"At Disney there is no typical day, and to be honest, that is the beauty of the Magic that we get to create," says Bushnell alumnus Jovani Guzman. A graduate of the School of Business, Leadership, and Technology, Jovani Guzman '16 spent over a decade working in the hospitality industry at multiple businesses, preparing him for his current role as an Area Manager for the Walt Disney Company. Jovani finds that growing up watching his mother work her way up the hotel industry in Las Vegas drew him to hospitality, with a passion for business always being a part of his life, even reselling Jordans to the local community during his time at Bushnell. For advice to our Beacons, Jovani states, "My advice is simple: go back to the basics! I interview people all the time and you would be amazed at how many candidates do not send a thank you email, do not ask follow-up questions, and do not have a resume or cover letter prepared... Today’s workforce is just looking for people who are genuine and who care to put in the hard work." Read the full Q and A with Jovani on our website.
