Hi everyone,

I'm new on here and I am interested in this forum in particular because I recently attended an Interview with Disneyland Paris in London, had a great Interview and recieved an automated message to say that I had been successful and they now were searching for a suitable position for me. As soon as one was identifed I would recieve an email offer and I had 48hrs to accept or reject the offer. Incidentally the type of work that I do is in Marketing, Business analysis, events, propositions and strategy, etc. So I guess its the 'Business Solutions/Support areas of the business?

Anyway, since then its been about a month or so and so far I've heard nothing back at all. I've been looking constantly myself on the direct website, other job websites but I can't identify anything suitable. So my concern is basically what is this process? how long do I wait? Will someone contact me? How can I really establish whether there are any opportunities for me when I cant see any internal vacancies. All I've been told is that I must wait..........

So its a difficult situation now. Can anyone offer advice, or explain this process better or tell me how can suitable posts be identified for me or how can I identify them and also why are Disney recruitment personnel not making any contact with me?

many thanks

I don't whether this will be of any help for you guys, but I remember reading earlier today something about Disneyland usually only sending the official contract about a month ahead of your start date. It wasn't a reliable website, just someone's blog, so it could be completely wrong, but I thought I'd pass on the information.

Have any previous/current CMs had any different experiences?
