It has always been my dream to one day work at Walt Disney World in some capacity. I am a 27-year-old college graduate with a B.A. in management. and currently live approximately 1,000 miles away from the happiest place on earth. Earlier this year, Disney had a variety of positions posted on their website that they were hiring for (bus drivers, culinary, housekeeping, etc.). Now it appears that the only full-time entry-level position currently available is culinary. While I do have over nine years of restaurant experience (five as a server, four as a manager), my preference long-term would be to do something else. In other words, I would not mind getting hired in culinary, but would like an opportunity to transfer to another area in the future (hotel front desk, retail, almost anything in the theme parks, etc.). I imagine the reason I never see those jobs posted is that they are in higher demand. Are they typically filled by current employees transferring from another area? Or is the turnover so low that they are never posted?
Does anyone have any experience doing this? Specifically, getting hired in one area and trying to transfer to another one later? How difficult is the process? How long must you be in one area before you can transfer to another?
