It has now been a week since my interview. Even though they told us we wouldn’t have an answer until mid/end of February, I was kind of hoping we would get answers this week. With the face-to-face interviews, we always had an answer the week after. It has been easier than I thought to wait for an email though. I am busy with school and work and I am trying to get as much homework done as I can while I don’t have to study for exams so I don’t have much time to think about Disney at the moment. Next week, the face-to-face interviews start in Toronto and Montreal and we might get some information about which roles they need this year and if some things have changed about the program (hopefully the bus system haha). The face-to-face interviews in Quebec and Vancouver are the week after that, so I will get to meet the new people who come to the interviews in Quebec. And the week after, we might start getting offer or rejection emails. Hopefully an offer :P.

So my interview was an hour ago! I was so nervous this morning, I woke up at 6 and couldn't eat because of the knots in my stomach. I was ready by 8:30, with the phone in front of me and a pad and pencil just in case. I even had a glass of water ready! They called at 9:02 and the interview lasted about 20 minutes. The recruter, Caroline, was super nice and it helped to settle my nerves.
My roles checklist wouldn't open so she asked me to rate my interest for each role. And then she asked me what I would like to be different this time around. (Why can't it be exactly like last summer?!) That was a tricky question because after 2 summers at Typhoon, I just want to go back to what I was doing last summer. I told her I would like to have more guest interactions so I would like to be a recreations Cast Member this time around, but please let me be a lifeguard again! I love lifeguarding! I should have just said I wanted nothing to change, but she asked this question twice so I guess it's important... Other than that, she asked me the regular questions: can I work outside or inside, do I have tattoos, can I pass the swim test, can I lift heavy things, etc. She asked me if I had handled money before, if I had worked with boats before and what I would do if a guest wanted to meet Mickey, but the line was closed. So questions about all of my top roles. I have no idea what I will get or even if I will get a role and we won't get news until mid/late February! It's going to be torture waiting for that email!! At least my interview is done and I can concentrate on school until February. And the new people have their interviews at the end of January or beginning of February so it will help me wait to see how their interviews went. I just can't wait to hear back!! So, here I am, sitting on my bed, the night before my third Disney interview (OMG 3rd?! Can you believe it? Where has the time gone!). I don't fully realize that in 11 hours, it will be time. I am nervous, but mostly because it's on the phone and I hate talking on the phone. I am more excited than I am nervous though. Not sure if it's because it will be over or because Disney is always exciting.
Laurie made me practice my answers earlier so I'm ready. Hopefully I can sleep tonight and be well rested for tomorrow! Wish me luck! After spending three months with the same people in the most magical place on earth, it is hard to go back to reality and only see your friends on FaceTime or Facebook. So whenever we can get together, I love to see my Disney friends! Some of us live in the same city, but we rarely get to see each other because of our busy schedules, but Christmas vacations are the perfect occasion to spend some time with good friends. Laurie, Catherine and I went to the movies to see the new Hunger Games and later to the restaurant to get updated on each other's life. While we were eating, Laurie had the idea that we should go to the Festi-Lumière (Light Festival) at the aquarium. Since Anipier was in Quebec from January 3rd to January 6th, we thought it would be the perfect time to all go together. So on the night of January 3rd, Laurie, Catherine, Julie, Anipier and I made our way to Quebec's aquarium for a fun night in the cold Canadian winter. It was totally worth it though because it was absolutely beautiful. It was great to see Anipier as well since I hadn't seen her since August! Here are some pictures of our adventures! |
AuthorHello everyone! My name is Marie-Ève. I am from Québec, Canada and this blog is about my summer as a cast member in Walt Disney World. Since most of my family and friends speak French, everything on this blog will be written both in English and French. Archives
