okayyy thanks! i mean, are you open to questions? i kind of feel bad. you're just basically the expert
Oh by the way, what day do we get our main gate passes (actually allowed to go to the parks)? It says day 2 on the website but I've heard differently..
Hey everyone, kinda lost touch with the thread a bit lately as have been sooo busy with uni and stuff but anyway... my interview is next Thursday... any final tips?
This isn't really a tip, but more informational:
I toured the casting building today and talked to people from all types of recruiting - including college recruiting.
905 college program students requested to extend into the spring program, which is more than anything they anticipated. Because of this huge number, they have been holding on all offers to see where those who extended would end up. As long as the student had a clean record card, they were given the extension - this just happened on Monday.
Which means, now they have lifted the hold and can start extending their offers again - but, with 900 new people signed on for spring they are now incredibly low for remaining positions.
If you really want to be hired, then indicate that you'll be willing to work QSFB, Custodial and Housekeeping. To be honest, my guess is that all of the other roles will be full, or nearly full. However, 1/3 of all CPs work in QSFB so it's the role they need the most people for.
Thanks for the info
Does anyone know when the application process is over?

So does that mean those of us who applied at the end of September would ALSO have only custodial and QSFB roles left? I mean, I checked like 5 other things besides that. Is the hiring problem for those who haven't sent in their apps yet? Or for those who are still pending a decision?
I'm not sure about the status of hiring at this point. However, I didn't apply until the very beginning of November, and I got my first choice (vacation planner). I only marked the vacation planner, merchandise, full service food & beverage, and BBB roles. My interviewer told me the only role that was filled up at that point was BBB. (I had my phone interview November 7th). Don't lose hope yet!
I had mine on the 7th, too, but she didn't tell me about BBB being full. It was my 1st choice and she asked me all kinds of questions about it.
So i don't think thats fair for all the others applying for the Spring that havn't even been on a CP yet. I soooo hope that doesn't happen for the Fall cause I really want to go and be a Character Attendant, Costumes, or Attractions
