The Official 2013 Fall Professional Internship Thread!

[delmar411]

I've applied to a few summer internships for Disney and Disney ABC in NYC. I've noticed that one of them is no longer listed when you search for it in job openings, which probably means they've closed the applications (my status for that is still in "submission." I submitted it at the beginning of March).

It doesn't seem to show the deadlines in the job details (or I'm completely missing it) and I only see the date when the opening was posted, so perhaps it's a little different for these internships as opposed to Disney Park internships.

On your dashboard click edit next to the resume/cv, then click continue, then click job status. It will tell you if it's still open or filled.

Last night, my alumni only broke off into a new tab on my dashboard! Disney Cruise Line Recruitment! Anybody else have this happen?? Also, has anyone heard of more than one alumni only role breaking off? So far, all I've heard is one role being seen as in progress.

Mine broke down to Disney Cruise Line Recruitment as well!

I had my panel interview for Management Lodging Internship. It was between three leaders from various Disney hotels. It was about 20 minutes and went really well. Should hear back from that within two weeks. It was held at the contemporary conference center.

Question, is there a forum or Facebook group for finding roommates for the internships that I am maybe missing?

Here is the PI FB group that a lot of people are on!

The drop down is for tha specific position. It means you made a cut and are being considered. What is your drop down for?

It's for one of the marketing internships

 

[Dustinbrady1215]

I can't answer your question but I have a question regarding getting a dropdown on the dashboard. Is this only for Alumni positions?

Mine is not an alumni position

Thanks so much, that's very helpful I'm still not sure if CLOSED means the applications have simply closed or if it means all positions have been officially filled, so if anyone knows for sure, please let me know.

I think something went terribly wrong with my resume submission. The resume I submitted for a particular internship was deleted, but I still have another resume document defaulted in my Resume/CV section, but in the history, it says it was only submitted to two other internships. The one internship that just closed is the one that probably does not even have my resume. Maybe that is why I've been stuck in the submission stage for such a long time....Does anyone have any solid ideas on what might be the case here?

(Sorry if that was a bit unclear! Hope it makes sense)

Closed would indicated filled. Mine all say open and they are not filled yet.

I'm not really sure how a submission is handled when the resume gets deleted.

I've had this same problem and was worried too. So I emailed the PI email address to ask about it and was told that as long as you have a resume uploaded to your profile, all of the hiring managers can see it!

Wow, that's fantastic - I'm so glad to hear that it'll be okay. Thank you very, very much!!!

Thank you!

I would think my application status should then be NLIC'd but it's still in "submission." Lots of people say they get stuck in the interview phase, but seems like I'm just stuck in "submission"! I wonder why...

Got NLIC'd for Undergraduate Intern, Marketing/Accounting, Year Round Only have Undergraduate Intern, 2013 Summer Internship, Walt Disney Studios still in progress as well as a job for ABC Studios (Archives Coordinator) in progress.

I will not give up my dream! lol

Had my interview with Animals, Science, and Environment department today. I think it went pretty darn well. The fences backstage at AKL made me feel like I was in Jurassic Park.

Congrats on the interview. What's gonna happen to the goat?

My second interview for my PI is tomorrow. I'm beyond excited. I want this thing so bad!

 

[jewjubean]

Hey everyone... I have a full size ikea Leirvik frame that I bought during my PI/CP that I am going to sell if anyone is interested. Great condition! Let me know! Would be perfect for a new PI that has a limited budget!

Anyone know about how competitive the Alumni only PIs are?

Obviously not as competitive as the MIs, but just wondering. Today I set up my second interview for an Alumni PI. I always feel more confident when I feel like competition is manageable. Obviously it won't be minimal, but manageable adds confidence.

depends on which PI you are talking about. Which one are you concerned about?

I mean I think they are just as competitive. Especially since they have fewer spots and some go off just one interview. Which one are you second interviewing for??

Hello everyone. Congratulations to those who have already accepted roles, and to those who are seeing substantial movement.
Has anyone had additional interviews, or received a drop-down for any of these WDW positions?
-New Technology Analyst (IP)
-Disney Institute Technology Assistant (IP)
-Content Management (IP)
-Business Associate Production (Submission)
-Alumni Only (IP): Ticketing Projects & Admin, Reservation Center Project Support, or Park Event Operations

Based on the resources of the Facebook group, it looks like there's been some movement for those Alumni positions, but haven't seen any mention of the other 4. Should I be concerned that I haven't seen anything? Is "no news" still "good news" this late in the process?

Thanks in advance for any feedback, and best of luck to everyone who is still waiting!

Any other potential zoology interns out there? I only applied to marine biology/aquarium at The Living Seas. I just submitted background check paperwork, fingers crossed for the position!

Good luck to you all.
