MI Second Interview and Updates

So I know I haven't updated since scheduling my second interview so I figured I'd catch up on what has been going on, and how the interview went! So, the day of my interview- I got home early from work and and was prepping myself for the interview when I realized my Mac was acting up and WOULD NOT load the program for the webcam interview! Well, with a couple of minutes until the interview, I remembered my mom's iPad could be used for the interview! I downloaded the app and connected to the interview. I set the iPad up against the screen of my Mac so I didn't really notice the difference between using one or the other. But to the important part- the actual interview!

I was interviewed by a male cast member and two female cast members (i don't want to list their names). Right when we started- during me answering my first question- a third box popped up that another webcam was joining- and sure enough it was two other recruiters! The second they entered the videochat they realized they were in the wrong place, and it was really funny! They apologized a million times and made everyone laugh. When we got back to the interview, it really lightened the mood which made me soo comfortable. They asked me a TON of leadership questions: how I promoted safety in my role as a leader, an example of great guest service, how i dealt with working with a difficult co worker, name a time I led a project in a leadership role, what do I do to recognize my team, and about a time I reached a business goal. There were more but it's always hard to remember all of them after! I felt I did the best that I could have, so now the cards will fall where they may. I would LOVE the MI in retail, and would love to lead a team again :). 

Since the interview, I've been working..and then I took a trip to Disneyworld! :) I went to visit with my roommates from the college program, and am currently on my flight back from Orlando as I type this :) it was such a nice distraction from thinking about recruiting, and to really indulge in the Disney experience that I hope to create for guests soon! I also got to pick the brain of a current Manager in Retail at Magic Kingdom- and he gave me a bit more of an in depth look at managing in retail for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. It made me realize even MORE how much I want this opportunity! 

Other than that, I'm starting to see drop downs happen for alumni PI roles- but none for guest relations yet. The Retail MI and Guest Relations are my absolute dream positions, so getting either of the two would be amazing. Last year, drop downs started to happen around March 28- so hopefully that means we'll see movement this week! Here's to hoping! 

Until I see movement, See Ya Real Soon!
