I was hired
Hey yall,
So I went in for my interview with DLR and was hired on the spot into Attractions. I will be starting in Tomorrowland and my first day is Wednesday August 1st. I had applied for custodial 3rd shift because it offers fulltime at 5 days a week with full benefits but the 2nd interview opening wasnt for 3 weeks away, and I couldnt wait that long so I took a part time in Attractions until I can transfer. Im extremely homesick but Im trying to get over it. But I have come to this conclusion, if Im not making what I need to make by the end of October or sooner depending on money I am moving back home or to my aunts spare apartment unit in Santa Cruz like I was going to do originally...which is honestly greatly fine by me, but this whole moving experience and such has already taught me so much. But for now I am just going to see how I like working at DLR and such and see where things go. I do have some family down here so that helps things and hopefully soon I shall start making friends which should help ease the homesickness from missing my parents. Im just kinda bleh right now so I thought I would share all this with my good Disney friends. Wish me luck! Thanks for listening!

Re: I was hired
WOW,That is so wasome to be able to work for Disney. I am here in Florida so I often think of what it would be like to work for Disney World.They may be pretty much the same in most ways. It would be nice to hear the in's and out's of working for Disney. Ya know, benefits,pay,oppurtunitys,etc. We think of moving someday in the near future and Orlando has come across the board. I would love to check into a job there if it is worth it. I did hear the pay is not that great,but I'd like to hear from you all who work there and shed some light on this.Congratulations on your new job. Being away from family is hard. Making friends(a good circle of them) will definetly help.Keep us updated on your progress.

Re: I was hired
Congrats in getting hired so quickly! When will you be able to transfer over to the other position? Sorry to hear that you are suffering from a bit of home sickness:( I hope it passes quickly. Soon you'll be so involved with your new DLR job and all the new friends you'll make there, I'm sure the home sick stuff will be a distant memory!

Once you start making friends, you will not feel the homesickness as much. Give it a chance...if you don't, you'll always think "what if?" Good luck!

Re: I was hired
Congratulations on the job!
I am sorry to hear about eh homesickness, but once you get settled and busy it will definitely not be as intense. It takes courage to try something new, so good for you! |
