Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Interview Thread!

So, totally just realized that I never said anything about MY interview lol...
So I interviewed on Monday the 25th and I had Rhonda.
The interview was scheduled at 2:30 and she called at 2:29 :D.
We talked about:
- why I wanted to work for Disney
- the previous question led to me saying that I'd been to WDW 11 times and she asked me what park was my favorite. I told her that I loved them all and it was impossible to choose just one and she said that would be her answer too so she could totally see where I was coming from.
- which of my past jobs were my favorite and why?
- what did I like least about it. I told her there were people who just weren't very nice and I brought up an instance in which I had issues with a co-worker and had to go to him and sort things out and everything was okay after that.
-She made me pick a top two and I picked Photopass and FSFB.
-For photopass she asked me what kind of experience I had with cameras and I listed everything I could possibly think of and left off some stuff *facepalm*
- Then for FSFB she asked me how my previous jobs would benefit in that role, which I told her how I worked for a CPA firm and how I was basically a hostess, who greeted clients when they came in and sat them in a room while they waited for the accountant they were there to see to get in there.
- she asked me about cash-handling experience and I tried to explain what experience I had with cash-handling, and I felt like I rambled :worried:
- we talked about roommate situations and all that good stuff then she asked if I had any questions and I honestly couldn't think of any, so I told her that I've been researching the program for about a year and that I couldn't think of anything that I didn't know the answer to already...

Reading over these replies gave me ideas of what I could have asked. So, I'm here second guessing myself and scrutinizing everything I said, just like everybody else.

The interview lasted 15-16 minutes, but I also think I may have answered a few questions within other questions. (for instance: the co-worker situation)

So, I guess we'll find out... I feel confident, but I don't want to be too confident and end up not getting it, so I don't know what to feel really lol.
 
My interview was only 15 minutes... 0.0 I hope that's okay...

Haha, I'm feeling the opposite. I'm worried that my longer interview meant that I talked too much! :headache: I tend to ramble when I'm nervous, and I definitely felt nervous talking to my interviewer!

I slur my words when I get nervous! haha i've always had a speech probably when i was a little girl. =[ I'm sure your interview was great! :)
 
I got my "Thank you for Interviewing" email today! Everytime I see something from Disney I am like OHH is that IT!?! even though it would not be it yet.:rotfl: but I am glad I got that.
 
Thats good to hear. lol I was reading about all the people having interviews before me and I got worried. lol
 
@EmilyDawn i was checking peoples profiles to see how old everyone is and we are EXACTLY the same age!!! I thought that was AWESOME!!
 
My phone interview is on Feb. 4th. Is that late? I hope not! Cus i'm so excited!!!

I hope not because my DLR interview is Feb 4th as well.
(It was suppose to be today but like an idiot I didn't fill out my application correctly...so there that is. LOL FAIL)

:goodvibes

Thats so cool!!! Kinda funny, but for my 21st birthday I went to Disney World!!! July 1st is the best! I was able to be down there for the 4th of July and went to EPCOT for the fireworks. MOST AMAZING FIREWORKS EVER!!! No lie, and I'm so excited because if i get into the fall advantage program I'll be able to be there again for my birthday and the 4th!!! I'm so nervous about my phone interview!!!
 
yeah I would love to be down there for my birthday but I don't think I am going down until the fall. They asked if I would do FA and I said of course, but I have an opportunity to possibly be a teaching aide at my school over the summer and I would really like to do it! However I want to be in Disney really bad too!!!
 
So, finally got around to re-taking the WBI, and I passed! The advice on here about answering in extremes was very helpful. I was careful to read all the questions carefully this time, and made sure I picked the response I intended to pick. Now I just need to schedule an interview time Monday. I'm busy until 12:15 on Monday's, though! I want to call as soon as they open!!! Should I skip my physics class to schedule my telephone interview??!!! *Suddenly gets the feels like the science building is staring at her through the window.* I guess I'll just have to wait until Monday afternoon to schedule the interview. Now to call my mom & my friends to ask them to help me practice my interview....

Don't skip a class just to schedule your interview. It will not help your chances of being accepted what so ever. Class is still more important. As anxious as you will be, just call after classes.

Yeah, I thought it was obvious I was kidding about that. I'm definitely waiting until my classes are done. I especially can't skip Physics... the science building already doesn't like me (I'm an English major).
 
I just scheduled my interview! It's Sunday the 7th at 2:15 PM! I'm so excited!

(PS whoever helped me schedule my interview was a little rude. She talked really fast so I had to ask her to repeat what she said a couple of times and she kind of got a little snippy. But it's ALLLL good! BECAUSE I HAVE AN INTERVIEW!)

Good luck!! :goodvibes

The women I talked with to schedule my interview was also short and snippy. Luckily, my interviewer wasn't the same person who scheduled me, so that made me feel a lot better.
