On January 26, 2015 I sent in my application to the Disney Careers website. I put in all my work experience and typical application information. Then I went through all the role options for both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
This is where there is a lot of speculation on whether or not you should choose No Interest for any position. Some people believe putting it for a lot will decrease your chances of moving on, some people believe you should be as honest as you want. I put No Interest for two roles in each resort and Low Interest for a few. But I put quite a lot of Moderate and High Interests. I'll let you know how that pans out for me in the phone interview.
I waited about an hour and a half until I got the email and was asked to complete the Web-Based Interview!!! I've heard a lot of people stressing out about this, but the best advice is to
- be honest
- read each question out loud
I'm not sure how accurate the advice is about not choosing Neutral. I chose Neutral a couple times because I thought it was 100% necessary. Sometimes I just didn't know which side I felt.
Right after it ended, I was told I was a strong candidate and welcome to schedule a phone interview.
*SCREAMS*
This was when it all sunk in and I began to get nervous. But also so incredibly happy. This is a chance of a lifetime that I am ready to commit to.
So I scheduled the phone interview for three days later until I got laryngitis! Timing, right? Luckily you are allowed the chance to reschedule and I did. So I still have a little over a week to practice and plan. I can't wait to update you on how that goes.
I hope these posts give you some insight to the application process. If you have any questions feel free to comment down below.
