Originally Posted By PirateChick I hope to see you around then. I have lots of friends at Tours. I am in the same area working Buzz and Auto. Have fun and the parades/fantasmic shifts are not as bad as people make them. I actually like working those over my attractions usually.
Originally Posted By SpoonCM Just an FYI...Casting is expecting a rather sizeable hiring period again. So those who want to work for the Mouse, now is a good time to head out to the big yellow building!
Originally Posted By John_CM Yeah, our managers were telling us the other day that we may need to hire as many as 3000 people to fill all the open positions... and I believe it. Our people are still getting 6 and 7 days a week, and it's the off season!
Originally Posted By Mitten Does Disney hire weekend and evenings only? I would love to work for the mouse but have a Monday thru Friday day job, that I will not leave (pays good and good benefits). Thanks for the information!
Originally Posted By John_CM Yes, in fact most new hires, in the off season, only work weekends and nights. The thing is, you have to be full available to work during spring break, summer, and at the holidays.
Originally Posted By Mitten Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I would not be completely available during those times of the year. Thanks again.
Originally Posted By PastKnight Well I hope my experience isn't over. My recruiter gave me a choice of attractions, or Walt Disney Travel Company. Because of my background and the higher pay I interviewed with WDTC. Today it has been a week, my interviewer said they would call either way, but she also mentioned "a couple of days". I am not worried yet because training would not begin until 12/16. So the short version is I dont know how it went, I feel it went well, as soon as I get a call, you all will be amoung the first to know. HRM thank you for your interest

Originally Posted By SpoonCM Hmmm...did you make the 2nd interview (the one without the group)? Or has that all changed...I don't know, it's been a while since I've been to Casting. And yes, this will be a big hiring season. They are saying it's their largest hiring period since Resort expansion, maybe bigger.
