Now we play the dreaded waiting game....

Greeting once again fellow bloggers!


Last night at exactly 10pm (quite impressive actually), I had my phone interview for the Walt Disney World College Program. I was obviously very nervous but excited and prepared at the same time. I had 7 (seven!) pages of notes laid out in front of me on my bed. However, I do this thing where I pace back and forth non-stop when I am nervous so the amount of times where I actually stopped to look at those papers was very minimal. I had most of what I wanted to say memorized anyways!


My recruiter's name was Brandon and he was extremely nice. He was friendly and easy to understand and talk to. He asked me a lot about my past work experience and what attributes went with the skills I possessed. For example, I was a cashier so I have experience handling money and stuff like that. I think my versatility helped a lot with this because I am trained in 5 different departments at my job! He then asked me my top 4 roles (attractions, merch, character attendant, and bell service) and why I wanted each one. Following that was a specific question about each of those but none of those "stinger" questions like the kid being too short or someone kicking good ol' Mickey. So that was a relief. He asked me about being a team player or working solo, about the rate of pay, about the Disney look, and about the living situations. The hardest question he asked me was what I would do make a guest's day right off the bat if I was in Main Entrance Opps for example. That one was rather difficult but I think I gave a good answer. The first question he asked though was obviously why I wanted to work for Disney. Overall I think it went really well. I was confident leaving the interview and got just about everything said that I wanted to. Now I just have to wait the three to four weeks for that purple folder! I kinda want this pretty bad....(sarcasm, I'm buggin out!)


Good luck to everyone and just be calm and confident!
