did everyone think they did on their interviews? 18 days to wait now. Maximum. Not too bad really, considering we've all been waiting for today for 2 months +
OMG! Tessa! It was soo much fun!! Talking to Jeff was like talking to an old pal *uh huh!* (Mickey laugh)! I totally kicked but too! I didnt freeze and I answered all the questions fully and got in all the words I wanted to! The pins are lovely and so was the presentation! Go Valerie!
Heh, well not all of us waited 2 months, I waited alot more then that. I waited well over a year to try to get into this program. lol So 2 months is nothing LOL Those who get called won't have to wait a full two weeks for an answer. I know that much from past experience. Reason why I say this is because they probably already decided who got into the program. Plus, Eric is really good when it comes to calling out people and letting them know they got it. I wouldn't be surprise if people start getting a call during the week. I think I did really well myself, alot better then I did last March. My interview went a little longer because I had questions that the lady didn't know and she waited for Jeff to finished with his interview with someone else. I took that chance to chat with her and we started having a little conversation about flight to Vancouver. LOL So I think it went pretty good. Gary Btw, I cant believe Fog in Vancouver lasted SSOOOO long, never seen fog lasted that long and they are talking about it ending by Thursday??
Tazzy, the same thing happened to me, I had some questions that Dawn couldn't answer so I had to wait for Jeff, but we just chatted more about interview type stuff, and I was saying how it's cool that she's only been with the company for less than 2 years and shes getting to fly round the world. I'm terrified that Eric will start calling this week! AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Tazzy, or anyone, do you know what exactly they base who they hire on...do our phone interviews still count for the final decision? or is it purely the 15 minute face to face :S Hope we all hear back soon!
Tessa, that's an excellent question, haven't thought the phone interview. I don't think it has any effect on the final interview. Reason being that the phone interview Castaway does only screens people they believe should be in the finals. In other words, if you pass the phone interview, that means you made the first cut. Who knows how many actually applied. Secondly, hiring decision is directly by Disney which in this Jeff/Dawn and Castaway isn't really involve in the final hiring. As they said at the interview that we'll only be only be in contact with Eric after a applicant is hired. Last, they hired base on personately, Eric has already express how important is to show that. Well, Eric "could" call as early as this week but don't quote me on that because 'ANYTHING" can happen in the two weeks or even after the two weeks is up. One thing I forgot to ask during the interview was how may positions they were offering. Unfortunately they can only hire so much from both Vancouver and Calgary. We'll see what happens. Gary
yeeeeah, there were aprox. 45 at vancouver and 23 at calgary, so I wonder how many they're hiring? I'm hoping something like 30, thats almost at 50/50 chance! Oh well, we'll all know soon enough......
In Toronto last March, they offered 33 positions and that wasn't including 3 emergency dates. Speaking of which, there are people that leave there for certain reasons so positions do open and they fill them in. Like I said before, anything can happen. Gary
