Unfortunately I can't replace them. Many of them were hand-drawn in pastels.

Re: Yellow Shoes - need thoughts/opinions

Disney has the same hiring practices as any other company. You should also know that the CM's who work in the parks are generally not salaried, and the "steps" to promotion for a salaried employee are very different. A salaried employee rarely starts at the bottom. Salaried generally refers to skilled candidates with education and/or experience, and that's what an advertising position would fall under. It's definitely worth a shot. Good luck!! (And I agree about repairing that portfolio somehow, even if you have to leave some damaged pieces out)

That's true that Disney promotes heavily from within. I mean, come on, Al Weiss started as a Custodial Host back in the day and now he's the president of the place!

My Disney recruiter asked me what my ultimate dream was at Disney, and I said, "well, I wouldn't mind having Al's job!"

Anyways, I say go for it- it's always worth a try, and if you're dropping off a resume, what are you really losing, two sheets of paper at most?

Re: Yellow Shoes - need thoughts/opinions

EJ, I dropped my resume off at CC and also went to the career page of Disney.com and applied to a few jobs.

I check weekly for new openings and apply to any that are close to what I'm looking for.

Don't give up...

A friend of mine says "If you don't ask, you don't get." I would definitely give it a shot!
