Tips for Acing your Disney College Program Phone Interview

In This Article:

The interview is the most nerve-wracking part of the DCP application process, at least it was for me! Here are some of the tips and tricks that I used in my interview and it must have worked because I was accepted for the Fall 2020 program!

Be Honest

While you may want to embellish your skills and experiences and give the answers that you think Disney wants to hear, it's important to be honest.

Write Down Your Interviewers Name

By thanking your interviewer by name it shows that you paid attention and that you really care about the process!

Smile

I know it sounds dumb to smile while you're talking on the phone, but you can hear a smile in someone's voice. Smiling makes you friendlier and more likable. It's important that you make a good impression since this is your only human to human interaction in the application process.

Be Prepared to Ask Questions

By having questions it shows that you have done your research and want to know more about the program. If you don't have any questions about the program, ask your interviewer a personal question. Many of them completed the Disney College Program so ask them about their experience, or what their favorite part of working for Disney is, or even a difficult question like what was their worst experience. An interview should be a two-sided conversation!

Find Somewhere Quiet

Be sure to be in your own space for your interview. It's a high stress situation and the last thing you need is you roommate to come in and start distracting you or your dog wanting attention. The interview requires you to think on your feet and present you at your best and you can't do that by giving just half of your attention.

Pause and Breathe

The interviewer knows that you have to think. Don't rush into your answer if you aren't prepared to start speaking. It's better for you to take a minute, think about the question and then respond than to immediately start rambling. The interviewer wants you to be successful, they aren't trying to trip you up. They're just trying to see how you think on your feet and how you respond to different situations!

Best of luck on your application journey! Sending lots of pixie dust your way future applicants and have a magical day!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
