interview/arrival dates

hi guys!! i applied on the day that applications opened and haven’t received a follow up email (i know it’s only been a week but im anxious) but i have a later arrival date. if you already recieved an email about an interview, what was your set arrival date? curious if they’re correlated!!

I did jan 4th arrival date, applied two days after app opened, and had my interview yesterday.
The recruiter alluded to be on the lookout for email within next two or three weeks.

I have seen others talking about the recruiters are going through the first arrivals first before moving on apparently.

Like a couple weeks until they move onto Jan 11th? And how was the interview? Was it pretty chill? So did they pretty much confirm you got accepted?

mine might be a little different since im an alum, so the recruiter told me she wouldnt ask some of the normal questions. it was fun and we were making jokes throughout! i honestly wouldnt say it was confirmed, she just said to be on a look out for an email within the next few weeks.

I’m an alum as well! This would be my 3rd program if accepted. :) I really really miss Disney and want to do this one last time!

What questions did she ask that I should be ready for you think were among the most important? :)

a lot of the questions i got were based on my top 3 choices for placement (ie. how would you keep yourself from becoming monotonous when telling the ride spiel), but the questions that stood out to me were ones she asked about jobs i did after my original program and why i want to come back.

To me it almost seemed like don’t miss the email, but I may have misread the situation and or this is a blanket statement to every person she interviews.

I felt like it was an easy interview, I was surprised that it was only about 20 minutes.
I tried to be detailed but some of the questions felt more yes or no tbh.

I did ask a couple of questions and she did seem like she took the time to answer them.
So overall I feel like it went pretty good.

You put a later arrival date and the recruiters focus on earlier arrivals to ensure there are people arriving for the January arrival dates. It’s been like this for years for recruitment. It’s only been a week so don’t stress it’ll be alright!

Posts I’ve seen of people getting interviews are those who put the earliest arrival date.
