Application!

Hi again! :)
In this post I'm going to talk about the application process on the Yummy Jobs website.

Yummy Jobs is the company in the UK through which Disney finds university students for the program. The first thing I did was update my CV.

My CV has firstly my personal details followed by a personal statement. I then have my qualifications, I personally put my first year results in because they were good but it is probably not necessary. Next is my work experience, now I have never had a job :( It seems to be a vicious circle, places want experienced people but I can't get experience until I get a job!! I have skills that I can prove through different roles I have held during school so I explained each of these roles and the skills needed. Lastly I have key skills and references.  The key skills is a list of skills I have followed by what I have done to gain these skills.

After my CV was complete I did a cover letter, I don't know if it is necessary but I feel it gives you an opportunity to really sell yourself and show your enthusiasm. The first paragraph was stating why I wanted to do the program, the next was what I was studying and my future plans (I want to become a Teacher). The third paragraph was about what roles I would be interested in and gave a place I would like to work in each of the roles. E.g. I put for Attractions that I would like to work in Mission: Space (Mainly cause I am a huge Physics and Space nerd :) lol). Next I wrote a paragraph on the skills I had and how I had developed these skills through the roles I have in school etc. Lastly I summarised why I would be a great Cast Member :)

The profile you have to complete on the Yummy Jobs website is pretty simple it has personal info then info on your education and where you study. Then there is a section called Work and Experience which includes Work Experience, Spoken Languages, Motivation, date available from and if you have worked for Disney before. For Spoken languages I put English (duh! lol) and Spanish to Grade A GCSE level so I have a second language but only to that standard. Then you just upload the document with your cover letter and CV  on and that is it! You can then hit apply for the WDW Summer Work Experience Program :)

Sorry if this was long but hopefully this will help someone in the future!
Have a magical Day!!
