Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role included day-to-day tasks of updating Disney’s websites as well as more project based work such as aiding in the build of new pages/websites.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A lot of responsibility! But in a good way. Towards the end of my internship I was leading my own projects with the support of my coworkers. However it still wasn’t too much pressure put on the interns as we have the support of our coworkers who were also working with us on these projects.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend The Walt Disney Company to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to The Walt Disney Company
If you get to the interview process of an internship just be yourself! I can’t stress this enough! Yes it’s great if you have previous experience but they don’t expect incoming interns to have loads yet. They are more looking for people who will fit in with their team. Just enjoy it! Getting an interview is an achievement in itself so just show them who you are.
