Ask and you shall receive

I got an e-mail from DCL today!!! It is starting the process of medical, background check, safety and employment forms.

There is a general employment form you have to fill out, just so your information is on file. It is things like your emergency contact, birthday, social security etc. The same sort of form you would have to fill out for any job.

Then there is a little note on getting a background check from your own country. I have had to do this multiple times for work and volunteering so I know the routine. It is just a matter of finding sometime to go downtown and wait a few hours to get the paper work. I then have to send that to cast-a-way recruiters and I guess they will send it to DCL? I'm not too sure about why, but I will have to fax it to them.

Next is the medical information. You need to get a physical to make sure you are healthy enough to work on the ship. You can do the physical through your own physician or two companies that work with DCL. I am going to do it through my own physician because I already have an appointment booked for a physical anyway, so might as well get two birds with one stone.

The there is a weird safety form. I think I will just have to print it out and bring it with me for all the safety training you do before your embark date. So from December 14-18 I will be doing traditions (learning about the Disney company and their expectations. I have already done this when I worked in Disney World) and then there are a few days of safety training so that you will know what to do in an emergency. There are about 20 items on this list to learn, so I think it is going to be intensive safety training for a few days.

There is also a form you have to fill in recognizing all the Disney expectations (like no visible tattoos, you know you are going to be working everyday for long stretches of time, etc.).

This is making this whole process feel more real!!! I have already filled out the employment form, I am going to get my police check done tomorrow, and if I can use my own physician I will have my medical booked!

Toodles for now!
