My Disney College Program Phone Interview 

9/25/14

On the day of my first ever job interview. They called me five minutes late, so I was anxious that Disney wasn't going to call me at all. Even though I had made my phone interview appointment. A funny thing happened however, I hung up on accident before I even got to answer the phone. Because it is a private number when they call you, so you have to answer it a different way then you normally would. I was wondering if they even would call me back. Because I heard that if you don't pick up that Disney might not call you back at all. So I was super upset and worried that I ruined my chances of a life time. 

My top role for the DCP would be photo-pass photographer. Because I love taking pictures of everything and I even have a youtube channel. I would also love to get further up with-in the company and one day be a casting director. So I feel as though that role in particular will give me a great opportunity. She asked me questions such as "what type of camera's do you have?" I mentioned to her that I just have a little Nikon point and shoot camera for now, but I did have other point and shoot cameras before and I'm quick at figuring out how to work new cameras. Then she asked me "how I would feel about working new camera equipment?". I replied saying like I said before- that I'm a quick learner, so it wouldn't be that difficult for me. She also asked me about attractions and how would I deal with a child that wasn't tall enough for a ride. I said I would make sure the child would stay calm and tell them that they would have a even more magical experience when they come back the next time to the parks and to that ride. So hopefully that was a good answer. I'm not sure though. 

It is a funny thing though, because I put "front desk" as a (high interest) roles but she never asked me anything about that at all. But I put (costuming) as a (moderate role interest) and she asked me 1 question about it. So overall it was kind of weird how she asked about more roles then others.

I thought my first job interview I did pretty well. I got nervous at the end whenever she asked me if I had any questions for her. Which I did, however- I thought sounded a little robotic because I got nervous. I did have a few questions for her. My first question was "will their be any net-working opportunities for CP's?" She replied with "yes, their will be plenty of opportunities such as seminars and lectures". Not worded exactly like that, because I don't remember what she exactly said but basically their are net-working opportunities for College Programmers. My next question was "how will they match up roommates for the program?" She said that their will be a little questionnaire before you get to the program. So you will only have that option if you haven't joined a facebook group and talked to other CP's. 

        This is all I have as of now for this post, but I hope to be writing more soon.
