Disneyland Paris Jobs - Casting news and tips

thepianoman · April 28, 2011, 09:43:14 PM

So I've just had an email from Disneyland Paris saying unfortunately my application has not been successful. I'm so gutted that I didn't even get an interview!

Is this common or do you think I was missing something on my CV they were looking for (I was applying for a service role, not a performer)

Quote from: "nickyd"I attended the interview at Hammersmith earlier this month and after a week got what look likes a standard email saying that the interview was a success and they are looking for a job for me.

This is for one of the service jobs, not as a performer.

I showed it to my old man who is rather cynical and says it looks like a "holding" email designed to keep us waiting on the off-chance that there is a job or someone drops out at the last minute. I told him I would ask if anyone had actually got a job after having such an email and how long it took.

It seems very mean to stop people applying for alternative work if this is really what the email is designed for? Has anyone spoken to Noellie Boden about this or do you think that being pushy would be bad (this park may be based in France but they are after all, an American company!).

Thanks in advance - trying to concentrate on exams now but this keeps bugging me!!

I'm in the same position! I was kind of worried they'd forget about me because they have another recruitment day coming up so I emailed Noellie just as a polite "can you give me a rough date when I'll know what's happening". I'll let you know what the outcome is. I'm struggling to concentrate on my uni work because it's stressing me out (I hate not knowing things! I'm so stressed that I've broken out in spots D:) so I thought it was best to just ask about it. But I made sure to say that I know she has a lot of other applications to deal with and just let me know when she can so hopefully I don't come off as cheeky!

Also my dad said the same thing but I don't agree! I just think they have a lot of jobs to sort out! haha! I hope so anyway.

Best of luck!

Sorry to hear that

Maybe it's because you're french wasn't strong enough? I wouldn't worry about it too much! Just keep applying and hope for the best one day

Hello Ashe,

I am new to the forum and I have seen that you mention that Disney are doing another recruitment day...where did did you find this information from? Do you know when and where it is taking place?

Hope you get the a response soon...exams are stressful enough!!!

Quote from: "miss_loocy"I start 4th July and finish 5th September. Im working in 'restaurantation', so not entirely sure what that entails. I'm really looking forward to it too. You from uk? Getting the eurostar there?

Nope I'm from Ireland so I have to fly over!

I'm working until 6th September I think, so basically the entire summer!
What kind of job are you working? My contracts for a shop assistant in the boutiques.

You guys who are working are very lucky. It has now been over a month since the interview at Hammersmith. I realise they gave themselves 2 months to look for something but my house is certainly not the happiest place in the world at present.

I notice that Noellie Boden has upped her privacy settings on Facebook - I wonder why?

I know the feeling

I went from being really excited to just feeling so sad they're saying nothing. I emailed Noellie 2 weeks ago and had nothing back when she's apparently usually quite good at replying quickly. Even if they're not giving me a place I'd kind of like to know, especially when they said they'd give you a Halloween or Christmas offer.

Yeah, you've got a similar contract to me, I'm working till 5th September. Think I'm working in a restaurant, or a cafe. My actual job title is like, 'employee du restauration'. Hmm!

Don't give up hope yet, they didn't get back to me for about a month, so there's still chance

Vegitabeta · May 10, 2011, 02:13:11 PM

I wish I knew French! I'm learning, slowly. I talked to Noellie a few months back, she was asking when I could start etc, and I was just so sad when I told her I couldn't speak French well enough

How did any of you English guys and gals learn it if you don't mind me asking, 'cos I'm struggling!
