[Tinker Bell]

You will do great! Just remember they are regular people, just like you and me. Nothing to be nervous about. They were in your shoes at one time.

CONGRATS!!!!

it's a fun process!

you have to start out at the bottom though... so that means... not a lot of money?

i made more money when I worked in high school... lol no joke!

[Tinker Bell]

Did they give you options or do they decide where you will work? Tell us more!

[MayBWeRMnt2B]

as requested, here's more about the interview process...

i arrived at the casting center 10 minutes early (go me!) looking very professional in my business suit if I do say so myself.

walked inside... walked up this looooooooong ramp. and got an application to fill out from the nice people at the desk.

Sat down, filled out application.

Went to go watch the required Disney casting video.

Went back to wait for my name to be called.

Was asked a few basic questions.

then asked where I wanted to work!

My first choice wasn't available, so I went to my second and I love it!

And then I spent an hour filling out paperwork, tax stuff, confidentiality stuff, when my classes are, yad ayada yada

and that was it!

pretty simple process...

I'm excited though! it's a start!

[MayBWeRMnt2B]

Did they give you options or do they decide where you will work? Tell us more!

they let you pick. they ask you what park you'd like to be at. Then they look and see what's available!

[Tinker Bell]

Do you have to have any sort of work experience?

[MayBWeRMnt2B]

Do you have to have any sort of work experience?

nope.

they have a 'career start' program that is for high school students who want to get work experience before going to college.

the recruiters said, it doesn't matter what type of work you did or if you worked at all.

[ChipNDale]

I am so happy for you!!! So even if you want to be an imagineer you have to go through that work your way up process?
