Interviews are always scary but there’s something about Disney that makes it feel a little more magical … and that you have a frog in your throat. Getting through the web based interview if offered after submitting you application is simple if you are consistent and truthful. Like many other online applications, the web-based process asks your similar questions but in different formats to test you awareness and consistency. Take your time, re-read and be honest. Immediately after submitting you will be asked to set up a date and time for you phone interview if you pass. This is nice because there is no waiting to see if you passed the web interview but just the waiting game for your phone interview.
My number one piece of advice for the phone interview is PRACTICE. This is very important. Find a friend who has went through the process of join one of the many groups online to find someone who has. Set up questions you believe they may ask and write down what you would say. This is helpful when you interview because when you are on the phone and nervous, some key points might slip your mind. Also, do a mock interview with a friend. Have them ask you the questions and say what you would answer. This is great practice!
Now, the interview! Naturally you are going to be nervous. Here are a few tips. Dress nice. It’s on the phone but when you feel nice your attitude changes. Smile! Another thing they cannot see but your interviewer can definitely hear it. Be yourself! This is important and will set you out from the crowd of interviewees that they hear a day. Be bubbly, fun and just show what you could bring to the table.
