mmousefan Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I just had this morning and afternoon interviews with Disney Recruitment team to join The Cultural Representative Program to work at Epcots Mexican Pavillion!!! We arrived at Mayab University auditorium at 8am and at 8:30 recruiters arrived. We were welcomed by them ( we where like 30 aplicants ) and by 8:45 their presentation began. It was soo cool. First they asked some questions to see how well we knew Disney Company. I answered when Julie ( main recruiter ) asked if we knew another country beside USA where it was a Disney Theme park and I said Japan ( Tokyo Disneyland ) and I won this: A really fun magnet Today I feel : Happy The presentation lasted about an hour and a half and they showed us some videos that really maked me want to be there working rigth now.!!!! After all this they told us the time of our two interview ( one with an atraccions and merchandise maganer and one with a San Angel Inn manager ). Mine was suposed to be at 1:15 and 1:30, but interview took longer than we spected and started to get delayed. Finally about 2 pm I entered to my firt interview with Pedro from San Angel Inn. I wast nervous but the fact that he talked really really fast and with a mexican accent I think I just understand half of what he was saying me!!! LOL But, as some people adviced me, I was always smiling and making aye contact, so I think I didnt do bad. :teeth: After that it was lunch time for the recruiters so we had to wait like another hour. Then I got my last interview with David ( attraccions Manager ). I wasnt nervous at all and he was so funny and he kept the interview as a friendly conversation. He maked me very comfortable and I really think he got a good impression about myself. After this I was feeling really and now I have to wait like a month until they get in contact with me to make me a job offer So If everything goes well I think we migth be having another TPR member at World Show Case Here are some other pics from the papers they gaved me: And this is me. Tnks for reading. Feel fre to ask anything. PS: Hope to meet you soon Soren!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneyfan1313 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Good luck!!! Remember if you work for San Angel Inn you work for an outside company - not Disney (although you do get most of the same benefits). The merchandise and attractions mean you work for WDW (if you get a choice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get the position. Did they come to somewhere in Mexico for the interview or did you have to go to Florida? They came to Merida for the interviews, so I didnt have to travel to another city. Actually, this year, they have interviews in only two citys here in mexico: Merida and Puebla. So I was lucky to be from one of those citys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpia Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Best of luck to you. Are you sure you want to become Soren jr.? If you do you should only let TPR members take pictures with you if they have their kids with them. rbpia "Hey did you get the elusive mmousefan credit?"

mmousefan Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 ^ LOL LOL LOL Ill be more than glad to become a TPR rare credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpia Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 ^Just remember, because I came up with the idea I am the only one to get a picture without kids. Once again, best of luck to you. My brother has worked at WDW for about 4 years now. Best decision he's ever made. rbpia "68 hours until my plane leaves for Orlando! Not that I'm counting or anything."

mmousefan Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Well I just got the news. My job offer is for Food & Beverage starting June 12 2007 ending June 07 2008. I havent said yes, because Im kinda scared about me going to be serving food (cause it was my last option) but I think Ill say yes cause I cant let this oportunity pass. The two things Im most happy about is the fact that I will be abble to be at home for Holy Week 2007 and that the pay on food & beverage is better. But I think that I will really need to excercie my arms to hold those trays lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Keep in mind, if you're at the Mexico Pavilion the food and beverage services could be a lot worse! One is a nice restaurant inside, air conditioned, with the ride going by every 20 seconds! The other is out in the heat but is pretty shaded and a smaller location.
