Hiring at Disneyland Resort

[Gwyren]

Dang is Disney making a hiring push...

http://www.disneycareers.com

now if they would only hire more mechanical engineers.

[thndrmtnskp]

they always are, besides its gonna be a busy summer

[Malibu Minion]

I wished I lived down there, I would really like a job at DL

[Gwyren]

I have been tracking the site for months...what is the average training time for a CM? I would have thought they would have started the hiring spree sooner.

Oh! (pounces and huggles the Megara avatar)

[Malibu Minion]

I think that maybe they have already started to hire people for the summer?! Train them for Spring Break, so they get use to all the crazy people, who knows. Any CM's out there who can help???

[Arilvdc]

you get two days orientation and two days on the job training.

[ah schucks]

NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO WANNA BE JUNGLE CRUISE SKIPPERS:

Imagine the interview is a bit of an audition. Ham it up and be sarcastic. Let them know you want this posistion.

For the rest of you attractions is looking for cream of the crop, so but your best personality forward. Hide tattoos, men should be clean shaven and all people should have one color hair. Hope this helps.

[Malibu Minion]

Thanks for the info guys

Actually they have too look like Charlie Brown... Bald with one hair that is colored...

[TinkPink]

And the ONE hair color shouldn't be purple, green, orange, blue or fire engine red, by the way.

Oh and a hint: DRESS UP! When I applied most people were in jeans and casual wear. I wore a suit and I stood out. It shows you are taking it seriously and it is not just a silly summer job to get your parents off your back like a lot of them. My interviewer commented on this.

[FloggingMorgy]

so...age requirements for anything...?

[Malibu Minion]

I think 16 or older? I'm not sure.

[tabacco]

Another interview suggestion for Disney: Smile. They really do look for it.

[Mr_Chopsticks]

Awwww I always wanted a job at DL but my braids are too long

[Retlaw Yensid]

I will work there one day...but I guess I would have to say good bye to my side burns....

[dramaqueen]

You can probably keep your sideburns I agree with the advice to dress professionally and definitely behave that way! They are looking for people who will maintain the appearance and demeanor of the park and interact well with guests. Just don't act like too much of a Disney geek A cheerful and helpful personality will get you just as far.

[FloggingMorgy]

so, then what's the best place to work?

[dramaqueen]

There are several threads on this. It depends on your opinions and what is important to you, etc.
