Employeed for 6 months?

[progroupie]

Does anyone have anymore details on this policy? I finished my college program, went home for a much needed break for a couple of months, took care of some things and then after a few months moved back to Orlando. I went to casting and applied for a part time role and after like a three hour process of sitting in the lobby I went in for the interview and was told that I couldn't be hired until I had a steady job with the same company for 6 months even though I had clear re-hire status. They said this is the policy for all new hires and since there was a break between my college program and my application I was considered a new hire. But I know plenty of people who have been hired without having a steady job for 6 months and now I'm confused. I'm trying to decide if it would be worth it to go back to casting, it was such a long drawn out experiance that I don't want to do it for nothing. I've been employed at my current job for about 3 months.

I know its tough, but try to just stay for three more months

I've heard of that happening. WDWDude made a good point. If you can, stick it out for 3 more months. Also, make sure you have a good record with your current employer.

or you could also go to Universal and try to get hired there. They love people and often hire people that worked for Disney, because you already know about the theme park etiquette.

Oh I'm very happy with my current job, I'm at Sea World and I'm even considering staying seasonal with them once Disney takes me, was just wondering if they'd take me sooner.
