New Hire Documents

Oh boy, it's that time again! Sorry for the late post guys, but it's been a busy month for me! Not only is it time to say good-byes and see you laters to people, but its time to start packing! But we will get to that post later, let's focus on the main issue at hand here, the New Hire Documents! When you see these babies you know its time to almost run into Florida to start your program. I was happy, excited, and anxious to start filling the papers out. But then.... just as life nothing is easy.



You see, I am a Web Design major, and as one who deals with the arts I fancy Mac computers. But if you have a Mac computer, get ready for the stress that is the New Hire Documents. All is well in the beginning, you fill out all your personal information, they tell you to make sure to have your documents such as birth certificate, SSC, passport, all that fun stuff. And if you are driving down like I am, you better make sure you have your drivers license or that can get pretty awkward. 



After this they basically tell you the rules of the what to do's and not do's during your program. It's the simple stuff guys, don't drink if you ain't 21, don't be throwing wild and crazy parties, don't serve alcohol to a minor, don't haze people, don't bully others, all that stuff that we were taught as morals all our lives, yeah it's time to apply them now. 



There are things you have to read and accept just like all other things, but this isn't where everything broke lose. Oh, no.... it was the dreaded 'Sign and Submit' buttons that drove everyone crazy! Those on Macs and PCs alike! You can read the forms but when it came time to sign them, forget about it! The buttons weren't clickable, and if you didn't finish that part the forms weren't complete. Yes, and guess what? That's the last part to get the New Hire Documentation done too!



So here are some tips from yours truly to get past this new hire documentation crisis:
- As painful as it is, step away from the Mac it only works on PC people!
- Guys, its time to take a trip back to the 90's! Get off that Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, and turn to everyone's favorite..... Internet Explorer! Yay...



With those tips it should help you or if you are like me you'll cry cause you deleted Internet Explorer off your old PC and your PC runs so slow that it's almost impossible to access the internet in order to even download that dreaded web browser ever again. 



But once you fight off the feelings of dread and enter the world of Internet Explorer again, your hire documents will be completed and you don't have to look back and worry about them anymore! 




But all those documents are about anyway is the very much talked about -- Disney Look, what to do on the job, some background on the jobs, what to do when talking with guests, all that good stuff. It's good to read them out so you aren't totally lost at Traditions. Don't forget that two finger point!



Next..... the most exciting thing to talk about... DORMS.

  1. I had zero problems with the NH paperwork on my Mac. There's actually TWO things you have to download/update as provided in the email. Then you have to make Adobe Reader your primary document reader and then you can do it. It's super easy!
