So I live locally, and I'm a huge Disney nut! I went to school for A/V Production and I have been working in the industry for a few years. I just had my phone interview this afternoon with Beth and it went really well, (at least from what I could tell...) My expertise is audio, and during my phone interview they had actually asked me some audio questions, which threw me off guard. (Figured I would get asked those in a 2nd interview from an Entertainment Person.) anyways! I have scheduled a 1:1 interview at the casting center wednesday afternoon on the 7th. I'm very excited and extremely nervous!!!!!

Anybody else working in the Tech department have any tips or facts for the interview???

Did you have a phone interview and then a 1:1 interview? or were there more?

What kind of questions should I expect???


THANKS!!!!!

I work at the studios as an Ent Tech. I did all mine over the phone and it was a while ago. There is a good chance the position your going for is in the same park. We have openings.

Thanks BACKSTAGEMATT! I hope it goes well, I've been trying to do a lot of research and I can't find anything on ent. techs :mad: I have a friend whose a LD with PSAV out of the Swan and Dolphin. But he doesn't know much about the ent. techs either. I'm just really crossing my fingers. And I'm nervous about the questions in my interview. I was already asked how to mic a drum set and what mics to use. As well as define phantom power. I answered both. But I'm a little unsure what will be next in the 1:1 :confused:

How to mic a drum set? Really? There are probably as many ways to mic drums as there are drummers!


Just curious...Did you answer in generalities or with specific model numbers?

Whoops! I meant Beta 52A for the kick.... (CRAP!!!! I hope I didn't say that during my interview) :( I was a little nervous..... Oh well... I guess mistakes happen!

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have a phone interview for an Entertainment Tech on Tuesday afternoon, and I would appreciate any advice or tips from anyone on the forum...

My background is freelancing with a Sound/Lighting company, I've worked as a sound tech and lighting tech for some bars/nightclubs in Indiana, I've DJ'd for weddings and nightclubs, and I've volunteered and worked for a mega church with lighting, including Martin 250's and 550's, sound boards up to 56 channels, and stage set up, microphones, mobile set ups, and installed setups. I also worked as a TV photographer for 4+ years in videography, editing, and microwave/satellite connections.

If anyone has any tips on what to read up on and prepare for the phone interview I would greatly appreciate it...I am an internal candidate currently working in QSR to get my foot in the door as well. Thank you!

I know this thread is out dated but I just made it the second round of interviews for an Ent Tech. What can be expected from the next round of interviews?

That is what I figured would happen. I actually had a couple of those questions above on my first interview. It is supposed to be a group interview for what I understand. Thanks.
