Hi peoples, I had my first group interview last week for the disney store. I just wanted to post on her a the questions they asked me and how it went.
All the other tips I read about for this interview were completely different than what actually happened. I think maybe the other tips were from people in america, and since I'm in the UK, it changed, idk.
Okay so there were only four of us. (two apparently didn't show up) ah well
Literally there were three questions.
The first thing they told us to do was to pick an item from the store that most relates to us. I picked Woody from Toy Store because he's a fun loving guy, and because he's loyal to all his friends and just as inviting to others.
The others picked Anna and Elsa and Snow White as they're family orientated and all that.
Secondly (oh there was only one man in the room with us, the manager), she put a couple of items on the table, (random stuff, a book, cream, a dvd, spray) and we had to sell that product to the rest of the group. The item you picked didn't have to actually be what you were selling. You had to become creative and use your imagination. I picked the book and pretended that as soon as you open it, the characters would come alive and join you as you read the book.
And then lastly we had to get into groups, and since it was only 4 of us, we just all came together. We had to reenact a story from a book. We picked the frozen book but included different disney princesses into the story to make it creative.
That was it basically. At the end she told us that when we start that we're gonna have to know a couple disney facts to tell the children when they come in, and literally my heart dropped cause I thought she was gonna quiz us there and then on some random disney facts, but she didn't.
We then had to fill out a form with out name, phone number, available hours, why you want to work there and what our greatest achievements are (that one threw me off a bit)
Oh and please don't forget to ask questions, it lets the manager know that you are interested. No one asked any questions, until she was like, don't you want to know what you have to do in the job?.
I asked when we would know if we got the job or not and she said withing a week.
They called me back the next day to tell me that I got the job, so yay!
So if anybody has any questions, feel free to ask me anything!
Good Luck!!
