Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Know the language. Because Disneyland Paris is in France, many people you will encounter in the job application process speak French. Speaking fluently in multiple languages might increase your chance of getting the job, since there are many tourists from other parts of the world.
2. Create a dynamic resume based on the job description. A cover letter is also recommended to help set your application apart. Using the key words in the job description, emphasize your strong points. You'll want to make sure you have lots of customer service in your background. Theme park experience (especially another Disneyland park) and some local theater (school or community) experience is great.
3. Visit the Disneyland Paris website. Find the link to their list of open jobs to see if they're currently hiring tour guides.
4. Find out how to submit your application, resume and cover letter. Some companies prefer you do this online, while others prefer applications by mail or in person.
5. Contact the hiring department by phone about one week after submitting your application. This shows initiative and will likely help you gain favor in the hiring process.
6. Prepare for your job interview by learning more about Disneyland Paris. Pick out your strongest qualities and determine how they fit with the company mission. Now is also a good time to try on your job interview outfit to make sure it fits and complies with company dress code.
7. Be prompt for your job interview. It's better to be a few minutes early than a few minutes late. Be yourself during the interview and answer their questions with confidence.
8. Celebrate when you find out you're the next tour guide at Disneyland Paris.
