Just wanted to share a little story here..

I will make it quick and easy.

  1. Mere 2 days after returning from WDW. Got an alert for Job positions at DCL. One of the jobs I'd love to check.
  2. Icing the cake was that the job paid way better than even my current job.. can you imagine?
  3. I applied both in the local company in charge of recruitment and then on Disney's careers site.
  4. I forgot about the thing for a few days.
  5. I check and I was scheduled for a local interview with the local recruitment company via Zoom.
  6. Interview goes just fine and dandy and tell me that I will get an email for english tests AND the link for a Disney audition.
  7. After a few weeks. I had to get into my penguin suit for the Disney Audition. All went well. We shared stories, photos, etc..
  8. 4 days later, got the surprise that all the steps in the Disney's careers were GREEN. I had passed the interview and now was the more serious things to check. Studies..etc..
  9. Had a bit of trouble getting my blood tests done. Barely made to the cutout date. All my doctors helped me fill out the medical necessary to work for DCL. Including some good talk about my hearing levels with implant.
  10. In the meantime I was added to the whatsapp groups of DCL Mexico (where all the employees and recruits hang out with the recruitment company bosses)
  11. Sadly, after 2 weeks of waiting. My studies were reviewed and they manager finally told me the results. My hearing was not enough. They did not count the implant as a solution, therefore I was a liability and was denied with a "permanently unfit" by the bahamian authority.
  12. On the good side. I finally put this ghost to rest (aka confirmation that I'm not fit for cruise jobs). And it did not cost me that much since I had already planned to have those tests for my medical of this year XD

Oh Cesar, sorry to hear that, after all your good efforts. I'm praying for a good opportunity to open up for you, elsewhere.

I'm ok.
felt really good that by pure effort, I made past the first row of the recruitment processes. I would have probably made until the end with effort and hard work.
Sadly there are companies that just do a full cutdown regardless of the circumstances and not doing a full test of capabilities of a person.
The only limitation was something I had no say (which unfortunately for me, is a very common recurring theme with some companies) aka, being catalogued immediately as a deaf person for having an implant.

Anyone else see the finale of Dancing with the Stars last night? I thought all the couples this year were excellent. Tough decision to pick a winner, but I like the couple they chose. IMO, it would have been a tie between the top two teams: Iman Shumpert/Daniella Karagach and Jo Jo Sliwa/Jenna Johnson.

Sorry I haven't watch since Jennifer Grey won with stress fractures in her back. IMHO that season wasn't even close

I usually only watch "the masked singer"
but you caught my attention. Saw Jojo's performance of "born this way". Girl really knows how to move!

Hey, anyone else watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving last night? (PBS showed it last night, as well as I guess some other streaming services, etc.).

I love all the Charlie Brown (and Peanuts gang) specials during the holidays. Had a lot of chuckles last night. One funny detail I noticed (although I'm sure Mr. Schulz didn't plan this), was that Peppermint Patty -- looked like the shoes she wore were green Birkenstocks?! :hilarious:

One of the funniest comedians is Rodney Dangerfield. :hilarious: I couldn't resist sharing some of his (family friendly) jokes below! :joyfull:

With my old man I got no respect.
I asked him "How to get my kite in the air?" He told me to run off a cliff.

I went to a massage parlor. It was self-service.

My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen the roaches hang themselves.

I'm so ugly I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.

I'm so ugly my father carried around a picture of the kid that came with his wallet.

When I was born, the doctor came into the waiting room and said to my father, "I'm sorry. We did everything we could, but he pulled through anyway."

One year they wanted to make me a poster boy -- for birth control.

Rodney Dangerfield is DEFINITELY one of my all-time FAVE comedians…!!!!!!! :joyfull:
