Thanks to the cast members for the interesting tidbits on working for Disney.
For those of us who have never been self-employed (by choice, anyway ... there were a few years there where I used "free lance" because it sounded better than "unemployed"), working for yourself implies autonomy and we who have never had it have dreams of standing at the top of the pyramid, touching the clouds, and saying, "Yes, move forward!" in huge God-like voices while really great motivational music plays in the background.Originally posted by LoveAnn
And for WD Searcher: We'll have to chat more about that "total autonomy" thing sometime. It's a rather subjective phrase. Also, and this is a quote - "Yes, I could handle myself well at an executive retreat, Yes, I can speak in front of groups, Yes, I can work independently, Yes, I can do internet (and telephone) research, I love brainstorming meetings, and I've been writing on several levels for many years. Oh, and I'd have a course in PowerPoint under my belt (or simply buy it) before I walked into an interview." Thanks again for your time. Hope to chat again soon. Don

So I have a question. My DH and I would love to both work for Disney. We would both happily start on the ground floor with him looking for full time. He is the exact example listed by WDSearcher-powerpoint, loves speaking in public, loves brainstorming meetings,etc. I am looking for something part time that will lead to full time as our kid's get older.All of my experience is in retail and customer service. I love working with people and feel I would be best suited for either a front desk or hotel position or retail where there is a lot of customer interaction. We live in Arizona but I grew up in Orange County CA and at DL. We would love to move to FL, but where do we have a better chance of getting jobs with Disney? There are more jobs listed on the site in CA than in FL, but since it is so expensive to live in CA we were hoping to head to the east coast. Like I said, we have no problem paying dues and would happily start anywhere! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
The upside, Decent housing affordable (Mine was 2 BR 1Ba for 74,000)
