Induction Day!

So I got up very very early to get to Thorpe Park for 8:45 for my induction day. So first I got my name badge from cast services. Then after some waiting around we moved into another room.

We did lots of activities including drawing a picture of your partner and introducing them to everyone. Then we had a break. We also made poem about customers being the heart and soul of Thorpe Park. We were also told about dealing with customers. Then we went to get our uniforms before lunch. They gave us each our locker key and our uniform was inside. The uniform is not great. Black combat trousers and a blue polo shirt. After lunch we did some more activities and got lots of paperwork about health and safety, socials and a handbook. It was a very fun day and we finished at about 1:30.

Then I met Karen who is the manager as well as Nicole who was also at the induction day. She showed us around the office and we met some of the people who work there. They all seem nice and I can't wait to start June. Still need to find somewhere to live though.

I'm going back to disney!

Yes I just got an email saying that i've been accepted. I'm so excited. I will be leaving in October and will come back in April. Once again I will be doing merchandise which is great because I had so much fun last time. I'm suprised that I found out so quickly because last year I waited for weeks.

Interview Day Again!

So i've just got back from my interview in Birmingham. First we filled in forms etc. I chose to put merchandise as my first choice because I enjoyed it so much last time. Then we watched a presentation which was the same as the one I watched last time except for a few things. Next they scheduled the interviews. Mine was after lunch so I met up with Holly for lunch. At my interview we were interviewed in pairs because there were a lot of people. It was a bit strange and the interview was really short. I think it went alright though. I will have to wait 2-3 weeks until I find out the result. So let the waiting begin.

Interview tomorrow :)

So tomorrow is my interview for the Walt Disney World Academic Program. I'm really looking forward to it at the moment although i'm sure i'll be nervous once i'm there. I can't wait to find out more about the program because it's new and no one knows much about it yet. It's gonna be a long day though because I have to catch the train at 7am.

Good News!

Today I got an email from Alexis at Yummy Jobs saying that i'm invited to an interview in Birmingham on 6th March. I am really excited and suprised that I heard so quickly since I don't want to leave until October. But nevermind best to get the interview out of the way.
