They do. However, it is for alumni only. And only limited roles (this summer, it was only merchandise, attractions, custodial, QSFB, and I think lifeguard).

Too bad they don't have transportation for Summer. Then I can go from Spring Advantage into summer! hehe

Or just go seasonal. Boy would I love to be a seasonal. Then it would be the best of both worlds for me. I can take care of my commitments up here in CT and spend a few months of the winter in FL. I'll have it made for me.

Now there's this new online web interview and it's multiple choice questions, some you have 50 seconds to answer and the 2nd set you have 20 seconds.

I've heard that people are being rejected based on those alone. The reason we know this is because if you are rejected then you don't make it to the screen that tells you to call in schedule an interview, which I did.
Wow, things have changed since I did the CP. Congrats on getting this far and good luck! It was one of the best experiences of my life...5 years ago this week my roomies and I moved into Chatham - we're trying to plan a 5 yr reunion of friends/neighbors..can't wait!

That's what I did - I've been seasonal since my program ended 4 1/2 years ago. Definitely a great option if moving permanently to FL is not in the plans....

You wouldn't have to do that- Spring Advantage is Jan-Aug (Summer is May-Aug). :)

I would go seasonal afterwards, or become a campus rep. That's what I did, and it was awsome.

Oh boy! That was fast.

But seriously- I hate the idea of WDW doing the online interview. I think it's a bad idea.

First, Good luck Monorail_Red. Hope all goes great for you. (Wish I had done this when I was in school)

Then there's this gem:

Gah! Will the parents back off and let their kids handle their lives??!?

I work in a University, and am constantly hearing "I'm hear to discuss my daughters..... My son is attending in the fall and has a hold...."

Well, then tell them to call or stop by. I swear this current round has more 18 year olds that can't wipe their own butt.
