Post

I got a couple of letters through the post yesterday. The first was my criminal background check, that was all clear so happy days. They've no reason to keep me out of the States now!

The second, which bizarrely arrived three hours after the first, was a letter which looks like it should come through with the original acceptance pack but was never sent until the crb check came through. It wasn't just me though, everyone else I've spoken to got the same impression from the letter. It's a little confusing as it advises you to do things you've already done, but the good thing about the letter is it finally explained what my role is! Here's the official Disney spiel;

Lobby Concierge Cast Members will be working in one of our many resorts across the WALT DISNEY WORLD resort. Individuals in this role must be willing to work in all of the following areas: Front Desk, Guest Services and Phone Room. Cast Members in this role may experience many different facets of the Front Office operations, including using a computer based system, working in an environment with a high level of Guest interaction, resolving challenging Guest situations and cash handling.
Responsibilities may include: checking Guests in and out of resorts, processing payments, answering Guest phone calls and providing information to Guests. Lobby Concierge Cast Members must be comfortable in a strong sales environment, as they will be responsible for creating individualized ticket packages and making dining and other kinds of reservations for guests.

Wouldn't this be more beneficial to us before we accept the role? To be completely honest, I am not completely happy about having to be comfortable in a sales environment because I'm not. I hate that sort of thing, not enough to turn down this opportunity but enough to have put a bit more consideration into my decision, plus I would have had more time to get prepared for it. Oh well, I guess it means less time to worry about it, right?

On the upside, at least I noticed the big ole Mickey Mouse sticker on the envelope this time. The last time Yummy Jobs sent something to me, I didn't even see them. Whoops!

You will work between 30-45 hours per week at a rate of $7.88 per hour.

Looks like my savings are going to have to be raided! Oh well, how often does a chance like this come around?
