Today I pressed that all important ‘Submit’ button! I am finally and officially in the pool of applicants… and now I can’t change my application *gulp* I just hope it’s all correct – I did quadruple check just to be absolutely certain that nothing was awry. But now the hard part begins – the long wait to find out if I get invited to a group interview – best get to doing some research on some of the questions I might get asked!
TTFN, friends!

So today, it happened:
I’ve officially started my application to be a Disney Cultural Representative! Ahh!
I’m very excited and nervous. The reason I haven’t quite finished it yet is because, well, it wasn’t quite as simple as I thought it was going to be. I thought this would be like any other job application; fill in the blanks, wait for a bit, get an interview, get offered the job (or get rejected). Not Disney. Of course there is the usual – name, address, work experience, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera… however there’s a few that are slightly more difficult to answer.
Why do you value cultural exchange and interaction? (1500 words maximum)
What is your motivation for this program? (1500 words maximum)
Final comments (1500 words maximum)
Uhh… okay? What does this even mean! Luckily I’d already seen a few YouTube videos from my favourite CRP blogger Adam Hattan which have helped me thus far; one that helps you with the application itself, and the other helping you prepare your CV and cover letter:
After watching these I was still a little confused as to what exactly I was supposed to write, but after a bit of digging around the depths of the YouTube community I found a video by a lovely chap called Joe Stapleton. He reads out what he wrote for his application and explains why he wrote what he wrote, and it really helped me think of how to make my application personal to me but also stand out amongst the sea of other applications that are no doubt flooding in!
Right. Now I’m a little more clued up on the matter, I suppose I’d better go and draft my answers!
