Disney Employment: The Disney Look

Posted on by

Before you call the Disneyland Jobline at (800) 766-0888 or the Walt Disney World Jobline at (407) 828-1000, you’d better take a look in the mirror and make sure you’ve got the right look.

Disney employees are expected to have a clean, natural, polished and professional look. Trendy and extreme don’t cut the mustard at Disney so let your Mohawk grow out before you try to get a job … Continue reading →

When Our Kids Feel Jealous or Hate Our Jobs

While the “job jealousy” issue is not the private domain of single parent families, I have found in my experience that many of us single parents do have to contend with our children seeing our work or jobs as being in direct opposition to them. After all, many of our children learn quite young that what “takes us away” from them and home is our work. As single parents, how can we foster an understanding, appreciation, or at least a “truce” with our children when it comes to our jobs? When I first became a single parent and my children … Continue reading →

New Jobs

With the coming of the New Year, there is often an interest in throwing out the old and bringing on the new. This common feeling inspires our resolutions, and for some that may involve looking for a new job. Whether you are forced to find a new job due to a lay off or if you just desire a change, keep these following money decisions at the top of your mind. 1. Negotiate Salary Often many new hires are unaware that an initial salary offer is negotiable. This is true for many types of jobs, even hourly. Don’t be afraid … Continue reading →

Celebrating My One Year Anniversary as a Pets Blogger

Happy Anniversary! Not just to me (I officially became a Pets Blogger one year ago this month) but it’s also Families.com’s Second Anniversary this month too. (See Heather Long’s cute All I Want for Christmas… article for more about that.) In the Beginning… When Lisa Pietsch, who was the then Administrator (Heather’s now taken over that post), accepted my application and assigned me to Pets I was floored. I went from being very excited to very nervous. “Can I do it? Will I be able to meet the monthly minimums? What if people don’t like my stuff? What if I … Continue reading →

When Mommies Have to Work

As women of the Church, we have been counseled to stay at home and raise our children rather than entering the work force. We are to be the guardians of the home, to keep it safe from outside influences, and to create a haven for our family members. However, there are now many women who find themselves having to work outside the home. They become divorced or widowed, their husbands have been injured, or their financial situation is such that two incomes are needed. When the lesson “The Women of the Church” was taught in Relief Society last week, one … Continue reading →

Disney Interview Tips

Posted on by

If you are applying through a college program, chances are your interview will be a telephone interview. If you go through the casting office, your interview will likely be face-to-face there at the Casting Office. Telephone Interview Tips Limit any background noise as much as possible. College dormitories are not known for their peace and quiet but be sure to turn off any television or music you may have playing in your room and close the door so that hallway noise doesn’t seep in. If you have a roommate, be sure that they know you are on an important phone … Continue reading →

The Benefits of Working for “The Mouse”

Posted on by

I thoroughly enjoyed my time working at Walt Disney World in Florida. In fact, I’d have to say it was one of the very best jobs I’d ever had. Disney employees are never referred to as employees. Everyone who receives a paycheck from the Disney Company is a Cast Member. Whether you are working behind the scenes or in front of crowds of Disney enthusiasts, you are a cast member. Every person who works for the mouse is there to make your Disney experience the best it can possibly be and chances are, you will only see about 10% of … Continue reading →
