I'm happy for you! Hopefully you get the monorail!

I had my interview last Friday... So I should know something either this upcoming Friday or the Friday after that.

I think you actually have a pretty good chance. I knew two people who were monorail pilots during their college program. One lived in the apartment above mine, and told us that during his interview the only thing he wanted to do was drive the monorail - and that's what he got!

It all depends on the openings available. I would love to be trained, but being in merchandise it's not the easiest transistion. Plus I'm only seasonal now, so there's no way... One day maybe!

Good luck to you!

I'm going to be down there the same time as you will be but I am doing the career start program not the college program. I will be down there from 5/28/07 to 1/4/07.

I didn't think so. I had never worked in merchandise before my first CP, and that was my role. I found that it was pretty simple (though sometimes I was kind of slow counting back the money, and had to triple check I was giving back the right amounts). The only thing I didn't like about merchandise was working the Squeeze Breeze/Glow carts. You have to work out of an apron- not fun.

Unless you are working at a resort, most locations have you working both inside and outside. For pin trading, you are given a lanyard and pins for which to trad with guests. You are not allowed to keep them. At the end of the CP you hand them back.

Awesome congratulations! I'm planning to have transportation as my #1 role, and operating a monorail has been my dream ever since I could remember, honestly, I don't know how the odds would be for that, but hopefully you'll get it!

What was your interview like? Did your interviewer say any of the possible roles you would have for transportation?

Firstly, thanks :wave:

My interview went very well...better than I had expected. I had planned on this one just being my practice interview. I wore a Mickey shirt and showed my passion for Disney and the monorail. I acted out how I would interact with guests, etc. My interviewer seemed very impressed with me and my desire for the job. She said she would try very hard to get me Monorail Pilot.

So far, it's looking good. LSU held an informational meeting about process on the university's side of things. Everyone there (but me) was Quick Service Food and Beverage...I don't if that's what they all chose (seems unlikely) or if I really did impress my recruiter enough to get my dream job. I'm still very nervous (haven't accepted yet but I need to by Monday:lookaroun ).

What was the name of your recruiter/ interviewer? I think I might know her.

Have you picked a start-date yet?

The only thing I'm nervous about is raising enough money before my program starts so I can buy a convertible! :ROFLOL:

You'll love it man. There are so many great people, they become like your family.


PS. If you get the Monorail, I'm gonna come ride up front with you after I get off work.
