Job Interview: Disney Store

One of the most wonderful phonecalls that I've ever recieved in my life was from a gentleman at the Disney Store in the White Rose Centre, asking me if I could attend an interview.

There is a God in the world.


So I toodled over yesterday and after the disastrous group interview that was Aldi the other week (I was in a group where we were all chatty cows but I was the unlucky bugger who couldn't get a word in edgeways), I vowed that I would make myself stand out amongst the others in that Disney-fied canteen.


First things first, we were interviewed by two girls and for sure, one of them, at least, was looking at me the most whenever she was talking.


We talked about moments that inspired us the most in the last year, why we're currently looking for work and why we handed our CV into the Disney Store in the first place.


But, by far, the best question to finish the day was "Who is your favourite Disney character and why?"


Now, up until a year ago, I wouldn't have been able to pick, because I watch so many of them. But one boring night of uni, me and my housemate opened a bottle of wine, was watching 'The Little Mermaid' when my said friend, lightweight to the core and already slurring a little, said, "Oh my god, Laurie, you are sooooo Sebastian." Now, it's not everyday that you get compared to a small Jamaican lobster of a man who's a suck up, snitch and a bit of an all-round arse. But from that moment, now I can't think about the little crustacean without laughing my socks off.


So, I stunned them with my nerdiness about the Disney store, I smiled a lot and gave a quirky and original favourite character (all the other girls said ones from Winnie The Pooh!).


I hope they ring me back.
