Phone Interview Complete

Well that's the worst part over! I have completed my telephone interview with Yummy Jobs today. I spoke to a lovely lady called Hannah who really put me at ease. The worst part of the whole thing is actually waiting for your phone to actually ring! I was expecting the call at 11.30am and it got to 11.35 and it still hadn't rang! My heart was having a little panic, 'did i put the right number? did i book the right day?!' But at 11.37 the house phone rang and all was ok!

I managed to jot down the questions as I was being asked them so that I could share them with you all! I had lots of answers prepared for maybe sneaky questions they might ask or toughies that I couldn't make up on the spot - but no! Nothing hard about it what so ever!

I got asked:
-Can you confirm your University and Course
-How is it going so far?
-Why do you want to do this program?
(I work in the Disney Store so i got asked about that too)
-You might work up to 50/60 hours, 6 days a week. How would you cope with that?
-How would you feel about sharing an apartment with up to 8 other people from around the world?
-Which start date would you prefer?

The dates were as follows:
May 2nd - ??July (didnt catch that one)
May 25th - 6th August
June 1st - 20th August
June 20th - September 3rd

So, Hope this helps you out a bit! Leave me a comment and let me know if you got the same questions!

Phone Interview Time

So today I arranged my phone interview with Yummy Jobs.

It seems like I have been waiting forever for them to come around, but they are now here! So I gave myself plenty of time to prepare and arranged it for tomorrow. . . . WHAT!? Yes I gave myself a whole 24 hours to sort myself out!

Now the madness behind this theory is that I will get it out of the way and also I think im more likely to get put through at the start than I am towards the end when they are sick of hearing the same answers over and over again!

So wish me luck!

I GOT AN EMAIL!

So, some of you might know that I have applied for the Disney World College Program. If you didn't know - you do now! Anyway, to get more to my point, I got an email today from YummyJobs(who are the people you apply through!) and here is what it said;

Congratulations!!! You are though to the next stage.

How EXCITING is that?! Now some of you will also know that I have previously applied for a Disney Program. Last year I applied for the Cultural Representative Program, however I booked a holiday at the same time the face to face interviews were so could not attend and had to withdraw. Sad times!

But maybe this is my time? Just maybe I will be able to get through the phone interview alright and then straight on to the Face to Face. . .only time will tell I suppose!
