$$$ How much will I make? $$$

How Much Will I Make?

Well check it out HERE

As a Quick Service Food And Beverage Hostess I will make somewhere between $9.46 and $10.21 an hour.
This is your starting pay. Work hard and maybe it will go up!

Always remember to subtract for taxes. I generally subtract 80 cents.

Have a Magical Day!

The Interview

(Btw-mass posts just work better sometimes lol)

So if you've read the blogs up to this point, then you know that I had my little mishap. BUT got the interviewer I had last time. She was great. Super happy and helpful. My dearest apologies and hopes to those of you who end up getting the rare grumpy interviewer.

During the interview you can expect to be asked:

-What are your top three choices for a job at Disneyland?
-Why do you want to work at Disneyland?
-Do you have any concerns about the living conditions?

My answers:

-Food/Beverage, Merchandise, and Attractions.
-Because of the name. Dropping Disney's name and my acceptance email landed me my first job!
-(This had her in stitches) "I don't care about leaving home. I don't care about the rent. All I care about is that I don't get a bunk bed!!!" She replied that she had never had anyone be only concerned about a bunk bed, but sympathized. So in my notes it says that I do not want a bunk bed and if placed with one, I can ask for them to replace it with a real bed or find me a room where I wouldn't have to have one. Awesome right?!

Be real. Be friendly. Be that slightly demented Disney Happy.

Be Yourself.

<3 Good luck! 

Application Process

February 17: Application submitted

     I submitted my application online after viewing the E-Presentation. It's a bit long so make sure to set an afternoon aside. You want to be completely present with the presentation, the application and the online interview. I got my ID# and the phone number to call for my interview.

                 ProTip: WRITE THESE DOWN AND NEVER LOSE THEM. TATTOO THEM TO YOUR FOREARM IF YOU HAVE TO. BUT DO NOT LOSE THEM!!!

February 22: A fail interview

     So I counted the hours down. I was so excited for this day. I hadn't gotten much sleep due to classes and work but I couldn't be any more excited. I was so nervous I thought I was going to throw up. I got home and sat at my desk with the telephone. Then.... Our phone line went out. I have a deep seeded hate for Charter now. The phone kept hanging up on my interviewer! And only in the last breath did I get the date and time of a new interview date.

February 24: An awesome interview

     The best interview I could have ever asked more. Everything happens for a reason. It was the same interviewer that I had had the first time I applied! We basically gabbed like old friends. It was great! This was pretty much the best day ever.

March 13: A forgotten email

      My sister got married on March 14th. (I realized and notified her that this is Pi Day after we had gotten home. lol) This was the day before. I had asked my boyfriend to check my email this day because internet costs money in a hotel. Jerks. Well he forgot.

March 14: A found email

     I called my boyfriend after a full day of activities. My sisters, cousin and I laid in the hotel beds watching Chicago and I let them talk with him. It was really cute. ^.^ I mentioned that he hadn't told me what I got in my email. He apologized and like the goose he is, went straight to his computer to check even late at night. He told me that I had gotten an email from Disney saying something about needing to call. He paraphrased. (Btw, just read emails to me word for word x] Pet peeve.) Turns out that if he hadn't had forgotten to check my email the day before, I would have missed this email which notified me that I had until 5pm on the 15th to call them or I would be considered to have lost interest!!! Told you everything happens for a reason.

March 15: Accepted!

    Needless to say I called and called all the way home. I left message after message notifying the woman who had contacted me that I was on a train and might lose signal and that calling in the afternoon would be best. I was just talking with my mom about all of the coincidences over this whole process when...SHE CALLED! I was told that I was accepted as Quick Service Food and Beverage. :) Very good day.


So that was my experience with being accepted. I paid the down payment and have been anxious ever since!
