I worked in a theme park years back, and I found that having a solid understanding of the tech behind the rides can really set you apart in the application process. The demand for creative roles is definitely rising, so if you can showcase your unique approach to lighting or design, that could be a game-changer. It’s worth considering how to angle your skills even if you’re going for remote positions, which I think will appeal to a lot of folks.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍​‌‌⁠​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​​​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠⁠​⁠‍‌‌⁠‍‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌​‍‌‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍​‍​⁠​‌‌‍‌‍‌⁠​​‌‌​​​⁠‌​‌​‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Creative roles like lighting can be super competitive, but having a portfolio of past projects helps. Have you checked out the skills listed in the job post? @DisneyCareers often has detailed requirements.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍​‌‌⁠​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍⁠‌‌‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍​‌‌⁠​​‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​⁠‌​​⁠​‍‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌⁠‍‌‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‍‍‌⁠​​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Lighting roles can definitely be a challenge to land. When I applied for a similar position years ago, I found that showcasing my hands-on experience with specific lighting software, like Vectorworks, made my application stand out. Don’t forget to focus your portfolio on projects that relate to theme parks, since they often want to see that you understand the unique environment.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍​‌‌⁠​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌​⁠​‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠​‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍​⁠‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌​‌⁠​⁠‌​‍⁠‌‍⁠‌‌​⁠⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

It’s like trying to catch lightning in a bottle! When I applied for a similar position, I focused on showcasing specific projects I’d done, just like @franklin_carter87 mentioned. Have you thought about what unique lighting techniques you could highlight from your experience?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍​‌‌⁠​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‍​‌​‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌​⁠‌​‌​​‍‌‌‌​‌⁠‌​‌‌⁠⁠‌⁠‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‌​⁠⁠‌‍‍‌​⁠‌‌‌⁠‍‌‌‌‌‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

It’s so frustrating how fast these jobs go! I applied to a lighting role last year and ended up missing out because I waited too long. If you see something you like, just go for it — like they said, ‘important note’ and all that. @kendra_b89, that portfolio tip is gold; it really does make a difference.
