I know that to be a host you need to have a previous experience working with kids.

The problem is, they want people who's kids do not play vmk. If the staff member has a child that plays vmk, the parent might be giving them un-fair advantages and/or the child lets it go to their head and brag about it to others.

I heard from a HOST_ that you have to work with kids for 5 or so years.

Most staff have either no kids, or already have Grandchildren! @_@ They pick people like them for staff positions on purpose

Most of the VMK in-game moderators were once teachers or have worked with kids in some way. Just because someone has talent in computers doesn't mean they'll get accepted for a VMK in-game moderator position. If you once worked with kids, you probably will have a better chance at it. Also, like stated previously, VMK in-game moderators do not work for Disney, they work for Sulake but most likely contracted with Disney.

If someone was looking to work inside the VMK Development team (which is run by Disney) they would want to look into working on the Internet side of Disney. Although, for this position you would want to have great talent in working on computers.

Yet, remember VMK might not be looking for any new VMK Development team members or even in-game moderators since it costs Disney money to employ Cast Members for a free game.

Ok well I'm home schooled, so my Mom has worked with kids and home schooling kids for a couple years. She's in fact been raising kids since the 70's..she has grandchildren LOL. just a few facts I'm throwing around here.

I wouldnt brag about her being staff. I may go and see her some times, but I wouldnt tell anybody she's my Mom. And she wouldnt treat me specially.

Plus, she took a class to become a subsitute teacher. So I think there is a lot of kid/teen experience there

LOL feed her cat. Wow, that made my day xD

I once asked a staff where they work...like, at an office, or at home? And they said "We arent allowed to give out that information." I'm guessing some probably work at an office, and some probably work at home? :/

Her cat's named Phinny, too

Also, it has been known (for a while) that HOST_s work at home.

I'm sure there's a VMK HQ, but I think only the producers and designers are allowed there.

Contacting Sulake will not help, unless you are applying for their company and/or Habbo.
Contacting WDIG will help more.

Note: You have the most chance of getting the job at VMK, when you barely know what it is.

Note 2: Being in the WDCP will help your chances too.

Not true.

HOST_Hurricane had stated before that he played VMK before he became a host.

i just wanted to correct something. it's actually the WDWCP. the best way to get into The Disney Company on the ground floor is the WDWCP. that fact may be a bit off the main topic here though.
