Visitors to my About.com Theme Parks site often ask me for advice about breaking into the industry. After all, there are no college degree programs in park design. So how can aspiring Imagineers get the info and experience they need to jump-start their career? That's why I was especially intrigued by an email I received the other day. Instead of looking for a way into the industry, Craig Hanna, principal and chief creative officer of Thinkwell Design and Production, wrote to say that he's looking for a few good folks who want to join the industry. His California firm, which is growing and involved in a number of high-profile projects, is ready to hire new team members. If you have a passion for parks, have always wanted to be a part of the attraction-conjuring magic, and have some related skills (although passion just might trump experience), Hanna wants to hear from you. Read my exclusive article about Thinkwell and its staffing needs.
