January 2009 PI Applicants

[Jana928]

Hi everyone! I thought that I would go ahead and start the thread for anyone that is going to be applying for the January 2009 Professional Internships at Walt Disney World! Yeah!! Anyway, I know that most of the internships are not available on the website yet, but I thought that this would be a good place for people to talk about any questions or concerns that they have, the internships that they will be applying to, how the interview process is treating them, etc.

So...to start off. I am Jana. I will be a senior this year at the University of Florida. I did the Fall Advantage Program 2005. I was a Recreation Hostess at Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness, and the Contemporary. I also drove the Fireworks Cruises for Wishes. It was AMAZING. I am going to be applying for the Events Assistant-Magic Kingdom, Cast Special Events, and College & International Operations-Event Planning. I am so excited and so nervous!

So, now it is your turn. :)

I am Justin, although I won't be applying for Jan PI's, I will be applying for those in June, specifically rooms and related ( Hotel Mgmt). I am going back to RIT for my masters in hospitality-tourism mgmt, so hopefully that added degree will lend credibility to me, and my potential of managing a high value resort, such as those at WDW. I did the CP in 2005 in QSFB at MK, and I am also doing my second tour of duty as a campus rep, so hopefully I can get it. I may also try and apply for other areas, maybe DEG, or Operations.

[Jana928]

Hey! I am a campus rep as well. I have been doing it for the past 3 semesters. My major is Recreation, Parks, and Tourism with specializations in Recreation and Event Management and Tourism and Hospitality Management. I am hoping that this, with my added event related work experience, will be enough to push me over the edge to get this internship.

[graygables]

I've decided I'm going to apply for a PI in Spring '09 as well as the CP (just in case). I've not done a CP before, so I'm hoping to find something that doesn't have that as a requirement. I'm older, 43, and in grad school for my Master's in Management. I have a B.A. in English/education and would love to be an instructor somewhere. I'm also a small business owner, so have lots of experience with product design, marketing, and sales. I've not had the chance to peruse the PI jobs, so I'm just waiting for them to be posted to make some decisions.

[Jana928]

Graygables: Have you thought about also possibly doing one of the internships at Disneyland? Their whole program is geared to the graduate management student. Just another option that you might want to consider in addition to the college program and WDW PIs. Which internships were you thinking of applying to?

Disneyland isn't really doable for me at this point. I live in Ohio and still have homeschooled kids at home. My older 2 are CMs at WDW, so my plan was to live with them and have hubby bring DDs several times throughout the program to visit. We can get a direct flight from our house for pretty cheap on Southwest; flying to California would be a big no. I've also got DVC and we have a 1BR reserved for the month of January to help transition DDs and hubby to my working there.

I really have no idea what to apply for since I haven't seen the PI/MIs that are available, but something along the lines of education or management. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them!

If you go to disneyinterns.com there is a list of most of the positions that they offer.

For education, they have
* Disney Institute Facilitation Assistant
* Disney Institute Program Assistant
* Disney Youth Education Facilitator

For management, they have
* Catering
* Culinary
* Food and Beverage
* Operations
* Recreation
* Retail
* Rooms and Related

Good luck!!!!!

[sylvesterT21]

I'm going to be a junior at Dartmouth College and I'm trying for a PI for Spring 09 as well, and like many others my "fallback" is the CP.

My ultimate dream is to work as an architectural or show/ride engineering designer at WDI, so I'm excited to see what positions they have available, but I'm excited for anything I could get!

[Merriweather86]

Hi!!! I'll be a junior at UCF then (I'm in the process of transferring down there and making the big move right now, actually...eek!), and I'm applying for certain for Guest Relations (I've REALLLLY got my fingers crossed for this one, it's my first choice by a landslide :yay: ), and I'm also looking at Guest Talent Coordinator with Disney Event Group and Epcot Events! Good luck everyone!!!

[Jana928]

Just thought that I would bump the thread. Anyway, they have started taking down all of the fall internships. So, hopefully that means that they will put up the spring ones soon. Here's hoping! :)

[allieb93]

Hey everyone,

My name is Allie! I too am hoping to get a PI for the spring semester. In the past I have applied for many PIs with not so much as a phone call in return and figured that out of all the applicants, they are going to probably choose someone who has done the CP first over someone how hasn't. SOOO in August I start my CP in merchandise and I hope to meet some people, figure out more of what I would like to do within Disney and apply for some professional internships. I graduated with a BBA in Marketing about a month ago and am crossing my fingers that if I go right from a CP to a PI, I am still eligble for the PI even though I have graduated. (According to my interviewer, this shouldn't be a problem). Anyways, I would like to work for Disney long-term so I essentially have one shot at landing a PI so I gotta work hard during my CP and hopefully make some connections and good impressions!

[DisneyRiah]

Hello!

My name is Mariah and I think that I, too, will be applying for a January 2009 PI. I'm actually a seasonal CM with Guest Relations at the Studios, and have been since 2006 after my first PI in that area and my Spring 2003 CP. I stayed seasonal because I had to move back home to TN, but I'm looking to move back to Orlando, if not as a part of Guest Relations, then definitely something in the communications field at Disney. I'm currently a grad student in Public Relations, and am hoping for some type of Communications internship to get started in that area. Here's hoping the internship openings will be posted soon! :thumbsup2

-Mariah

[spectroaddy]

hey, everyone I am hoping to apply PIs as well for the spring 2009 term. Currently I am now doing the CP program at Liberty Inn, its hard work but well worth it, I am networking seriously with my manager. I really would like to work at PI with Guest relations with disabilities or retail PI. After my program is up in January, if I don't get the PI, I plan to transfer out of qsf&b into attractions.

[Jana928]

So....the time has come! The internships for spring are starting to be posted on the Disney Careers website. So far, the only one up is Guest Services. However, start looking for them! :cool1:

[graygables]

thanks for the heads up!

Question...do I need a full blown resume? If so, I've got to get cracking on it!

Also, I noticed the decision date for this in in late November. I'm going ahead and interviewing for the CP as my backup plan, so do I accept and then decline the CP if the PI comes through? (I know that's been asked before, but I just need to clarify once and for all!)

[Jana928]

You definitely need a full blown resume.

Also, I know that there is a lot of controversy over this topic. What I would do is explain the situation to your recruiter. Ask them what they would rather have you do. That way, you will avoid any hurt feelings. I know that this is a little vague, but every recruiter is different and I am sure that they all have different philosophies on how you should handle this situation.

[bridgetzoe]

I know we need to have a full blown resume to apply for the PI's, but do we need to have a cover letter as well? I want to say I thought it was optional to do a cover letter, but I'm just wondering if you do one, I'm guessing it would have to be general enough to cover all the internships that you are applying for.

[Fantasmic1]

hey guys, i'm currently on a PI so i just went throught the long drawn out process of interviewing and waiting...if ya'll have any questions about the process just snd me a personal mess...good luck to everyone and happy waiting:thumbsup2

[Ellagirl]

Hey I'm Jenn and I did my CP last year in entertainment and I am still seasonal and I am hoping to do the wedding planning PI or Special events for MK because event management is my major. Does anyone know how soon they get back to you once you have sent in your application... like your 1st interview?

Hi there!

I'm new at replying on this board, but was hoping that I could find out a bit more info before applying this fall. I'm a former CP as well as a Campus Rep... just want to know more about the app process and whatnot. I would LOVE any help, and was hoping you could answer a few of my questions!

Thanks so much!

[zulemara]

I'm Thommy, I'm 23 and will be graduating from Western Technical College in December. I did CP at the Palm/Magnolia golf operations from aug 04-may05 and have been a campus rep the last 6 semesters, this will be my 7th and last! I am a network specialist major so I'm looking for almost anything in computers. I have seen a wedding video production job a couple times and given my current internship is video production, that would be right up my alley! If not, I am going to look towards some kind of management position.

Being a CP will also be my fallback. Either way, Jan 09 Disney here I come and this time it's for good!

[CelticBelle]

hi! Im a sophmore wildlife conservation biology major at UC Davis. Im going to wdw in august for a fall CP, but my real goal is to participate in the vet hospital PI or another animal PI. Im pre Vet at my school. Does anyone know if the animal programs are january through june as well as june through december? I thought I heard once that they are only the later half of the year.

I would love to go straight from my CP to a PI, but if not then do the PI in the june. Does anyone know where we can get more info such as pay rates, hours, requirements etc. I havent seen anything posted yet.

off topic but, how do you become a college rep? I would love to do that and my school has none right now.

[Jana928]

Where did they all go???? Before on the the disney careers website, there were 4 internships for spring already posted. Now they are gone!!! I think that Disney is just trying to toy with my emotions. :)

CelticBelle: When they start posting the internships on the website, the requirements will be made available. However, the hours and pay rates will not be given to you until you are much further into the process. Maybe not even until you get the internship.

You can call your recruiter and ask about becoming a campus rep. Since there are no campus reps now, it will be rather easy. They will give you some collateral and have you hang it up for e-prez. If there is a school around you that hosts the presentation, you can hook up with them for some support.

[Jana928]

Hey I'm Jenn and I did my CP last year in entertainment and I am still seasonal and I am hoping to do the wedding planning PI or Special events for MK because event management is my major. Does anyone know how soon they get back to you once you have sent in your application... like your 1st interview?


Hi Jenn! Where do you go to school? That is so cool that we are both event management! I rarely meet someone else outside of UF with my major. I am not exactly sure of the timeline for our internship. It varies so much. I know that last semester my friend was applying for the management PI and he didn't get the final word until May and the internship started in June. I know that the last day to turn in applications is October 3rd. They might start interviewing before that. Not sure. Sorry!

[Ellagirl]

Im an event major at Johnson and Wales. I did my CP last summer and I miss it alot but I am hoping that a PI will get me in with the company more. Since Im seasonal I try to go down to FL every chance I can to work. I was wondering if you knew if there are more then more positions at every job. Like will MK special events only take one PI or will they take like 5? Do you know anyone who has done a events PI?

[Flower4Pwr]

Hey there! It depends on the PI. I know MK Events only has one intern but the weddings internship takes 6. And Catering management has 4 interns. It really just depends on the internship and the buisness needs of the area! Hope that helps!

[zulemara]

off topic but, how do you become a college rep? I would love to do that and my school has none right now.

Towards the end of your CP you will see fliers and information come out about to apply to be a campus rep. It's really one of the easiest job in the world for the benefits we get:thumbsup2

[Ellagirl]

That is awsome that you did the Fairytale Weddings Internship How did you like it? What did you get to do every day? Did you live in the PI apartments? What is your major?Im sorry to ask so many questions but I really want to be a wedding planner so this is like a dream internship. Thanks!!!

[Vallie]

I'm not doing the PI but I did get into the disney grad program for jan 09! if anyone wants to chat! i wanna meet people going down there at that time!

disney grad program? I'm intrigued, tell me more

[DISNUT21]

I had a question regarding the Disney professional internships, I was thinking about possibly applying for one but I wanted to do a summer internship with them versus a 6 month internship and it states that they have a minimum 2 week internships, so I am wondering when you find out about these shorter internships and what positions are available?

[CelticBelle]

ooh! The positions are posted!!!!! at least for the animal programs. Ive been waiting for weeks for this!:cool1:

It doesn't mean they don't exist because the company is huge, but I've never come across a two-week internship. I have come across shorter summer internships in California at Consumer Products, Media Networks and Studios; they usually want you for 10 weeks, but maybe these are available for a shorter amount of time as well.

Really, though, two weeks isn't enough to take advantage of everything or for you to contribute anything of value to the company, in my opinion. A summer-long internship would be the bare minimum I'd consider.

A summer internship would be the bare minimum I would consider also, but the fact that they offered two week long internships really left me intrigued to look for some more information. I really hope that they have some PI's available this summer for MBA students come later on this year. But thanks for clearing it up a little bit more for me.

[zulemara]

aaahh so many choices! I took a brief look today and threw some jobs in my cart. Now I have to figure out which ones would be priority!

[CelticBelle]

i wanted to see the jobs and the requirements for the ones that I was interested in even though I probably will not apply until the spring for the fall internships. I saw that I need 6 months vet experience for some that I wanted. I know that Ive had about 1 months experience recently and I will be working with a vet when I return home in january. Does anyone know how strict or lenient they are on the requirements? Like if they ask for a 3.0 but I only have a 2.8 gpa?

Thanks!

[jeff318]

There are quite a few applicants for each position, so the better you match the standards, the better you will look.

[Ellagirl]

Has anyone been applying? Im really bummed that there is no entertainment manager intern!

[Jana928]

I am done applying. Now the waiting game begins.

[Kookaburra2211]

I am applying for:

Conservation Education
Recreation Management
Rooms Management


Good luck everybody!

[graygables]

I'm done applying, too. Patience will most certainly be a challenge.

[jeff318]

Just applied for
Global CMR Guest Relationship Marketing Internship
Ticketing Specialist Internship
Disney Vacation Club Sales Assistant Internship

[Ellagirl]

Is there a limit to the number of internships that you can apply for? And do you apply for each seperatly?

[DisneyScrappingMom]

They like if you limit it to 3 internships, but there is no set rule. I applied for more than 3 because I feel that I am well qualified for more than 3 of them

[Ellagirl]

i am so sorry to bother everyone with this stuff but i am trying to complete the application process and I pasted my resume in the text box but it completley messed up the format of the resume and i just wanted to make sure that it wasnt just me. I uploaded it to, does that mean that they can look at the formatted copy?

[graygables]

My resume did the same thing, so I went into the box and reformatted it to fit nicely. I uploaded mine as well, since my little graphic didn't show up in the box. I'm thinking I read somewhere that what is in the box gets sent through a program that sorts it out by keyword, but if you are being considered, they pull the downloaded copy.

I keep two versions of my resume: one formatted nicely and one text-only version because most companies with online applications want that one as well. It's worth pasting into something like Notepad first and formatting it, and then copy-pasting it into the box on the website.

[Ellagirl]

Thank you so much! I have no clue what to ask for stating salary though. I dont want to ask to high but i need money to live off of. i dont know the range of what they pay for PI's. Any suggestions

The starting salary part of the application is not relevent to PIs; the salary is pretty much set.

[Ellagirl]

Again, i am horribly sorry to bug everyone with these questions about applying but did everyone else include a cover letter with their application even if it didnt ask for one?

Congrats! Did your interviewer say whether or not s/he was moving you forward and do they tell you which ones? I'm trying to decide if I'm going to Casting while I'm there next week to pursue that avenue and how it might impact the PI. If my interviewer tells me I'm moving on, I may not visit Casting just yet, but if not, then I'll definitely be going. What to do, what to do!!!

pixiedust: heading your way!

How many did you apply for? I've applied for 5, but am wondering if she'll ask me to trim my list...

[DisneyScrappingMom]

I applied for 6 and she didn't have me trim my list at all just give her my top 3 . who is your interviewer? mine was Linda.

[graygables]

Mine is Linda, too! 515 this afternoon...I'm a nervous wreck! (I'm a vendor at the Creating Keepsakes Convention this weekend, so I'm having to leave my booth w/ DDs to find a quiet place for the interview)

[DisneyScrappingMom]

She called me a little later than 4:30 yesterday, she called around 4:45, just to let you know. The interview doesn't take long about 20- 25 minutes. What internships did you apply for?

That's good to know, thanks! I applied for retail and rooms & related management, product development, DCL internal communications, and DEG training (?) It's a broad range, but I thought I was pretty well qualified for all of them. I have my BA in English and am getting a Master's in management, so I'm hopeful.

[graygables]

Woo-hoo! Interview is done and I'm movin' on up! Now is "wait and hope" time...

[longballmg]

Is everyone who is applying for PIs a college junior or senior?

I just graduated and didn't get my PIs for the 08 semester.

I was wondering if anyone was trying to apply after they graduated and if it was allowed.

[Jana928]

I am a senior. You are allowed to apply for the internships as long as you are enrolled in college when you apply. :)

[Ace215]

Hello everyone! Im new here and see you guys are well in discussion! I applied for Retail, operations, DEG and the Merchandise Presentation Specialist. I received the call and have my first interview this wednesday. Im excited and a little nervous but im sure its nothing I can't handle.

Just for the record, I hope everyone here gets the internship you desire!

[jlc86]

I applied for three on aug. 4th and I haven't gotten a call yet.

I applied for management ops, management catering, and convention services associate internship.

[fmrcp06]

I wouldn't worry too much about the call. Just hang in there! They have been known to take awhile to contact people - so don't give up hope!:thumbsup2

[Ace215]

Interview complete!!! Now.....for the wait......Good luck to everyone!!!

[fmrcp06]

How were first interviews? What types of questions were asked?

[Ace215]

How were first interviews? What types of questions were asked?

Pretty simple questions, nothing that takes deep thought, although you don't want to give simple, irrelevant answers. Why you want to work for disney, biggest accomplishment, teamwork situation, etc. Just show a lot of interest, enthusiasm, and be your self.

[Lansley1]

I have decided to apply for a PI again. I tried getting in, in June, but was not offered the position. Hopefully this time will be different.

Disney Scraping Mom - you were applying for June as well right? I think I remember your name.

Has anyone applied for Food & Beverage or Rooms & Related management?

I noticed some of you have already gotten called. How long ago did you apply?

[graygables]

Weird thing...I got another phone call yesterday about calling to schedule my first interview (that I already had last Friday...) I called and they were confused, but finally came back on and thanked me for calling and sorting it out. Now I'm a bit nervous that something wasn't handled correctly somewhere along the line. :( I did receive the application on my workbench and got that filled out and turned in on Sunday. Should I call again just to be sure that everything is correct or would that seem like nagging?

I applied on Aug 1st for the Management PI's.

[vin1215]

Anyone who has already had their first interview remember any questions?? I know there are many who have yet to be interviewed so any help on the interview is much appreciated...Im am going for 3 different marketing PIs. I want one sooooo bad lol.

[lauraebeth]

wow. i'm feeling a little behind. . .

I've been religiously watching disneycareers for the PI's to be posted and when they were, I was thrilled! I've been waiting three years to be able to apply. . .

here's my background: Fall 2005 CP: MK QSR Stands east @ MK. and i'm currently a campus rep at my university.

I'm applying for Youth Education program facilitator, fairytale weddings, Recreation Manager and possibly services for guests with disabilities. . .

the youth education role is the one I REALLY want, If anyone knows anything about it, i'd LOVE to know. and if all of that fails, i'll do another college program. My boyfriend is applying for a college program for the spring, so it wouldn't be completely horrible to do another.

[PrincessMinnie17]

I applied for a PI on August 14th but haven't received a phone call yet. It scares me that others have already been contacted by phone!! I applied for an Animal Program internship...has anyone else applied for animal programs and receive a phone call??

Thanks for the help!!

Theres nothing to be worried about at this moment, my interviewer told me that I was one of the very first to be interviewed. And its still very early, they wont be picking people until November and 2nd interviews probably wont start until the beginning of october unless leaders rush things. So just hang in there, im sure you time is coming.

[Seewhatimesdone]

I would really like to apply for a PI but I don't think I have enough experience. I'm a pretty good artist and I want to apply for the character artist assistant but I don't think I have enough experience. And i'm sure there's waaaay better artists XD

Hey,

I did the WDWCP in Fall 07 for merchandising, as part of the BBB in CC's Opening Team. I'm now ready for another round, and I'm even considering transfering schools to stay down there permenantly. (I'm currently a Junior at the University of New Orleans, majoring in Film Arts.)

I just applied yesterday for:

-Stage Technician
-Entertainment Production
-Costume Designer

I have experience with all 3, but my ideal position would be the last one. Now I'm just in hurry up and wait mode. :guilty:

I put in for the Northbridge lottery, and I hope I get it as I'm looking at housing in the area right now on craigslist, and things are nuts!

Hi all,

Any tips??:eek:

Congrats and Good Luck, is this your first or second interview?

Don't tell them that you leave food out, don't use a hair net, or believe in stacking product on the floor.

[Lansley1]

Thats awesome to hear that Food & Beverage interviews are starting. When did you apply?

[fmrcp06]

This is my first interview I guess - I applied August 14th...

What is the difference btwn the 1st, 2nd, 3rd interview? I'm guessing the first is sort of general and whatnot like the CP interview... :confused3


How is everyone else doing?

[fmrcp06]

Don't tell them that you leave food out, don't use a hair net, or believe in stacking product on the floor.
great advice.. haha.. I'll make sure to remember that one.

[americangeiko]

great advice.. haha.. I'll make sure to remember that one.

I worked in a Deli before and hearing some of the standards that have to be kept for the FDA is crazy, but manageable. Paired with the knowledge that Disney will pitch a lot of their standing QS food after less than a 1/2. Disney has some high standards for food.

My CP was in F&B so i've got a bit of a handle on their standards. I ate, slept, and breathed those for 6 months...

[americangeiko]

Then I think you have a REALLY good chance of getting your PI! :goodvibes

[natty41]

Hi All!

I've been casually browsing this thread in the last week and have a quick question for those who've applied for a PI already...did y'all include a cover letter with your resume? The website doesn't appear to ask for one (if it did I blinked and missed it). :confused3

Hi there,

you will be able to check a box to upload a cover letter - I HIGHLY recommend you do so. It's professional and you should be doing that for sure.

I did, even though I wasn't originally going to, but it's not that hard.

I just mentioned that I was a CP Alumni, and have both formal training and work experience in the positions I applied for.

A good cover letter will let recruiters know that you're qualified for a job before they ever look at your resume.

Hello, it is my first time posting here but since I am waiting to here back about a PI I though I could use some support lol. August 1st I applied for 3 positions, already got my phone interview but I waiting to hear anything else back. I never did I tradition CP but I worked PT for 1.5 years at WDW and now am finishing up a version of the CP for UCF hospitality management majors. Are there any other rosen students here? I was reading the posts and some of you said you were told you're moving forward in the process after the phone interview and I was wondering what ya'll mean by that? In my phone interview I had been told beyond this point it is out of casting's hands and that my application was going to the department managers (2 of the three applications were for management PIs if that matters) and it was hard to say when they would start contacting people. She gave me a little speech about how some managers start calling applicants they like right away while others like to wait until they have a big stack to pick from people they start contacting people. Is that what you guys were told? Or was that just a nice way of being told I probably will not be hearing back?

From what I've understood, if you meet the minimum qualifications in the first interview, then your application "moves forward" to the next person to interview you. No guarantee that you have the position, but it does mean that you've made it past the first hurdle. :banana:

What time is your interview today?

[Ellagirl]

I just finished my interview and i have mix feeling about it... now i just have to play the waiting game i guess.

[CFL]

All of this waiting is defiantly not fun but at least we will know when people start getting second interviews. I really want to hear something back but knowing no one else is hearing anything either makes me feel a bit better. My phone interview has me worried because I feel like she skipped a ton of questions since I am current cast. The whole phone call lasted 15 min and it seems like everyone else's was much longer. And everytime I had to give examples of things that happened at work she insisted I use my current location, which I have been in about a month...as opposed to places I worked for a year at.

I felt the same way... that since im a cast member the interview did not last that long and i was really unsure about some of the answers i gave... oh well its over and now i just get to wait. im glad that my 1st interview is complete.
Do you always have a 2nd interview when they are considering you for a position?

Hey can you pm me some of the questions you were asked and what position you're applying for? I have an interview tomorrow night and am very nervous. Any help is much appreciated.

[fmrcp06]

I had my interview tonight as well. I was told it would be at 6pm, and did not get a call until 7pm. She was told it was 7 so it was a lot of waiting. My interview was relatively quick as well. She said it was an absolutely excellent interview and that I was moving on. She also said that depending on the managers, I could be waiting until November because they all have different approaches. Apparently some wait until the end to start calling all the applicants and weed people out, while others call all along and weed out as they go. The waiting game begins!!!:rolleyes1

[Jana928]

I had my interview this morning and I think that it went really well. I am moving on to the next stage, of course. Now it is time for more waiting. I can't wait until this process is over!!! ;)

[KnightFarms]

Has anyone applying for PI's not done the college program? It's my dream/goal to work at Disney, and I'm hoping to get an internship for Fall of 09. I have two young kids and can't really do the CP and a PI...

Is there a summer CP? But at that point the PI for fall 09 would be decided already.

Any's 2 cents would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Cheryl

Hi, neighbor (Medina)! I've applied for 5 PIs and have not done a CP. There was no CP requirement listed for them. I did apply for a 6th that did have the CP requirement, but after filling out a little online questionnaire, was politely told there were other, more qualified candidates. After my first interview, I was told I'd be moving forward and the "wait and hope" game would begin. I don't know if hiring managers prefer former CPers or not, but I've been hearing it's not necessarily a deal-breaker.

[fmrcp06]

Hi there,

As you've seen from some of the applications and posts, it is not totally necessary to complete the CP to be offered a position. I will say however, having been a CP that I have a much better understanding of the company and what it takes to be successful there. I applied for Management PI's and I know that completing the CP will help tremendously because I know what these CP's have been through. I think the reason the tend to like former CPs in those positions is because they've worked bottom up, and have that understanding.

Like I said, def not necessary to take part in the CP, I just think that you have a bit more of an edge if you have completed the program!

GOOD LUCK!!!! :thumbsup2

[vin1215]

Had my first interview last night (all marketing roles) and I passed. I am pretty happy, and the person above me said, you do not have to do the CP necessarily. I have not done a CP and so far so good.

[CFL]

Disney is an unique company to work for and many people do not fit well with the company, because of this they really like to hire from within. Hiring former CPs is a way for them to do that with interns. Several of the internships do not require having done a CP and while I am sure it gives you an advantage to have done one so long as you have comparable experience it should not be a real negative for you.

[americangeiko]

I got a call from Lindsay today asking if they could set up an interview on Tuesday. I had to push it back to Friday afternoon since Gustav is set to make landfall on Tuesday. I asked her to mark my account that I'm in the Hurricane area and might not be able to re-schedule/call-in for my interview because I might be somewhere without a phone/power.

[Beckmyster]

Hey guys! I'm Becky from Houston. I am trying to decide if I should attempt to do the PI this spring. I'm a graphic design major so I would be applying for those positions. Does anyone know more info on them? Like how competitive is it to get one? And what exactly do you do? I've been trying to find someone that did them but I don't think I'm going to have any luck, lol. I would have to sacrifice a lot to participate in the PI so I want to know what I'm getting into!

[Berlioz70]

Well - I've applied for my first two (College Recruiting and College Operations) and will be starting on my next two cover letters this week. I'm debating applying for a 5th - but I haven't quite decided if I want to go that route or not. Woo hoo!

[can84]

I just found this thread--it's great! I have my first interview on Wednesday and am so excited. I've only applied for one position, but there were another 2 or 3 I was interested in. Does anyone know if you can apply for another one after your first interview? Thanks.

[fmrcp06]

So, the email says that decisions will be made by November 28... looks like the waiting game is going to be quite the wait!!!:rolleyes1

[graygables]

Yep, and since applications don't close for another month...has anyone been called for the 2nd interview yet? If I were a hiring manager, I know I'd be waiting until after the deadline to get my candidates lined up...

[Lansley1]

Its been kind of quiet these past couple of days. Has there been any other phone calls? Is anyone in my situation and haven't gotten a call yet? I was interviewed last term but was never offered the position. I hope that it won't be held against me.

[fmrcp06]

Hi,

I def do not think that it would be held against you. If anything, it shows that you are determined and passionate about the position!! It has been super quiet... I think most everyone is waiting for second call backs. It could be a little while until things pick up...

[americangeiko]

My 1st interview is tomorrow afternoon. I'll be taking notes. I'm gonna "break a leg". ^_~ :banana:

[graygables]

Those with past experience interviewing...do they call to *schedule* an interview or do they just call and interview you on the spot??? I read an account of a PI applicant who had a "private" number on their cell, answered, and was interviewed. That makes me nervous as I have kids and a dog around all the time and I'd rather have a scheduled time that I can be somewhere else or they can...

They called me first to schedule a formal interview.

[fmrcp06]

This is for the CP Program :) I believe she was asking about the PIs. I believe they do call you first to set an interview time. Although with Disney, you just never know :)

[americangeiko]

CP: I did the college presentation and they did on the spot face-to-face interviews. Those I know who did the online presentation I believe were told that they'd be contacted, and when they were, got an interview. (I don't know if there was a call to schedule an interview or not.)

PI: Call to establish schedule, and then 1st interview. Though I've heard that there won't be any 2nd phone interviews until atleast the 3rd of next month. 0.0

[americangeiko]

Worst interviewer ever. Which makes me think that I probably won't get called back. It's possible that I might considering they don't decide whether or not you get a position.

I'm not that worried about it though, too much other things going on right now. I guess if I don't get it, I'll just have to finish college like I originally planned too.

What was so horrible about it?

[americangeiko]

She was just very rude.

And no surprise, shortly there after I got bumped from my No 1 choice. I guess I'll just have to finish college, do my study abroad program in Germany, and then go teach ESL in S.Korea.

[graygables]

And no surprise, shortly there after I got bumped from my No 1 choice.

:confused3 I don't understand what you mean...

(and sorry it didn't go well :( )

[americangeiko]

I received an email saying that they weren't interested in me for my first choice out of the professional internships I applied for.

Don't worry, it's not your fault, if I had my choice of interviewers, I wish I could've gotten that "Diana" lady that everyone was talking about.

That's a real bummer. I got a "strange" email today about one of the PIs I applied for, but knew before my interview that I wasn't going to get (had a CP requirement)...it said "this position will no longer be filled at this time". No biggie for me, I just thought it was odd.

[americangeiko]

Mines said I didn't meet the requirements of the position, though I met every requirement of the position, and then it said that there was better candidates.

I'm actually curious to see who'll get hired for the position as the only people I'd know to be more qualified than me are attending schools that are 25 thousand a year/semester to attend.

[DisneyScrappingMom]

What position was it that you applied for if you don't mind me asking?

[americangeiko]

Costume Design

[CFL]

You guys are all getting email from disney about you applications? I haven't heard anything from them yet...I don't know that is good or bad since I know they have my correct email. However I did get an email from my school advisors office (a general email sent out to everyone in my major) saying that if you were applying for a disney operations management internship to also send a copy of your resume to them. I applied for that over a month ago, as well as another management internship but I went ahead and sent her my resume anyways. I might give them a call and see if they are doing special consideration for students from my school since they have done it in the past, and make sure my application is in the right file with them.

[americangeiko]

Trust me, not hearing anything right now is good as they're sending out the "rejection slips".

[_frazzle]

Wow I didn't know what they could reject people :( This makes me so nerious. I want to do it after I graduate.

[americangeiko]

It's why they tell you to apply for more than one internship.

[Lansley1]

I got rejected in June and even though it kind of sucked, I didn't let it stop me from applying again. Professional Internships are very hard to get. Talking to different people with Disney and people that apply, you have a better chance of not getting the position, then you do of getting it. It is very competitive and from what I seen, its hard to determine what they focus on when they hire. Most time, people are over experienced and do not get the job. I am not counting on getting selected. If I do, it would be great and I would like the opportunity, but I can't assume that I will get selected.

[fmrcp06]

So rejection emails are already going out, huh? The only email I got was after my interview saying that I'd be moved on to the next round.. but my interviewer had already told me that after my interview. Has anyone had their second interviews yet? I'm surprised rejections are already going out since the deadline is a bit away...

[AJ826]

Hi everybody, I'm new to the forum, and have read all your posts, and I wish you all the best of luck.

I was not planning to apply for a spring PI. I saw a sign advertising a management PI networking event this Wednesday at a local hotel, and replied to RSVP because I just wanted to start networking for next year. The contact person happened to be my old CP recruiter, and she asked me for my resume. She forwarded it to professional recruitment, and then I got a call to schedule a face2face interview for retail management this Friday. I'm excited about it, but I'm doing it just to see how the process works. Since it wasn't on my plans I'm not that nervous or anxious about actually landing the PI (next year will be a whole different story!)

[Jana928]

I think what Lansley meant was that they got rejected for a fall internship. This person has applied again for a spring internship.

[mickeyfan85]

Hey everyone! I am currently doing my hospitality CP at the Grand Floridian and it is great! I plan on doing a PI in January, but I am probably not going to send in the paperwork until the end of this week.

Our cast services person said there was no need to apply early...no one in the departments looks at them until after the deadline passes. So I've waited a little bit to get everything in order and make some good contacts.

I plan on applying for the rooms and related mgt PI, the operations mgt training at Disneyland, and one other PI that I have yet to decide (probably merchandise mgt).

[Mallory Lu]

Hello Everyone,

I completed a PI last spring in Floral Design.
*For anyone who is getting antsy about not being contacted yet-
Last year I completely gave up hope when it was getting really late in the fall and I had not even been contacted for an initial interview. It turned out that I only had to complete one interview and it was with the department manager. For some reason (I never found out why) they totally skipped the whole 1st interview process for that position (floral design). This just proves that every department really does things differently.

I loved my experience last year so much that I decided to apply again for next spring in different areas.
This year I applied to:
Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings
Costuming Buyer
Costuming Management
I have a background in floral design and I graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a degree in fabric design at the end of November.
I had my initial interview a couple weeks ago and it went smoothly.

Good luck to everybody! Hopefully we will all start hearing good news soon!

[figment82]

Hello everyone!
I've been reading this thread obsessively, but haven't posted before today...
I just finished my first phone interview and my resume is being forwarded on - I'm so excited!

I applied for several roles - financial analyst, events, and ecommerce specialist - and the interviewer (Kim?) said I was specifically being forwarded on for the ecommerce specialist but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be considered for the other roles as well. (I'm HOPING that's because ecommerce is such a specific skillset that it's more difficult to find qualified candidates for that type of job...but then again there might only be one position available, I forgot to ask, so if that limits my chances....ARGH I HAVE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT IT!:rotfl:)

ANYWAYS, the interview was nothing difficult - I think she asked me more about my technological background because of the type of job it is, but also other "typical" interview questions - why do you want to work for disney, what is your biggest accomplishment, etc.

For those who are worried because they didn't get a first call yet - don't stress! I applied on August 19th, and I only got the call to schedule the interview yesterday...they said I may not hear anything back again until after October 3rd when all the resumes are in....so now I'm playing the waiting game along with everyone else!

(Oh, she did say the salary range for the non-management professional internships is $7-$13/hour, though she didn't specify which areas have which ranges. I had to agree up front on the interview that I was okay with that range before she continued the interview - so if you KNOW there's no way you could work for that amount, you may want to pass on the opportunity.)

good luck to everyone who is trying for this great opportunity!:grouphug:

[Lansley1]

I got called today. 1st phone interview tomorrow.. There is Hope.

[princesskelly17]

Hello! I have been lurking around here for the last couple of weeks and I think I have a serious case of OCD! I am obsessed with this forum, watching and waiting for someone to hear something!:surfweb:

Anyway, I just received an email thanking me for interviewing. It said that I was moving on and that a leader would me contacting me directly to set up an interview. Has anyone else received this email? It gave me some hope that I could actually get a 2nd interview. :cheer2:

[Ellagirl]

Yup i got it a few days after i had my 1st interview... but i thought that it was just a standard thank you for applying and you will be moving on email. Im also OCD with this thread!

[graygables]

Yes, I got that one, too! It won't be long now and we'll start hearing more! :cheer2:

[fmrcp06]

I received that email as well - There are still quite a few days left for people to apply, so I'm sure we will be waiting a bit. Trying to be patient... not sure how well that is working!popcorn::

[figment82]

Did anyone get an application in their email after they were told they were moving on to the next level? I got the application emailed yesterday, and then the "you're moving on" email today...my recruiter didn't mention the application so I was surprised by it, not that there's anything unusual on it or anything.

[Berlioz70]

I'm jealous! I applied for my first two internships on 8/29 and still haven't heard anything yet. It's probably a good thing, I just applied for three more today. I was hoping they wouldn't call before I applied for all of those that I wanted. But now I'm wondering why they haven't called - it's making me nervous.

So here's a question - all of the ones I applied for required a current college student at junior/senior level. I've already graduated and am currently in the CP (which is how I'm still eligible), but hope that doesn't mean I'm automatically ignored because I'm not a junior/senior. Any ideas??

[Ellagirl]

im not sure because i think that you have to registered in some school to apply but im not sure...

[fmrcp06]

I didn't get an application after I was told I was moving on. What did you apply for? I know that there are different ways they go about it for each position. hmmmmm:confused3

[Berlioz70]

im not sure because i think that you have to registered in some school to apply but im not sure...

It's okay if you're a current CP - but I'm not sure how that works into the individual job qualifications.

[havie35]

Hey how's it going everybody? I am new to this whole thing and have been reading the posts today. I applied on the third of this month for four finance internships and have not received a call or email yet. I know its a long process but it is nerve wracking as everybody says. For all of you who had your first interview already, how much time went by between when you applied online and got the first call to schedule an interview?

[figment82]

I applied on August 19th and got a call on September 8th to schedule my interview for September 9th...so it was almost 3 weeks in between...other people have been closer to 2, but I think the further into the process they get the more bogged down they probably get...

[CFL]

The only email I have gotten is the one letting you know your application was submitted, nothing after the phone interview. The woman on the phone said my application was going on to department managers but I never received an email saying I was moving on. Is this the case for anyone else? I applied for management PIs

[graygables]

Mine said (among other things), "Thank you for interviewing...you have been chosen to move forward in the interview process..."

My interview was 8/15 and I got the email on 8/29 (I applied between 8/1-3)

[AJ826]

I just got back from the networking event at our local Hilton hotel, and it was a great experience! I got invited to interview for Retail Management, and had the chance to meet my interviewers before the actual interview. They told me that the interview I'm going to on Friday will be THE interview for the internship. The interviewers are the Area Retail Operations Manager for Downtown Disney and the Area Manager for Retail at Epcot (who btw was one of my managers back when I did my CP, and got promoted this year, so I was thrilled to see a familiar face).

We talked about a lot of things about the PI, but what actually caught my attention was that for this next season they don't have an actual quota for how many interns are going to be selected. The Mgr for Downtown Disney told me he currently has 3 Management Interns, and sometimes he hires more than 3, less than 3, or even none if he didn't find candidates that interested him.

I don't know how it is for the other management areas, but anybody applying for a Retail Mgt, when you get your interview with the area managers, just remember to impress them and load up your resume with interesting stuff.

And now to the interview next Friday!

Good luck everyone!!

Sounds like you had a great time...good luck to you!

Impressing managers is my biggest worry. I've been out of the work force for so long and on my own. I haven't had a job interview in 15 years and I'm afraid I'm going to blow it.

You'll do fine! :) Just relax and be yourself!

Just got back from the PI interview. It was interesting to say the least. It was quick though, about little more than 10 minutes. I think I did OK, let's see what happens.

They are actually making a couple of hiring decisions today, so they'll let us know if we got in before the end of the day.

Short wait, but a little nerve-wrecking.

[princesskelly17]

How did you hear about the networking event?

[AJ826]

They placed a sign at my school's internship bulletin board. It's the first time they've done the event here at Puerto Rico. I don't know if they have a schedule of networking/interview events at other states.

The CP presentations are also this week all around the island, so the professional recruiting people decided to come along with the CP people.

[fmrcp06]

This whole process is so very odd. I've met SO many people that are doing PI's that were hired practically on the spot by recruiters coming to their schools and whatnot. It's so weird to me that they do this, especially since they have so many other applicants. I'm not sure of their reasoning behind completing such quick on the spot interviews when most of us will have to go through a pretty lengthy process!

Stay positive everyone!!!:cool1:

[figment82]

It does seem really weird that some people are being told same-day and others have to wait months to find out! But it probably has to do with meeting in person - they don't have to go through the same elaborate screening process!

Anyways, good luck to you - let us know how it turns out!

[AJ826]

I just got off the phone with professional recruitment, and accepted the offer for Retail management starting January. They're going to email me my location next week when they get back to Florida.

Good luck to everyone applying!

Wow congratulations! Did you get any idea of what types of things they were looking for on your resume? What interested them? I am getting worried I havn't heard anything at all from Disney. I have been really sick and missed work and since I am current cast I think that is going to count against me. Maybe I should call and see what is going on.

[Mrs.CptnJackSparrow]

That's a real bummer. I got a "strange" email today about one of the PIs I applied for, but knew before my interview that I wasn't going to get (had a CP requirement)...it said "this position will no longer be filled at this time". No biggie for me, I just thought it was odd.

By any chance was that the MK HR internship? lol. If you want the story PM me. My roommate is currently the MK HR intern..



ALSO!!! This is for everyone! Im currently a PI.. I love it!!! Great money and loads of fun!! I know my manager only hired 6 this semester but is looking to hire 10 next semester. I suggest people to apply for my internship!!!


I applied for a few... I have meet and greets lined up. crossing my fingers.


One more thing lol... My PI process was obnoxious. I had only that one intial interview. I waited till the end and heard nothing. I was all set and ready to go to the Fall CP program. Two weeks after the date when they told you to pretty much give up I got a phone call and offered me a position.. so dont stress too much (i know thats hard to do) Disney is kinda all over the place just depends on the department. for any questions PM.. I have friends and roommates with internships all over the place.

ty. During the networking event we had last Wednesday, one of the managers talk a lot about resumes. He basically said that since he doesn't have time to read everything that's on resumes (average of 20 seconds looking through) he just looks for things that stand out and make him be interested (like previous experience with big companies like microsoft and, obviously, Disney).

When I went for the interview he did just that, gave a quick look to the resume, asked a couple of questions about my current job and then went on with a series of questions they had on paper.

[Jana928]

Just got the call for my second interview! YEAH!!! :cool1: It is for the College Program Operations internship and it will be next Monday at 9am! SO EXCITED!!!!

[figment82]

That's awesome - congratulations!!

How long ago was your first interview?

How long ago was your first interview?

I had my first interview on August 28th.

[havie35]

i applied september 3rd and am still waiting for a call, im gettin ancy... i know its a long process but damn lol

[figment82]

havie, you're not even at your 2 week mark yet - don't worry, they'll call soon! My unofficial data analysis (based on people's posts on this board and my own experience) is that there is a 2-3 week turnaround before you get the initial call....AND that might get even longer as they get closer to the deadline and have a lot of last minute applicants (assuming that happens....) SO it's not even a very good scientific poll.

But besides that, you have nothing to worry about!

All of us waiting for second interviews, on the other hand.....that might take forever, from what I'm hearing!

[havie35]

I know I need to relax. Sorry to sound like a whiny biatch haha. I know all of you feel that pent up excitement too though!

[figment82]

Oh, you don't sound whiny! Everyone deals with the wait differently - when they didn't call me after a week I was pessimistic...when two weeks passed, I didnt' even want to mention to anyone that I had applied anymore because I figured it meant I wasn't going to get called...you're not the only person that's nervous! I just wanted to make sure you knew there's nothing to worry about!:cool1:

[AJ826]

Just got info about the arrival date for PIs (at least management). It will officialy be on January 9th.

[vin1215]

awesome....did you land a management PI already??

[graygables]

Just got info about the arrival date for PIs (at least management). It will officialy be on January 9th.

Is that for all of them or is that only for the ones from PR? Since their interview process was different, I didn't know if intake would differ as well.:confused:

[DisneyScrappingMom]

All PI's Arrive at the same time, which I guess this semester is going to be Jan 9th.

[graygables]

All PI's Arrive at the same time, which I guess this semester is going to be Jan 9th.

Thanks for clarifying. We're due to arrive the 4th, so if I do get a PI, that gives me a little play time first! :woohoo:

[AJ826]

Is that for all of them or is that only for the ones from PR? Since their interview process was different, I didn't know if intake would differ as well.:confused:

As far as I know, even though the interview process was different, every other aspect of the PI will be the same. I talked with my CP recruiter last Wednesday and she told me that last week (after two days of interviews) they extended 17 offers in total for all management positions combined (retail, rooms & related, operations, food & beverage).

awesome....did you land a management PI already??

Yes, retail management.

[vin1215]

wow thats awesome. I am still trying to get a second interview for any of the marketing roles I applied for...Is there anything else I can do besides sit and wait?

[Christyl]

Hi Everyone!!!
My name is Christy, I'm from Puerto Rico and I will be at Disney doing a Management internship in Jan 09 in food and Beverage. I was a cp on 2005 fall advantage and 2006 summer alumni at the Contemporary Resort (Chef Mickey's). I can't wait to get there!!! I'm looking for more interns to share experiences and concerns too. Also I'm looking for posibles roomates because the management interns don't have housing oportunities. I had formally acepted the offer for the internship! Feel free to contact me and others interns too! :)

[Christyl]

I'm looking for Management Interns season January 09, to share some concerns! Feel free to contact me

[Christyl]

:wizard:

[Christyl]

:teacher:

[Ellagirl]

I was just curious about a few things:
1. Does anyone know how many people apply and when the % of acceptance is?
2. If you currently have a job at Disney are you able to remain seasonal in that position, or keep your skills up to date? While on PI can you pick up shifts in the area that you used to be in?

Thank you!

[Christyl]

Ellagirl;
I have no clue about the % of acceptance
If you currently have a job at disney you can be a sesonal cast member but not at the same place of your current work. That will depend on the availability at the time. You can stay in the same line of business. I don't understand what u mean about pick up shifts, did you mean to be a PI in the same place that u used to work. I belive not. I have no clue where I will be working at. I know is in food and beverage but the location is uncertain for me.

[Jana928]

Just finished my second interview. It was for the College Program Operations. I think that it went really well. Eric said that he was the end of the road as far as interviews go for this position. He also said that they would be making their decision between October 2nd and 12! PLEASE let me get it!!!!!!!!:)

[_frazzle]

Best of luck Jana, I hope you get in! :dance3:

[figment82]

Not sure if this is what Ellagirl is asking or not, but I had a similar question, so...

if you get a professional internship (let's assume temporarily in something non-management, and therefore non-salaried) are you able to pick up shifts in a role that would be traditionally more college program oriented?

Ie: you get a marketing internship, can you pick up hours in attractions when you're not working in the marketing department?

[I believe the answer to this is yes, but I haven't done the program, so I'm not sure...in the past, people have said you just call the extra hours hotline if you want to do this...though it sounds like you get paid at the rate the position you pick up hours for gets paid, NOT your PI rate.]

[Mallory Lu]

To Ellagirl and Figment-

I did a PI for DEG last spring and there were no limitations to me picking up extra hours through the extra hours hotline on the hub. Because I was not trained in anything else, the only positions I picked up were ones that did not require training (pirate and princess, ehm wristbands, quick-service runner, etc). I was almost always able to find something when I really had the desire to work overtime. I worked at least 40 hours every week in my PI position.

I am almost positive they would not be willing to train interns in another area so they can pick up extra shifts. But if you are ALREADY certified in attractions, cash handling, etc from a previous position I think you should be eligible to pick up those extra shifts on the extra hours hotline.

And yes, I got paid the rate that everyone in those positions receives (not my PI rate), but it was overtime, so it was always time and a half.
And by the way, my PI pay rate was not too much more than most CPs, so these extra shifts did help a lot.

Hope that explains what you were asking!

[figment82]

Thanks Mallory, that definitely answers my question (especially since I also have not done CP so I'm also not trained in any areas =))

Which of the areas that you filled in for did you enjoy the most? (ooo! and what did you do for pirate & princess? so fun!)

[havie35]

mallory... if you dont mind me asking, what was your pay rate?

[Ellagirl]

Thanks for the answers! I just wanted to make sure you could pick up shifts that were not in the same work area as your PI

Just finished my second interview. It was for the College Program Operations. I think that it went really well. Eric said that he was the end of the road as far as interviews go for this position. He also said that they would be making their decision between October 2nd and 12! PLEASE let me get it!!!!!!!!:)

Im so happy that you got a second internview, it gives the rest of us hope! What types of questions did they ask you? Were they similar to the 1st interview?

[vin1215]

Congrats Jana! Also if you could share any questions that the interviewer asked that would be great? How was it compared to the initial interview?

[Mallory Lu]

I really enjoyed picking up extra shifts. Because my PI role was "backstage" I had very little guest interaction and rarely worked in the theme parks. The extra untrained shifts I did occasionally all gave me great opportunities to get out into the parks and have fun with the guests.
My favorite were the pirate and princess parties. For every night they hold this event, they post tons of extra shifts that dont require training. I usually worked "treats" which meant I stood at a "treasure spot" in my piratey princess dress and handed out little prizes like candy or beaded necklaces to guests when they found me.

Sometimes being backstage at an office building miles away from the theme parks made me lose sight of the fact that I was actually working at WDW, so picking up these extra shifts really contributed to making my PI experience so great.

But this is just me, I know many other interns in my department who were glad to be distanced from guests and never even considered looking for extra shifts to pick up.

[Mallory Lu]

mallory... if you dont mind me asking, what was your pay rate?

$7.43/hr for 40 hours a week
Every role is different, and you really do not know what your role pays until they offer it to you.
And from what I understood, it is a standard rate that every person in that specific intern role receives, it is not determined individually. ie-the other floral design intern received the same pay rate as I did.

[MegaraRocks!]

I am brand new to disboards, but I was doing some research on the PIs because I plan on applying in january. The manager for recruiting for PIs told me that the pay rate varies between 11 to 14 dollars and hour depending on your role, education, and experience. Management PIs are diffrent the are salaried at 500 dollars a week, not hourly. Hope this helps. this is the most up to date information i have.

[Christyl]

Management are 600+ a week*

[havie35]

How did it go up so much from 7.43/hour like mallory said to 11-14/hour? I'm all for it but it just sounds weird. At 7.43, I don't even know if it would be worth it or if I would even be able to have fun and still pay the rent and eat lol.

[Ellagirl]

I have one friend who did the PI this past spring and she was a markting PI and She made around $9.25

[Mallory Lu]

The 7.43 was for my role as floral design intern. Again, every role is paid different, and I probably had the lowest paying out of all of them. But
I know a lot of my friends were NOT making 11-14/hr. Usually I think somewhere between 9 and 11.
And all of the interns I knew who had the same role were making the same rate as the other interns in that role. Rate was not based on individual experience or education. It was just a standard rate that all interns in that role make.
In my first interview for this year, she told me the rate for management was 615/wk (or maybe it was 625 I dont remember exactly).

Maybe the person you talked to was just talking about one area/department in particular? Or maybe things have changed since last spring (it would be awesome if everyone were guaranteed 11-14!) I dunno...

[fmrcp06]

Has anyone heard back for second interviews other than those who did interviews and were accepted at the interviews in PR?

Deadline is fast approaching - hopefully we will hear soon!!

[figment82]

My initial interviewer told me $7-$13 per hour for non-management PIs and $615/week salaried for management PIs, just FYI. I know it depends on what position you are in, but don't be surprised if the pay rate is lower than you might have expected - it's an internship, after all - lots of internships don't pay at all!

[vin1215]

does anyone have a guess on the payrate for backstage marketing roles??

also can anyone share some of the interview questions they were asked for the second interview?? How did it compare to the first?

[jeff318]

I just got a phone call to set up a second interview. Hopefully more calls will start coming soon for the rest of you!

This interview is for the Global CMR Guest Relationship Marketing Internship.
It's my top choice! :woohoo:

[Ellagirl]

Does anyone know if the Disney managers will fill out school paperwork and evaluations for you? Because someone told me that they can be difficult about signing things but im not sure how reliable that person was so i was just curious if anyone else knew anything. Thanks!

[MegaraRocks!]

Well I hope the lady i spoke to was correct!!! As for paperwork, i know that my manager on the CP program was more then happy to sign my school evaluations and my recuriter for campus reps is just as willing to be of assistance. so i hope that the PI managers are as willing to be helpful. im sure they will be!

[graygables]

I spent the summer in WDW and I did alot of research on the PIs because I want to apply soon. One of the ladies from the PI office told me 11-14 an hour depending. I am almost positive she is right. 7.43 is the going rate for the college program now.

I just checked my notes from the interview and she said $7-$13 for hourly roles, $615/week for managerial roles. I had to affirm that I understood the 2 pay scales and agreed that my wage could be anywhere in that range.

[MegaraRocks!]

Maybe she was just refering to the department i was asking about. I dont know! I was asking about specific internships so she may have thought that was all i wanted to know about.

[Ellagirl]

thank you for the info!

[Mallory Lu]

The other intern in the same role as me needed to have our manager sign papers for her school all the time and it was never a problem.

Toward the end of my internship I asked a manager to write a letter of recommendation for me because my work study job at school needed one from my current employer. At first he said that he was not "allowed" to, some kind of company policy, but then he ended up doing it for me anyway kind of on his own without directly mentioning disney.

[Berlioz70]

does anyone have a guess on the payrate for backstage marketing roles??

My understanding is that payrates within specific roles can vary - it's based on your work experience with Disney - have you done the CP, how many PIs have you done? So that's why they give a range. The other interns within your same department may all be making a different amount.

[Mrs.CptnJackSparrow]

hey! im a current PI. have never done a CP and I'm getting paid 12.05/hr. It really depends on the department. My other roommates are making the same or less.

[MegaraRocks!]

WOW congrats on ur PI. Thats very very impressive because i hear its rare to be choosen if you havent done a CP.

[jlc86]

what does it mean if one of the internships i applied for is no longer on my workbench. I applied for three and only two of them are still there. does that mean that internship has been filled already?

[Ellagirl]

I just looked on my workbench and one of the ones that i applied to is no longer listed on the workbench. I wonder if it means that your out of the running for that one... i hope not! Or maybe it means there looking them over. Which one was it that was taken off of yours?

[Mallory Lu]

I received a call today to set up an interview with Fairytale Weddings! It is next Friday afternoon.

To those of you who were asking about what type of questions are in the second interviews-
Last year mine was with the manager of my department. It really was not what I expected. She asked me basic questions about my previous work experience and my major in college and why I wanted to work at wdw. And then it seemed like the other 80% of the interview was the manager telling me about the role. The majority of it was her talking and me listening...which I thought was odd for an interview.
I'm sure every area handles these interviews differently, that was just my experience with the floral department.

I hope all of you hear about your second interviews soon!

[lauraebeth]

convention services associate was removed from my workbench and hasn't returned, and i researched for it and it wasnt posted. i hope it hasnt been filled.

[americangeiko]

I spoke to a past stage tech PI who told me that it's $8.92/hr for them, and around $11/hr for entertainment production assistants. Though she did say that what you make as an intern might be higher than the base pay for the position you're applying for.

She said that the base pay for FT stage techs was $12.50/hr & for Entertainment Production Assistants that it was lower than $11/hr. I'm actually hopeful that it varies person to person because I have extensive experience doing Stage Tech for various companies in the area, and my base pay for them is more like like the FT base pay, than that of the internship pay.

Though I'm more worried about trying to live on $9/hr :confused3

Oh, and if a position is missing from your workbench, I'd say it's been filled as the Costume Design Position is still listed in mine, and I know I got "bumped" from it.

[americangeiko]

Hello! I have been lurking around here for the last couple of weeks and I think I have a serious case of OCD! I am obsessed with this forum, watching and waiting for someone to hear something!:surfweb:

Anyway, I just received an email thanking me for interviewing. It said that I was moving on and that a leader would me contacting me directly to set up an interview. Has anyone else received this email? It gave me some hope that I could actually get a 2nd interview. :cheer2:

I got one rejection slip for a position, and then I got a letter like that for another. So it's a 1 out of 2, with the 3rd in limbo I guess?

[MegaraRocks!]

Good Luck with the third one! I am not lookin foward to applying and then WAITING!!!

[Ellagirl]

I was just curious if anyone knew if they always perform a second interview? Is there ever a time where they just hire without a second interview?

[MegaraRocks!]

I was just curious if anyone knew if they always perform a second interview? Is there ever a time where they just hire without a second interview?


There are so many diffrent departments and everyones resume and experience differs so everyones hiring experience will be diffrent. SO yes it is definatly possible that you could get hired without a second interview. It is highly unlikley because your first interview is just general and your second is with the actual manager that hires you, but it is DEFINATLY possible!

[CFL]

Has anyone actually called up casting to ask about the status of their application? I keep telling myself I am just going to call and double check that I am still in the running but then I worry it is a big no-no. Recently I have been really anxious about it because my currently leaders at Disney know I applied recently have been making it sound like I will defiantly get it management internship but I know they don't have anything to do with hiring or any knowledge about my application. At this point it is really going to be a let down if I don't get it.

[Berlioz70]

I was just curious if anyone knew if they always perform a second interview? Is there ever a time where they just hire without a second interview?

I know of people who were hired without the screening interview - the department just directly contacted them for the "second" interview. However, I would find it hard to believe if someone was hired without first being interviewed by the department.

On the same note, however, a person is not guaranteed the second interview - so even if you were told that you were moving forward, the department may look at your resume and decide not to interview and pull that job from your workbench.

Last, but not least, more than one department may choose to hire you - but that's really rare. Some talk to each other, while others do not. If they talk then you'll only get one offer - but if they don't talk then you may get more. Technically, all offers should come through the PI office in casting.

My neighbor never had a 1st screening interview... he didnt even apply! But they called him to see if he would be interested in a specific internship and he took it.

[DisneyScrappingMom]

Oh yeah! I forgot that you never had a second and that they just called you out of nowhere to offer you the job!!! That's amazing for you!!!

And a follow-up: when you post your resume on disneycareers.com you open yourself up to the opportunity to be contacted by ANYONE - even non-PIs... so you very well can be contacted by a variety of departments that you may have never applied for!

I totally forgot about this board.. so glad I found it again! =)

I applied for Cast Special Events and College & Int'l Program Event Planning and the latter is the one I reallllly want. I had my second interview for it Sept. 19 and just mailed all my paperwork in. Now I'm just playing the waiting game.. everything is still on my workbench so that's a good sign, right?

[fmrcp06]

Hey all,

Waiting for this second call back is taking its toll! I wish they would just call - I've started to look at other options in case this falls through. Also, with the economy in the tank, i'm not so sure what job security there will be if we do in fact get jobs.

[i3reakMeAgain]

I just got my rejection email :guilty:

[figment82]

Wow that was really early! But it's only for the one position, right? Maybe the other one is still available? Or, you could always apply for another one...the deadline isn't up until Friday so you are lucky enough to have time!

[Ellagirl]

I just got my rejection email :guilty:

im so sorry! Was the email for just one or both? Maybe you should do what figment82 said and try to apply for another one that you are internested in! It couldnt hurt!

[jeff318]

I had a second interview for a Professional Internship this morning, and the people I spoke to said that they would be making the hiring decision after they completed just a few more interviews, and that I may hear as soon as next week. Fingers crossed!
