I thought it would be appropriate to talk about Acceptances today....because, guess what?! I just finished the process of accepting my very own employment offer from Disney for my second college program! (: I was accepted to my first choice of role, Concierge for the Fall Advantage program. I never expected to get placed in such a competitive role, and I truly can't express my gratitude! YAY!
On March 26, 10 days after my phone interview, I received the email. Not just any email, but THE email. The one I had complained to all of my coworkers about. The one I had been checking every day for. The one I was so so grateful and excited to see.
So your acceptance looks a lot like this guy (shown to the left). But this little email is just the beginning of a three step process. In order to fully accept your employment offer from Disney, you've got to review your offer letter, pay your program fees, and select your program dates, all within 7 days.
When you receive this email, I'm pretty sure you'll access your Candidate Hyperportal/Disney Dashboard in record time. Why? Because that's where you're going to find your role!
As soon as you log on, you will be able to view your offer letter, available for 7 days. After that, it will be gone. This letter includes the role you were accepted to, the term you were accepted for, and the pay that you will receive. Below that will also be your job responsibilities within that role. If you are satisfied with everything, scroll to the bottom of the offer letter and select Yes, agreeing to accept the offer, to continue!
After that, you will receive another email requesting that you pay your program fees. Your program fees are around $300.00. There is a $100.00 Program Assessment fee, which claims to help support the events and activities that occur in the housing complexes. The other is a $200.00 Housing Fee that will be applied to your rent during your first few weeks as a CP. Should you choose to opt-out of the Disney Housing and live off-site, you will be refunded the $200.00 after you have successfully completed 30 days of work.
The last step in the three part process is selecting your program dates. Disney will send you one last email directing you to go log on to you Disney Dashboard again. To the right of your Dashboard, under Your Interviews and Events, then below the Pending Invitations tab, you'll find a link to select your program dates.
Once you've done that, you have officially completed your acceptance. Congratulations!
Next time we'll talk about the different housing options available in the program. I chose to live off-site for both of my programs, and will be discussing a lot about that as well!
