Skills
Yes, I have learnt so many skills. I could not recommend doing a placement year enough at Disney. Skills that I have built on and learnt over this year include: communication, creativity, collaboration and adaptability skills.
Responsibilities
Yes. At The Walt Disney Company you are very much apart of the team you are in. You will get tasks that individuals do at management level. Also during this role I built up my own professional relationship with our licensees, communicating with them nearly everyday on my own without my manager.
Support & Guidance
From the off set I was given a lot of support by not only my manager but also the director of my team. They were all so lovely and pushed me out of my comfort zone which I am so grateful for. Not only was support given to me in relation to my role but also support was given to me regarding building my CV and skills for my future career.
Culture
It is slightly different this year being from home but even despite this everyone is lovely and genuinely friendly. Everyone at Disney has the time for you and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
Your Impressions
Working at Disney has been amazing, I have absolutely loved it and I would 100% do it all over again if I could. The company do expect a lot from their interns but this is what makes it great as you get your hands very stuck in. As for my team, they have been amazing - they tailor the internship depending on what you want to learn, for me it was getting exposure to marketing.
Yes
Be yourself and smile. If you genuinely want the role, you will get far in the process.
