Art Associate Directors of Walt Disney:

The qualifications of this position include a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Degree in Fine Arts, Design, or Art. You must have five years of relevant experience and two years of “creative leadership experience”. According to the text, you must also be “committed to discipline and it’s challenges, and a high level of energy”. The list of qualifications and specific skills required is extremely vast and particular, and can be viewed on the attached link. 
The specific position I’m researching is for Disney, which could be the reasoning behind it sounding so horrible. After looking over the qualifications, I’m really only dead-set on one the twelve bullet-points, which is “Excellent organizational skills”. 
Similar jobs at Disney include Games Producer, Radio Disney, Media Planner, and Software Engineer. Apparently, you only have to have a resume, which seems weird as well. I don’t think I would enjoy this job at all, because as a whole, the job description sounds more like office work than anything else, and I can’t “problem solve in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines” efficiently, especially if this is in conjunction to “working closely with the Ad Sales web producers”.

It just sounds pretty bad.

  1. At first I wasn't sure if this was a job you would like or not like to have. It does indeed sound "just pretty bad".
    I will say most jobs require you to be able to be able to "problem solve in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines" That's part of the art job career.
    Delightful to read.

  2. Wow! :o You would think that you need more than just a resume to work there! Working in an office doesn't sound promising as an art career though! But thanks for the info! It was very fascinating!

  3. It seems like old Walt DIsney is looking for that non-existent person who absolutely loves to deal with everyone else's problems. Seems like a horrible job with long, if not all, free-time and hours away from work spent dealing with the problems created by work itself. I don't know how a single human could have that many responsibilities and be expected to keep up with them all. Also. SEVEN YEARS RELEVANT EXPERIENCE PLUS COLLEGE?!? "Full time" indeed.
