The web based interview.

The WBI can be a little daunting because it is the difference between moving one step closer to working with Disney and being rejected. But if you're relaxed and have an idea of what the WBI is like, you'll do just fine.

As I said in my previous post, I did the web based interview the same day I applied. After I had gotten the email for an invitation to the WBI, I decided to spend twenty minutes away from the computer. I was so excited about applications being out that I wanted to calm myself down so that I wouldn't go too fast or miss anything because of my excitement.

The WBI first asked some general questions like why you want to do the DCP and stuff like that. Unfortunately I can't really remember this part very well, but I do know that it wasn't timed. The next two sections were timed though and they were based on two different scales. One being that you "strongly agree, agree, are neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree." The other is a number scale of 1 to 5. Five being that you really possess that quality and 1 being that you don't.

Here is my advice for the WBI: avoid neutral and lukewarm answers. There's a theory that the interview is based on a point system and if you put "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree," you get more points. I think I answered two questions as neutral. Disney wants you to be completely confident in your answers, but that being said, be honest. If you're only on time sometimes, say that because in the next section of the interview, you'll be asked the same questions but they'll be worded differently. This is so Disney knows that you're telling the truth. It is also important to be honest because a.) Disney knows that no one is perfect and b.) when you begin the interview, you feel compelled to sound as appealing as possible, but towards the end of the interview, people tend to give more honest answers. I would also suggest that you take the WBI when you're well rested and free of distractions just so you'll be able to focus on it entirely. And don't have a friend or a parent over your shoulder telling you what to put. You don't need anyone influencing your answers; this is YOUR interview.

Overall, just be honest, don't second guess yourself, free yourself from distractions, and relax.You'll do great!
