Pre-screen group interviews.

Yesterday was the day of the London pre-screen interviews. I'm really not sure how it went! I keep thinking about it, but I really don't know.

Nine of us girls who had been chatting on the Facebook group met up for lunch in Pizza Express beforehand. That was lovely. Definitely a good idea, as it meant we had people to chat to to kind of burn off the nervous energy we all had! It also meant we had people to walk into Chez Gerard with, so there wasn't that awkward 'oh God, so many strangers all looking nervous' moment!

We all signed in, then went and watched a Yummy Jobs presentation (they must save Valerie for the F2F!), which lasted about 40 minutes. It was different from any of the videos and presentations I'd seen before, so that was good. It was really informative, too - they told us things that, although I already knew most of them from being a WDWIP forum and blog stalker (!), we didn't find out until the F2F last year. So I think I approve of the new way of doing things.

I won some mini Creme Eggs for answering a question, yay! It was the simplest one - name all the WDW parks - and then Nick wouldn't let me answer the one about Aulani because I already had a prize, boo hiss.

At the end of the presentation Becky read out the names and times of what group everyone would be in, and we went and sat outside and waited. I was in a group with one of the girls I knew from the Facebook group, Chantelle, so that was nice. After waiting for what felt like AGES (the interviews were supposed to be half an hour to 40 minutes but most of them went on for almost an hour), the 4 o'clock groups went in.

Most of the questions that Nick asked were pretty similar to the ones we'd have been asked if we'd had a phone interview. I think I answered the questions themselves fine, but with 7 other people in the group it felt difficult to get my personality across as much as I'd have liked. Sometimes I wanted to join in with what someone was saying, but didn't want to seem as if I was interrupting them. I'm not feeling great about it, but I just keep hoping I did enough to get to the F2F.

We were told we'll find out by the end of Monday, which is so close! Definitely need to keep myself busy until then.
