So, I thought I would start my Blog for my year to come! Too keep up to date with all those who want to know the ins and outs of my journey!
Lets start at the very beginning! (a very good place to start...when you read you begin with ABC...) It all started in May after another trip to Disneyland. I was back at work gushing over how much I love my time at Disney. When someone jokingly suggested that I should work for Disney. I then during my work day at sometime googled who when how I could do such a thing. Found the Disney International Program site. I then decided that I would at least apply. Locating the website that told me that there is a company called Yummy jobs that I needed to find to do such a job. Finding out that I would have to wait a over a month to apply. Placed the idea in the back of my head and moved on. It was on the 2nd of July that I realized that it was the 2nd of July and applications for Feb 2011 Started on the 1st of July on the Yummy Jobs website. I busily at work applied for my job (when i was on break). I then went home and informed my parents that I had applied to work at Disney World. They had some instant reservations. Cause the thought is who would want to leave WestJet to work somewhere else. The answer is anyone that has been in the call centre for 3 years and sees no leaving in site! I decided that all I could do is apply and cross what ever bridges come when I get there.
And then I waited...oh the waiting...I then I got an email...on the 13th of July that they wanted an phone interview! And I was happy!
Then I waited... and waited... on the 2nd of Aug. So doing my phone interview while having a manicure talk about relaxation! I hoped that my over excitement and nevousness did not make my interview terrible. So, after talking to Kristen I hung up and waited...
And Waited...and waited... I got an email on the 17th to let me know that I needed to wait some more... then I needed to wait no more! They wanted me for a Face to Face interview! YAY!!!
Though findign out on the first of September and then Waiting for the beginning of Oct 3rd for the actual interview was just a pain! and again more waiting!
So off I go on the 2nd of October for my interview on the 3rd in Toronto! Good thing I work for WestJet! Travelled far for little tiny price! Interview I felt went really well! I also met some great people that I hoped that I would be working with. So, I flew home and the waiting began
again.... told that I would only would have to wait 2-3 weeks... By this time I have bought into the whole idea of leaving and living in Orlando for a year...SO 2-3 weeks felt like at least a year!
So, I waited... and yes waited...for what seemed like forever...then It was Monday the 17th of October, I was at my Mom's school doing my yearly duty as being "a friend of..." some ever so famous story book character. Though this year no Clifford and therefore no Character that would fit. (Friend of... is a Disney term...used if someone is a Character...) Kristen from Yummy Jobs called to say they would like to offer me a position Starting July 26th 2011! Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, now while waiting and waiting and waiting!
I am learning Patients....and the truth in the statement all good things come to those who wait!
Congrats! I'm so happy for you! That is awesome, and Chris and I think you'll be fabulous. Way to go!
