So for all of us applying in January what role would you like? HRC Merch F & B Just out of interest hehe
F&B. Mostly because I got a job as a trainee chef and though I know I wont be cooking, Being in that sort of environment helps me prove my enthusiasm towards the whole cutting of of vegetables (though at the moment I am only allowed to clean things to prove my cleanliness xD)
What's HRC? ??? Or is that a stupid question?! I'd prefer merchandise, if only because I've never worked in food and beverage so it'd probably take me a little longer to pick stuff up. I'm worried that my lack of F&B experience is going to be detrimental to my application ...
Hi guys! Just anted to say good luck with the applications, I start in F&B UK Pav next Septemeber so will probs be heaing out with some of you!! Missish - I have absolutely no F&B experience but got the job anyway so don't worry if you've never done it before!! Like you, I wanted merch as I've worked in retail but they gave me F&B anyway so they obv don't mind training up complete beginners! Bit nervous as I'm the clumsiest person on the planet however, worried I'm going to throw food over guests!! :S HRC is a section within Merch, if you work for them you're not technically employed by Disney which means some things are a little different (for eample rent is at a different rate i think) . You still work in the shops but you have your own section, it has something to do with research into families and printing people's family trees I believe? (Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong!!) Hope that helps xx
Excuse the really shocking typing in that last post...contrary to that, I actually can normally spell!! xx
yeah HRC is the historical research centre and it basically is a section int he shops where you can got lo look up family tree and get stuff with your family crest on it - they have a similar thing in universal. you get paid more an hour than disney people buuuttt your rent is more so it evens out also you dont get the main gate pass so although you get free entry into ther park your family and friends do not. you have same costume as merch
To be honest... i'm really not sure what i'd prefer. Ive got loads of retail experience so merch would be in my comfort zone, but maybe it would be a nice challenge to do F&B! ;D
