Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! You are welcome to apply to both the Disney College Program and Disney Internships. However, if you are offered both, you will need to choose one opportunity to accept.

If you accept a Disney College Program offer and later receive an offer for a Disney Internship (or another role within The Walt Disney Company) before your program start date, the Disney Programs team will support you in accepting that new opportunity.

The goal of a resume is to truly showcase your personal brand and overall experience in effort to help you be more competitive for future internships and jobs. Below are some general tips to consider when developing your resume:

Your resume should effectively illustrate all of the experience, skills and attributes you possess. Be authentic and show off what makes you unique. Tailor it to each job by highlighting the most relevant qualifications, keeping it polished, concise, and error-free. Focus your effort on customizing your resume (and cover letter, if included) to align with the specific role.

Check out this resume advice for more tips to help tell your story.

We are only able to accept resumes that are part of an active application. While you are waiting to apply, we encourage you to study previous postings and job descriptions as you prepare your resume. That way, you will only have to make slight modifications when the time comes to apply.

Internships are posted throughout the year based on business need and school terms.

Creating a standout portfolio is essential for highlighting your experience and expertise. When applying for an internship that showcases your skills, your portfolio should reflect your best work and clearly tell YOUR story!

A strong portfolio can provide a visual representation of your skills and creativity, help hiring teams quickly understand your capabilities, and set you apart in competitive applicant pools.

Check out these portfolio tips for presentation, storytelling, what to include and more,

Cover letters are not always required, but including one is a great opportunity to add to the “story” told by your resume. Your cover letter should not restate your resume, but rather, provide supplemental information that can help you stand out.

Since there will be multiple people reviewing applications, please address your cover letter to “Recruiter,” “Hiring Leader,” or “To Whom It May Concern.”
