I want to work at the candy store on Main Street.

In the case of my daughter, she wasn't trying to get a job at Disney, as I wrote, and they found her and commissioned her. However, late this summer, when she presents all she worked on this summer for the executives at Disney in LA, I don't know where it may lead. Further, they have asked her to perform another time all her work on the green for everyone working there. So, this is the early stage of what could lead to more work for Disney, or possibly not. Right now, working one-to-one with the head of music for Disney is pretty awesome. My daughter has a conference call with him this week on the work she is doing back in NYC.

Seems like it's not *too* difficult...a few weeks ago, Disney contacted me on LinkedIn about starting a full-time software engineering position in the fall. Unfortunately I still have senior year left and am not about to drop out for Disney.

In case anyone's still interested in this subject, I rediscovered an article and website that inspired me to be an engineer and work in the theme park industry in the future:

Theme Park Design. How do I get started?

I've never heard of companies (especially big ones like Disney) contacting people to offer them positions, least of all on LinkedIn, the facebook of the corporate world. Sounds like jobs wuld fall from the sky if this were the case. In any event, congrats sumzup!

sumzup must have something on his/her LinkedIn profile that's special and specifically of interest to Disney. It's definitely not a typical thing that I've seen myself either. There are plenty of excellent software engineering majors out there, so there's no other reason Disney would spend the resources looking for entry-level employees.

I just looked at the message they sent me and it appears that they contacted me because of my internship at Amazon and because I had Java experience (both of these were specifically mentioned). So there's that.

I should probably reach out to them now that I'm actually looking for full-time positions.
