International recruitment question ^-^

[leeroy8]

Hello!

I live in Australia, and would looooove more than anything to work at Disney World. Could anyone tell me how I would go about finding information/applying? I can't seem to find any information for International people wanting to be cast members...

Thanks

Well all the information I know for now is on http://www.disney.go.com/DisneyCareers/wdwcareers/international/apply.html#allothers

I'm trying to collect as many information as I can me too^^

It seems you don't have a contracted agency in Australia..

i have the same promblem off finding out info on this! as i am from the UK and both me and my fiance wish to work at disney! but are not willing to go with out each other and want to now if this is possible!?!

Wow... I feel slightly better, knowing I'm not the only one with this issue I was feeling silly - I thought I was just wasn't looking hard enough for the info!


It's not fair But it's even more crazy - I'm currently living in Japan for a few months (working as an English teacher) and I tried to apply for employment at Tokyo Disneyland (I live just 45 away from it!). They are consantly looking for foreign people to work there - mainly as cast members who show their faces (like the Disney Princesses, Mary Poppins, Wendy from Peter Pan, etc).

My application was rejected, however. Apparantly, for foreign people to work at Tokyo Disneyland, they need to apply for the job and have an interview in their OWN country, then (if employment is granted) remain there until flights, visas etc are organized. It seems so crazy! There are auditions in Melbourne (my home city in Australia) this month, and I can't audition because I'm living in Japan; and yet I can't apply for the job living in Japan... Arg, I don't get it :lookaroun I can't work there because I live too close!


So... Anyway, if anyone could provide some information on work for international people at Disneyworld/Disneyland, it would really be appreicated!

I live NZ & would love to work @ Disney World

Hi Lee,

I'm from New Zealand and would love to work at Disney World.

I've e-mailed the International Recruitment once, however they said that they don't accept applicants from NZ.

If you find any more info on how to apply from the Australia/New Zealand part of the world can you please let me know.

I know that just lately Australia was part of the Internation College Program, I had roommates from Australia, I don't know how they got hooked up with the program but I do know it's doable.
