Is Disney that hard up that you can't afford to pay someone any money?
I have always thought that this notion of 'work experience', getting a young graduate to work for free, is almost the same as free pitching, a process objected to by both firms and by professional organisations.

Yeah, that's pretty rough. How do they expect their new employee to live?
Okay then if this is an internship position, but otherwise...

that sucks, just the kind of exploitation Disney are renowned for.. sign that fucker up for some gay spam.

I see so much of this crap. Huge wealthy organizations looking for "free" creative to promote another film or product that will bring them millions....
NTers should email that guy and tell Disney they can afford to pay for a creative and stop trying to get something for nothing.
I can't get anything free, why the hell should they?

he he he....gay spam: the solution to all revenge fantasies.
Anyway, I still think 'internships' are another rort. I have never known an intern NEVER to do work that is not eventually charged to a client.

I was an intern at a PR firm... when I found out they billed their clients 85/hr for my work and only paid me 8/hr, I quit... that is just bad business.
The Bose corporation has the best paying internship program EVER!!

Trouble too is that someone, probably who is suported by their folks... will take up the offer because they can afford to.
But then again if you really wanted the experience/opportunity you'd probably go for it, and work nights in the supermarket.

That is true, I did an internship at American Express working on some e-learning stuff for them. Got paid nothing yet helped their company to save a whole bunch of money, because of the work I did.
stinks.

experience or not, you are whoring yourself out under those circumstances... you have to have repect for what you do and not give it away...
I really love the unpaid internships that offer college credit, not only do you work and not get paid, you have to pay the college to get your credits...that's a great deal! where do I sign... bastards
- canuck0
Yeah, thats what I had, so I basically paid for my internship. Lucky me.

Unpaid work experience is not on, we will and never have exploited anyone under these circumstances.
The fact that they are looking for 'a good designer' makes me laugh - imagine if every company had this attitude to taking on staff !!!
SPAM away.

Didn't Walt end up making dodgy Nazi sympathiser movies in the late 30's?
The Simpsons have made a few gags about that in the past.

email from the cock at disney:
DUDE grow up!
It's a good break for a nipper to get started. And no if you understood how Disney worked you wouldn't send such an pathetic email. If we expected
Them to really work hard we would pay them (providing we had the money).Due to your hippy email address (disinfo) I took a look at your site;
Maybe you'd rather see something else? Something not funded by Corporate America(tm) with the soul aim of selling you something you don't need.
Pathetic mate you need to grow up a bit read a bit before you can have a decent perspective.
Monkey!

Subject: Disney experience...seriously dude,
you should get some budget if you want people to work instead of feeding
off people's enthusiasm, its just the kind of exploitation I'd expect from Disney.I mean, are Disney REALLY that hard up? I dont think so, takes the piss
really, you should be ashamed to be associated with such practices.Regards

I never worked as an intern. I managed to Blagg my why into my first job and got paid for the work I did.
If you do the intern rout, they should at least pay you minimum wage.
Fuck Disney.
