The Walt Disney Hiring Process

The Walt Disney Hiring Process
Disney’s hiring process is pretty unique, and is being conducted differently from the recruitment
process of other companies.
The hiring process consists of some stages, which are as follows:
1. The Job Application Process

Getting employed at Disney typically begins with submitting an online application through the
Disney careers website.
When you get to the site, you will be able to link your LinkedIn profile and portfolio, as well as
submitting a cover letter, and providing more information about yourself and your work experience.
2. Phone Screening
After submitting your online application, the Disney recruiters will examine and review your
application, including your CV and cover letter, to match the role you’ve applied for.
If you have been considered to continue the hiring process, you will be contacted by a member from
the HR department to be part of a phone interview.
Phone interview is a compulsory part of the hiring process, and it helps the HR department to have
good knowledge about you, and how fit you are for the position.
During this phone interview, expect to be asked questions in-regards to your work experiences,
education histories, and the expertise you have to perform the job competently.
Prior to the phone interview, you will be sent an email to notify you about an upcoming interview over
the phone.
3. Assessment Center
After you have successfully passed the phone screening interview, depending on your position, the
HR department may invite you to attend an assessment center for some tests, alongside other
candidates who qualified.
At the assessment center, you participate in various activities, such as role-play exercises,
psychometric tests, and if possible, interview as well.
Sometimes, this assessment can occur online, instead of going to a physical place to take the tests.
To participate in the online assessments, Disney HR department will send an email to you, which
has the link that automatically leads you straight to sit for the tests after clicking it.
The assessment test (whether online or at the assessment center) has a limited amount of time,
which means you have to be a bit fast with it.
4. In-person Interviews
Disney conducts a face-to-face interview session during the assessment day. You will be
interviewed by one of the members of the HR and management team.
The interview involves various questions, in regards to your resume, former work experiences,
behavior, expertise, and the position.
Here are some examples of Disney interview questions you might be asked:
 Can you give me a tangible reason why you applied for this position?
 What are your key strengths?
 Working alone or with a team, which do you prefer?
 What do you love about Disney as a company?
Apart from these questions, be prepared to answer several behavioral questions as well, and ensure
that your answers are very organized and engaging.
In preparing for Disney interview, there are methodologies to learn to aid your performance during
the interview.
You can search for some online trainers who specialize in tutoring applicants to ace their interview.
Moreover, here are some tips that you should know about:
 One thing that can help you ace your interview, is researching the position, and having
in-depth knowledge about the role. This is key, since about 50% of the interview
questions will be based on the position.
 Be prepared to give the interviewer your own take on pro-active and efficient solutions
to everyday work-related issues.
 Know more about the interview process by getting valuable information from former
Disney employees on what it’s like to be interviewed in Disney.
5. Orientation
If you have been selected, you will pass through an orientation process. During the learning process,
you will be taught Disney history and culture.
It is an entire day course conducted at the Disney University. There will be facilitators who will do a
great job by explaining how important Disney’s culture is.
At a certain time during the orientation, the class will be separated and briefly take a tour all through
the Magic Kingdom, and maybe one of the resorts.
Before the orientation comes to an end, you will be informed on how to participate in the one week
on-the-job training, which teaches you all you need to know about your position in the company.
