The HR profession has oft been accused of having a touch of Mickey Mouse about it, so Guru is delighted finally to have cold, hard evidence.
Next Wednesday, a crack HR team - perhaps named Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy. Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy - will descend upon the magic castle (Disney UK's Hammersmith office, to those of you not in the know) to weave their magic on the unemployed of London.
Yes, Disneyland Paris is recruiting. Apparently the day's objective is "
to source numerous positions in sales, hotel and hospitality to candidates interested in working for a multicultural company."This statement has rather piqued Guru's interest. Firstly, what are the cultures of which they speak? Are they looking for workers keen to brush up on their mermaid/ talking animal/ pirate/ tree swinging apeman conversational skills?
And as for the ideal candidate, one can only wonder. Must they be able to sing? Dance? Swing between trees? Breathe underwater?
Most important of all, is there a vacancy for a blue-faced, bald-headed smooth-talking cynic?
