(Mods I wasn't sure where to post this - hope I put it in the right spot)
So from time to time when I get overwhelmed with my current job I check out the job postings for the Disney Company. One particular posting caught my eye today and I thought I'd share some of what I found with you guys!
The job is to work for WDIG (Walt Disney Internet Group) as the Community Manager for their new game CARS. I think they made a typo and actually mean it is for the new Fairies game because this is what part of the description says:
We are looking for an experienced, creative and motivated Community Manager to manage community activity for Disney Cars Online, a new massively multiplayer online game for girls ages 6 -10 based on the popular Disney franchise featuring Tinkerbell and all her famous fairy friends.
So now we know the age group this game is aimed at. I wonder if CARS is aimed at boys 6 - 10....
But this is the part of the job description I found very interesting:
Monitor fan sites and interact with the community to serve as the voice of the player to marketing and product development
It is a known fact that VMK staff hang out on the forums, I just never realized it that it was part of their job!
Just thought I'd share that with you. Sadly I'm not qualified for the position - they're looking for someone with a lot of marketing experience. Actually, all the responsibilities in the job posting make me think that this job is actually the "Yavn" for the Fairies or CARS game.
