She said &#8220;We are doing this because it is the right thing to do, but we&#8217;re also doing it because our company and cast have been touched in countless ways by veterans.&#8221; Crofton stated that Disney already employs thousands of veterans currently and also mentioned that since the announcement of this initiative two months prior, that 250 military\/veterans had already been hired, 160 of which had been in Florida.<\/p>\n\n<p>Crofton also talked about the company\u2019s support of four non-profits that support the military.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluestarfam.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blue Star Families<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.missioncontinues.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Mission Continues<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/usacares.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USA Cares<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bgca.org\/meetourpartners\/Pages\/MilitaryPartnership.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boy\u2019s and Girl\u2019s Clubs of America<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Event\"><\/span>The Event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Next the event broke up into several different venues:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Expo Hall<\/strong> &#8211; Manned by veterans currently employed by Disney from the various divisions of the company who discussed their particular areas.

In the Interview Tips class lots of good information was presented on what to do before, during, and after an interview.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Information\"><\/span>The Information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In between classed Kevin Preston commented \u201cDisney hadn\u2019t done any marketing for these events, but rather passed the information to military commands and relied on them to get the word out.\u201d The thought being \u201cTo get moving as soon as possible, rather than waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Malenuis, a Disney spokesman said that they\u2019d originally planned on 350 people attending the event from within a 50-mile radius, but had extended their target area to a three-hour drive, and that 422 individuals had eventually been invited.<\/p>\n<p>I had the opportunity to interview one of the attendees, John Rice, a Navy Officer with 35 years of service, due to retire this month. His career mirrors so many, starting as an enlisted jet mechanic, going on to earn his degree and commission, with duty assignments all over the world. When I asked John why he was interested in the Disney Company he said that Disney\u2019s reputation for professionalism, safety, and excellence were so similar to the military that he felt that it \u201cWould be an easy transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/special\/special-report-disneys-heroes-work-here-career-expo\/attachment\/heroes-work-here-rice\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5937\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5937\" title=\"Heroes-Work-Here-Rice\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Heroes-Work-Here-Rice.jpg\" alt=\"Heroes Work Here Participant - copyright Disney\" width=\"540\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Heroes-Work-Here-Rice.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Heroes-Work-Here-Rice-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I spent quite a bit of time with Brian Britton Vice President of Park Operations at Walt Disney World.

He said, \u201cThe skills I learned in the military such as leading by example, cutting through red tape, lifelong learning, stress management, and adaptability to change were skills that allowed me to succeed at Disney.\u201d Britton also said that the company has many roles for military members and veterans, full time, part time, and seasonal and that \u201cThe key skills that Disney is looking for from those they hire with military experience are leadership ability, operational experience, a sense of urgency, adaptability, and a strong work ethic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robin Zais, Director East Cost Casting, Disney Parks and Resorts, also mentioned the Disney brother\u2019s WW I service and that while Disney has always hired veterans that, \u201cIt\u2019s the right time to formalize Disney\u2019s longstanding relationship with the military.\u201d And also &#8220;That it is much more about creating a relationship with our veteran community and also supporting them in any way in which we can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/special\/special-report-disneys-heroes-work-here-career-expo\/attachment\/heroes-work-here-panel\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5938\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5938\" title=\"Heroes-Work-Here-Panel\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Heroes-Work-Here-Panel.jpg\" alt=\"Heroes Work Here Panel and Mickey Mouse - copyright Disney\" width=\"450\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Heroes-Work-Here-Panel.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Heroes-Work-Here-Panel-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Wrap_Up\"><\/span>The Wrap Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The day wrapped up with a panel of Disney executives, some of whom were veterans, who fielded a few questions from the audience.

The coaching received in the classes and the personal resume review was priceless. Bryan Malenius said, \u201cDisney is looking at the attendees of these events as a hiring pool that they can draw from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I only wish all who had wanted to attend had been able to do so.
