We’re Hiring In a Pretty Big Way

May 26th, 2005

Just a quick note to let all Mike Industries readers know that the Walt Disney Internet Group is looking to fill over 80 positions in our North Hollywood and Seattle offices right now. These are mostly technical positions ranging from the creative side of things to the engineering side of things, and I can tell you from the over four years I’ve worked here that it’s a great place to get your groove on.

To list every position available in this blog entry would take quite some time, but just in the Seattle office, I know we’re looking for engineers, technical producers, designers, managers, Java people, SQL people, project managers, and a handful of other positions. The North Hollywood office has other openings as well.

If you’re a talented, motivated person who is interested in working for Disney, please check out the Walt Disney Internet Group job site and submit your information through there, or also feel free to send me your stuff through “disneyjobs at mikeindustries.com”. I’m not sure every opening is listed on the WDIG Jobs Site so if you’re a talented web professional, send us your stuff and we’ll try and see if there’s a fit.

UPDATE: If you’re interested in WDIG jobs out of the Orlando office, there are some openings there as well.

    It’s a long-shot, but I sent mine off. Once you see my resume you’ll trash it, as I went to Washington State University. :)

    It’s cool, Nathan. We’ve got a few Wazzu grads hiding in the shadows.

    Mike, question from Canada:

    Any idea what extra hurdles us northerners might face applying to these jobs? I live about an hour away from Seattle, but I know that some American companies are averse to hiring internationally. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hmm… nothing helpful to a visual communications student in Kansas still searching for a summer internship. Oh well.

    So where in Seattle are the DIG offices? I’m not familiar with the area, but am curious…

    There are also jobs listed in the glendale, burbank, and NYC area.

    I’m in seattle, though I already have a full-time gig. How’s the working environment? What do you love about working there? What would you change?

    Hey Mike, thanks for the heads up! I work in a very unsatisfying job up in Mountlake Terrace and this sounds like a great opportunity!

    Disney’s California offices are in Glendale and Burbank, they are two cities side by side in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles.

    Many of Disney’s best Animators are Canadian, taking care of visa’s is routine, unless yer poo which makes it a great excuse on a regection letter.

    I’d love to work for the WDIG, too bad I still got 2 more years in high school to go. :/

    Mike,

    thanks for the advice. I was wondering if they do accept applications sent by people from outside the USA.

Video of 14 year old Jimmy Page in 1957: I watched “It Might Get Loud” last night and part of it featured this 53 year old video clip. Don’t miss the interview a couple minutes in where Jimmy says he wants to do biological research when he grows up. As for the movie, it was pretty good, if you’re a fan of the three guitarists. I personally didn’t think The Edge added much, but I’m not a huge U2 fan either. Jack White and Page, however, were great.

How to Swear in English, if You’re Korean: “Little children and pregnant women should not watch, because it will be bad for their education.” Gets funnier every time I watch it.

How Much Do Music Artists Earn Online? A great infographic showing how the digital distribution of music has sucked artists’ royalties almost completely dry. People have argued they were never healthy to begin with, but the difference here is major. The same is going to happen to every meatspace product that transitions to digital. The iPad isn’t going to save content royalties.
