It's time again for DisneyMom to completely loose track of what she was doing.

Hi everybody! Just trying to keep this site alive with a random post!

Applied online for part-time custodial at DLR; can anyone give me hints or tips for acing the job interview if I get that far?

I've hired a lot of people over the years. Enthusiasm and want to overcome a lot of negatives.

Dress for success.

Arrive on time or earlier for the interview.

Firm handshake.

Positive impression with everyone you come in contact with. There are no little people.

Good body language. Do not cross your arms. Look the interviewer in the eye.

Ask high impact questions.

Sell yourself and close the deal.

Bring references.

Thank everyone you interview with.

Good luck!

To Hobie's excellent general-purpose advice, I would add these:

* Be able to demonstrate an understanding of the scope of the job you're applying for. In the case of DL custodial, this means trash cans, toilets, and a whole lot of guest questions. Custodial cast generally have more guest contact than other CMs.

* Because of the above, how easily you talk with strangers and odd questions is part of the audition process, especially the careful listening part.

* Have two transportation plans. Your own car is fine, but you should also know which bus routes you'll use when the car isn't working; and in case of rain.

* Don't be shy about admitting you love the product. This means the Parks (both of them), Disney films, and the characters. They're likely to ask who your favorite character is. (Hint: Ward Kimball isn't an acceptable answer, despite his appearing in "The Nifty Nineties">)

* If they don't have anything in custodial, ask if they have other positions open, or if they can keep your application open until an opening occurs.

Go break a leg!

Well, I don't have a car. There are buses that go there, including Disney transportation. I definitely have to bone up on Disneyland Resort stuff; haven't been there since 1980. I checked, and they don't seem to have custodial listed again. Fave character: Thurl Ravenscroft. I already do janitorial at my church; watched their video for custodial, and it seems it's less work than I do at church! I remember, it may have been my first visit in 1966 or so, seeing a guy using a broom and dustpan to sweep up trash, and I thought that was so cool! They say call back in three weeks, and because I get busy, and have a hard time finding a quiet, private place to make a phone call, it's been tough getting some phone calls made.

They sure are hiring for Hong Kong, but that's too far of a commute.

But if you do decide to hire on at Hong Kong, make sure you know what bus routes you'll take to get there.

You can always take the Star Ferry.

Close, but wrong. To get to a magical place like Disney, you need to take the Star Fairy!

Tried calling the number for Disney Casting I got off of Yahoo answers--1 800 766-0888--only to get a message saying the number has been disconnected, with no further details.

Anybody know what the current Disney Casting phone number is for DLR?
