Is it time to just move on? Any advice would be appreciated!
Approaching 2 years since I started applying for jobs at Disney and we are now up to 124 rejections without a single interview. I had originally only been applying to Software Engineer type roles as that's most of my background, but have expanded to Data Analyst and Supervisor roles as I have experience in those as well.
I know my hurdle is likely location based, I do not live near parks or corporate offices. However, considering my background (10+ years of experience and a Master's degree in Computer Science) I figured I could at least land a few interviews and plead my case as someone who truly wants to support Disney and not someone chasing perks like park access. Obviously, this hasn't happened yet.
Is this just not possible with today's market and Disney's corporate structure? I've never been one to doubt myself, but over 120 rejections really starts to take it's toll on a person. Can anyone offer advice or tips on how to better my chances? I've even been connecting with cast members on LinkedIn and messaging hiring managers. Just no luck 😔.
