Still no reply! I know it's only been 6 hours and it's in the middle of the night, but I'm going to neurotically check my email every 15 minutes until SOMETHING happens

It could be weeks....just so you know. Disney just came off of a short hiring freeze and everyone is frantically filling the positions they need to fill before Disney does it again. (They do it every year to help make their financial goals) Dh has been looking to fill certain positions in his division well, since long before a DC member inquired about one of them several months ago. He filled that one, then reorganized, then waited through the freeze, and is now looking for four more.

Can I suggest if you don't hear anything in 2-3 weeks, that you get on the phone and call them to follow-up? Make them remember you - calling will help do that. They probably get hundreds of applications through the website, and it would help to make yourself stand out.

Even if they are sticking to the 5+ years for this position, they could very well consider you for another one instead. But to be realistic, to be hired as a director (in any company) right out of college with no professional work experience in the field is probably a long shot, but that's not to say that Yellow Shoes can't find a home for you doing what you love to do and have it become a worthwhile endeavor...

This is the guy that's there now:

Do you know why he's leaving?

Congrats on the app.... I will send you lots of pixie dust to help.... I really hope you get the job...

Erin · 04-27-2005

Wow! I am so glad you decided to apply.

:c)

I will neurotically be checking this site to see if you have any news from one of the times you neurotically check your email

:P

WEDINDISNEY · 04-27-2005

Heres more pixie dust coming your way... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya. You would be such a wonderful asset to the Disney Family they have to hire you.
Its nice that they keep your resume for 6 months that way you dont have to keep sending them another one.

missy H · 04-27-2005

Good Luck Jenny, don't forget your Mickey Ears at the interview!

rlander · 04-27-2005

Great Jenny!! I am so excited for you. I have applied for several engineering jobs over the past several years. They were all longshots for me since my specialty is Brewery and Pharmaceutical equipement. But if you want it bad enough, you gotta apply. I know someday I will be telling my wife that it's time to move to sunny Florida

BuzzLightyear · 04-27-2005

Good Luck and keep us posted.

I don't know why he's leaving, but the ad has been up FOREVER for his job. Although I TECHNICALLY responded to that job, I made it very clear in the cover letter that I was a new grad who wanted entry level. The problem is, you can't just send a resume and cover letter to a disney email. You have to actually choose a job reference number before you can send, so that's why I was forced to do it this way. I'm convinced that if I can get the interview, I can get the job. The hard part is just getting the interview.
