Hey everyone! I applied for Part Time Merchandise on December 9 and on my "dashboard" it still says my application is Pending Review.
A few questions-
- For those that have applied or been hired fairly recently, how long did it take to hear back from Disney once you submitted your application?
-Will you get a response no matter what, or only if they are interested?
-On the Disney Careers website under the FAQ section it says that you are encouraged to apply for all positions you are interested in. A week or so after I applied for Part Time Merchandise they added Part Time Attractions to their list of currently available positions. I tried to apply for this position as well but it says "You have previously applied to the maximum number of jobs allowed at this time". I did notice that when I try to apply for other Hourly positions it will not let me, but when I try to apply to a salaried position it will let me. Do they only let you apply to one Hourly position at a time for some reason? And because I applied for Merchandise will they not consider me for Attractions at all?
- When I was 16 (a little over 10 years ago) I went to a Disney job fair with a friend...we were both hired to work at Hollywood Studios (then MGM) in attractions. I went to the Traditions class and then decided I did not want to drive that far to work and never showed up after Traditions (which I now obviously regret
...but I was young at the time and just looked at it as "another job"). Will this affect my hiring status in any way? I figured because it was over 10 years ago it wouldn't matter, but could this be what is holding up my application?
In the past few years I have become very passionate about the Disney company. I already have my AA degree and am currently going to UCF for Hospitality with the hope of working my way up with the Disney company. I would eventually love to be an area manager in one of the theme parks, but I figured I need to get my foot in the door somewhere- thus applying for an hourly position- which I feel I am more than qualified for...not to mention that I am more knowledgeable about the company, parks, etc. than many people that are currently working there.
Just wondering what I need to do (if there is anything else I CAN do) to get hired by Disney!
Any help would be appreciated...thanks!
