I have marked them PFO. Radio silence when others have interviews is 99% fatal.
Byeee I only have two places to hear back from then😢😢😢😢😢 Chat it's over for me I fear

do i wait to hear back from another ac before accepting a current vs offer, or should i email to withdraw? i know which one i'd prefer so i dont think its right to wait.
there's a chance they'd give it to another candidate (but they might not necessarily give it to somebody after a rejection) so i would withdraw. i did this with my UCAS too haha. but its up to you and some firms will have a reserve list anyway

I would assume soon given its an urgent position, how did you find the tests?
I did too!!
I did. Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back from Disney after the online assessment?
Did you guys also find the personality questions so weird lol I personally decided that if i don't hear by the end of this week i'll assume it's most likely a rejection since it's an asap start but idk, they may also want to be thorough

Agreed!! For one of the slides, my laptop glitched and I accidentally pressed submit without even answering the questions and I couldn't go back:/ I emailed them about it but no one got back to me...

Yeah was super weird, don’t know what to think of the feedback report either
There is a link to a guide in the email where they tell you how to interpret the key words but I doubt it's indicative of how we actually did, we'll probably be compared to other applicants for this position and I think the descriptions are based on how we did compared to some generic spotted zebra applicant pool
