Asked to all employees at The Walt Disney Company

  • answer all the standard questions that any hr would ask

  • you have to be really perky you have to know lots about the company and you have to be a good talker to do well, my spouse can be a little shy at front but new Walt Disney property and near the company but because he didn't get very vocal with the interviewer which didn't know much about Transportation you didn't do well. My spouse apply to be a driver trainer and because he followed the direction of the GSM at Epcot and did not get over to the interview until a few minutes after the interview time was told that he was done because he didn't follow instructions I don't understand how you follow a dsm's instructions but you still get washed out which can be very disappointing. I have tried to be a relief coordinator was told that I was going to get it as well as a CP trainer and unless you come in early and just sit with the GSM office you don't seem to get anywhere in this company.

  • 15 minutes

  • My interview in 2014 took about 30 minutes mine went really well I have no issues with a woman named Susan not sure if she still there but I really liked her and she kept in contact with me because I didn't come for my job until about 3 months later, but my spouse flew all the way from California to Florida with me to interview and he got about 2 minutes with his interviewer saying that they do not hire drivers without a Florida license which is not true and just washed my spouse away makes no sense really you spent all that money flying from California to Florida and you get a minute and a half doesn't make sense. Of course now working for Disney World almost 4 years lots of people have told me that I should have asked for a supervisor or my spouse should have to get a different response but how would we have known that back then.
