Rush for jobs fuels Disney dreams

Though it took 25-year-old Ling Zhiqiang a full day to travel from Yunnan province to catch the first round of job fairs held by the Shanghai Disney Resort on Tuesday, he does not regret it as he believes it is a life-changing opportunity.

Ling quit his job as a transportation worker in a hotel in a small town in Yunnan and opened an online shop to sell clothes a year ago. But, when he spotted the Shanghai Disney recruitment advertisement, he considered it an opportunity to fulfil his dream of working for a global company.

"Shanghai Disney is a promising work place that will help me gain knowledge and experience from a long-term perspective," said Ling.
