Happy Holidays!

Hey Everyonee!

No big news from Disney currently, but i thought i'd just say Happy Holidays to anyone who's reading this! I've been receiving a few e-mails from Kristen over the week, just asking if i wanted to participate in the e-mail chain, and then i received everyones e-mails. It got me really excited because i remember it last time so well. Wont start sending out e-mails until the new year and when we've got are interview dates! That should be it for now,
So i hope all of you have a fantastic holiday and bring in the new year while having fun! My Christmas and New Years last year were fantastic, and amazing, and couldn't have asked for a better one! Here's to a great year upcoming year!! (hopefully at Disney!)

Take Caree,

Face to Face Interviews, here i come!

Hey Everyonee!

So, to my surprise.. last night i received an e-mail from Kristen asking me to come to the face to face interviews. I'm totally stoked. I was really on the fence about being put through, but i did.. and now here i am. haha
My interview will be held in Montreal & Vancouver. Obviously i'll be going to Vancouver. I'm exited because it's going to be a reunion time too. Kate, Peever, will be there, Brianna's coming along and i might be able to see Taryn while i'm already over there. I'm really excited. It's going to be so weird going back, but it's going to be amazing all in one. I'm thinking about doing video blogs, but i haven't quite decided if i will or not. But if i do, i'll post a link to where you can watch them.
I don't have much information to say. I got another e-mail from Kristen this morning, asking to be apart of the e-mail list that she sends out so people can get to know their fellow interviewees.

The next waiting part for me will be to see if Michelle makes it as far as i do. We're both hoping to get accepted and arrive together and live together again. It would be heaven. :)
So this is it for now. Two months and a bit until my interviews. I'm sure i'll post a bunch before.

Take Caree

Phone Interview.. CHECK!

Hey Everyonee!

Okay, so yesterday was my phone interview. I was really nervous, but had it, and i think it went fine. It's really hard to tell with Kristen (Canada's YummyJobs Recruitter). If anyone has spoken to her then you'll understand what i'm talking about when i say her voice is very staged. So i feel like i did well, and i wont find out for another 2-3 weeks. I'm thinking it'll be more on the side of 2 weeks because 3 brings us to Christmas. So i thought for anyone who reads this that's never done the program or re-applying i'd discuss the questions she asked.

She started out by asking the simple questions like do i still have a canadian passport, am i available through out the July 2011- December 2011, Do i have any new tatoos or body piercings, and then she started asking the real questions. She asked why i wanted to go back again, if i could work the long hours and work in the heat again, she asked if i could live with Foreigners again, she asked what was a stressful/hard situation i had to deal with on my last program, she asked if i'd be willing to go into Merch or Attractions, and she asked if i'd be willing to go through the Podium/popcorn to get back into service. And the one questions that kind of got me stuck was, she asked what would Disney do for my future career endeavors knowing that this was my last time doing the Cultural Rep Program. It kind of stumped me, even though it shouldn't have and i anwsered in a completely different way. After i made a face but thought ohh well.
So that's really it. The next 2 weeks are going to last FOREVER. If i make it to the face to face there will be two interviews. Montreal and Vancouver. Obviously i'll be going to Vancouver. But we'll see. I will keep you guys up to date with everything that's going on, and as soon as i know. :)
