I emailed Eric (I'm in Canada) sunday with the online application and a personal email with my resume attached and my picture. Here is the response I just got back from him... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Tessa, You can also email me a resume and we will be contacting you for the Vancouver interviews coming up in October soon. Thanks Eric ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope that is a good response...I did already give him a copy of my resume, but I'll send another! Also I will email him a good cover letter. Anyone have Cover Letter tips? Thanks!
Hello Tessa That sounds like a good response to me..I would make sure to follow up with him maybe in a couple of weeks. I would call there just to make sure. I am leaving for Disney Sept 9th,,,,all the best to you!!!! Jordana
Hey all, I just emailed eric my covering letter...let me know what you think! ______________________________________________________ Dear Eric, The Walt Disney World International Program sounds like the experience of a lifetime. Working for Disney has been a dream of mine for years, and I would feel honoured to be a part of this program. I admire the Disney organization for their high quality guest service, commitment to excellence, and the way they offer everyone the opportunity to live their dreams. I am 19 years old. In December I will complete the Travel and Airline program with the Tourism Training Institute in B.C. Canada. Through this course, I have also received my “Superhost†certificate. The training I have received at this school has given me experience and knowledge of good guest relations, and ethics. The reason I am taking this course is part of the reason I would love to do the International Program: I enjoy working and interacting with people. I love to offer guests the best possible holiday experience, and ensure they have a memorable trip. I strongly believe in friendly outreach between cultures and countries. I love Canada, and would enjoy sharing my country and its rich history with people from all over the world. My first job, which I have had since I was 16, is at Famous Players’ Colossus Movie Theatre. In this job I have been trained in many different areas, gaining a lot of experience dealing with happy and un-happy guests. I have worked in various positions from Box Office to Starbucks, I have run Family Channel birthday parties, and trained new staff in many areas. I am a good team player, get along well with fellow employees and love interacting with the guests. I’m able to soothe difficult guests and have been able to remain calm in crisis. I am the main scheduled hostess for Birthday parties. The party coordinator, birthday children and their parents have praised my friendly and helpful attitude. Below you will find my resume, as well as an attached copy. Thank You for considering my application, Tessa Stafford __________________________________________________________
