The interview invites for Australian applicants have finally arrived and I'm here to tell ya all about it.
So on the special day you should receive two emails. One titled "Invite to Schedule Presentation & Interview" and another titled "Complete Your Role Checklist!" Such excitement.
I definitely recommend booking an interview time first so we'll address that straight up.
Interview Invite:
Once you've calmed down enough to be able to see straight, go ahead and click on the email. Inside is some introductory blah blah but let's dispense with the pleasantries and get to the stuff you care about.
The only thing that's super important to take note of is that the email explicitly states you have five days to book your time or they will assume you are no longer interested. I can't think of any reason why a person would leave it longer than a few hours at most but hey, I'm not here to assume or judge people's circumstances. Moving on!
When you click on the link it will take you to a page with a little calendar on it. If you already know (through your school's career site or newsletter service) what date the presentations are at your university then go ahead and click that date. If you are not aware of when you would like to interview (either because you have not been informed by your uni or because presentations are not being held at your school at all) then click through the dates until you find a date and location that suits you.
Once you've selected a date the options for interview times will pop up. The options are all in hour long lots or sessions. I assume that they'll allow anywhere from three to six people to book into each lot as interviews tend to run from 10-30 minutes depending on how sidetracked the conversation gets. Never mind the science of it though. Select a time that suits you and move to the next page.
This next page is simply a confirmation page. It also allows you to cancel or reschedule your time. If you have received a confirmation email from the recruiting team and you have no wish to change your time then you're done with this section. Congratulations!
Confirmation page. Yay I did it!
(If the close button doesn't work then you can just exit the page like you would any normal tab. Make sure you've received your confirmation email before exiting though)
Role Checklist:
The next stage here is the role checklist. Basically this is the part where you tell them where you would prefer to work while you're completing the program. Go ahead and open up that second 'Complete Your Role Checklist!' email.
This one actually contains two links. The first is to the role checklist and the second is to DOC. It asks that once you have completed the role checklist you make sure all of your documents are uploaded. As I've already done this I will not explain it further but if you want to read up on DOC, my previous post on it is here.
The link will take you to the role checklist which is a lot more detailed than it has been in previous years. This one lists the roles individually with details of the job and an accompanying video for each. Here's an example of one of them.
Keep in mind though that this is just you submitting your preferences. You may still receive an offer from Disney that is not one of your preferred roles. I highly doubt they would assign you a role that you put 'no interest' for but there is a chance that you could get any of the roles that you put as low or moderate.
How you select your preferences is totally up to you. I personally put 'no interest' for none of the roles while others have put 'no interest' for all but a few. It all depends on your personal choice and whether you feel you could complete a role if it were offered to you. When considering the less popular roles like Custodial and QSFB I said to myself 'Would you still accept this were it offered to you?" and my answer for every role was a resounding "YES" so I put at least 'low interest' for every role.
Once all the drop-downing is over there is one final step for you to complete. There's a huge chunk of information down the bottom that makes sure you understand that the roles will not be a walk in the park and some have special uniform policies because they involve food handling. Be sure to read this over carefully then add your name and the date to the bottom. Voila!
Now that you've done this you can give yourself a hearty pat on the back. You should have not only received a confirmation email but also your dashboard will have changed. After the invite was sent it will have changed to 'Action Required' and now that you've completed the required action it should look something like this.
Note that not only has the status bar changed to 'Interview Stage' but the details of the interview are listed in the bottom right hand corner.
That's it from me for now. I will be making a Story Time post for my interview invite so if you want to read it and have a laugh I'll pop the link here. And I may make a post in the next few days about business casual attire but I might decide better of it and leave that one to the experts.
If you've come this far, keep your head up. We're nearly out of these woods.
