Professional Internship Spring 2012

[Tonya Gaddy]

Does anyone have any insight on how costume materials engineering, engineering, & ride and show engineering internships does their interview process? I have only done what I think is the preliminary interview back in October where they asked me why this, leadership situations, do I agree to the Disney look, etc. Has any engineer intern applicant done many interviews yet, or are they running behind? I have been stuck on interview stage (for at least the costume engineering) for a month. Perhaps this is a sign that I am not qualified enough?

Thanks everyone.

Hi Diane9945,

I am currently an intern with the Disney Institute (DI) and am working toward my Master of Science in Instructional and Performance Technology and have 13 years of Information Technology experience (relocated for husband's job). My fellow intern also has her Master's degree and based on this trend, appears to be a preference for DI. I'm 37, so I'm definitely not one of the younger interns and there are 2 others here in their early 30's in sales operations.

Do you have the contact information of the manager you interviewed with? If so, I would ask what skills they are looking for and you can begin working on improving those skills while waiting for the next application round to begin.

If you have specific questions, feel free to send me a private message.

Thank you for the information. The tips you have given me are appreciated and I will definitely use them to increase my odds of obtaining one of these positions. My dream would be to intern in the DI area, as teaching and instructing is my passion. I will continue to look and apply for openings as I continue my education. Better late than never.

Diane, have you looked into Disney English? They have a program where you go over to China for 12-18 months to teach English. It looks AMAZING and I soooooo wish I could do something like this but it's not the right time for me. Maybe this would fit in with your interests!

I doubt there's a difference, but can anyone tell me if spring or fall is easier to get? I'm sure it depends on the department.

Still waiting on services for guests with disabilities and operations learning and development. NLIC for DI Facilitation Assistant and I heard that people got second interviews for Traditions so I assume I'm out for that as well. I just want to know already!

Ooooh weddings! I'm in the same boat as you, coming from CA to FL! An option for housing is Cumberland Apts. which is full amenities but you have to share with roommates

Got a call this morning and accepted my role as a Public Relations intern with the Group and Convention Youth Events team!

I'm so excited! Yesterday my Communications internship moved from Post-Interview to NLIC, and I was crushed bc that was my previous internship and I would have loved to go back, but this morning bright and early I got a call from a blocked number and nearly died when it turned out to be Casting for the dream role I thought I'd never get.

Congrats to everyone else who has accepted and good luck to those still waiting!

congrats Jamie, viking, and anyone I missed!!

Awesome there are more Cali people on here!

I got called today and offered both of the internships - I think I'm gonna go with Distribution Marketing Events! So excited, I can't wait to see you all in FL!

I was in FL last week and cumberland park is definitely nice, but there's lots of equally nice places around that are the same price for a 2br where you each get your own room. Non-furnished however, so it depends on whether you are planning to bring stuff out.
