20 minutes later, I receive THE call. I take a deep breath to compose myself and answer the phone with a cheery "Hello?" Buzzing with excitement, I can hear the nerves vibrating in my voice. The lady on the other line was very nice and started off asking me simple questions before the actual interview questions.
She began with the big question, Why do you think the Disney College Program is for you? Why do you want to do it… I rattled off answers, and finally decided I was ready for the next question. She continued on by asking me what my preference was between Disneyland and Disney World (Since I applied for both) I stated Disneyland with lots of excitement, and told her that it was my favorite place in the entire world. Next, she asked me which roles were my top two and I said: Merchandise and Attractions. Then she asked about my work experience and I answered that one with flying colors since I have a lot of retail experience. Then, she asked simple questions like, Do you have a license? Do you have a car that you would want to bring? Have you lived with other people before (a sorority with over 50 girls? Check). Then she asked if I had any more questions and I really didn't since I've been researching this program for many many many many years. She told me it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to hear back and sometimes longer…. That was that… She bid me farewell and I floated off into Neverland as I hung up the phone.
The last stage was over with. Now I just have to sit and wait and hope that they select me for one of the Disneyland Merchandising positions (preferably on Main Street USA :) My fingers are crossed that this dream of mine will become a reality.
Until next time… Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about the program! Leave your comments below.
