Fall 2010 Professional Internships

[jess25]

Is that the only one you applied for?

I know...I'm trying to stay positive it's just not easy with all of the waiting and seeing people get accepted. I hope we both get it!!

nope, not the only one. i also applied for a few non-alumni's.

Hey guys, de-lurking from this thread long enough to say that I just got accepted for the Guest Relations PI tonight at 9pm! See you down there DVCboi4lfe

Good luck to everyone who's still waiting!!

I applied for 4 different PI's all related to business or finance since Im getting my MBA and I havent heard a thing from any of them in 2 months. This has got to be the worst hiring process around. They do this twice a year and I would think they have a good idea who has the experience and background to do the job. Im just frustrated.... Im gonna have to take another job because I cant wait anymore

I was offered Guest Relations this evening Had waited over one month with no word at all.. Phone call out of the blue and a big congratulations

You're my inspiration. If it can happen to you, it could happen to me! Here's hoping!

Got offered a PI in Guest Relations at about 10:30 AM!! I'm OVER THE MOON excited!! I accepted of course! Arriving June 17, Departing Jan 3!!! (They changed it from Jan 7 for me, since I'm starting grad school on Jan 4!)

**By the way, I had a final round interview for the Social Media Internship 2 weeks ago. I was supposed to hear by the end of this week on that one. There were 8 people left in the running. I wonder if they'll be notified that I've already accepted GR?

** Also, does anyone know if Guest Relations PIs can go seasonal afterwards? and be seasonal GR CMs?

1) Congrats!

I had my 2nd interview for the Finance/Accounting PI back on March 24 and was told I would know by the first week of April. Well I heard some people got offers last week (and the week before) but I haven't heard anything yet. I guess no news is good news but I'm really starting to get worried.

No second interview. I had my screening for alumni-only PIs on February 5th (forever ago!). Today at 10 AM my phone rings out of the blue with a GR offer

 

[sneekypeeks]

Congratulations to all those getting offers! I can't wait until June 17th!!!!!!!!

hey. is the guest relations PI one of the easy ones to get?

No, it isn't. I think the reason you see a lot of people getting it on the boards is because several of the positions go to active cast members/people who love Disney--many of which are on here.

The hire a handful of people (I've heard between 20-30) for each season, with hundreds (and probably more with the economy) applying for the spots.

It's very competitive!

 

[SillyRabbit]

Woo! I just got a call out of the blue today but for a 2nd interview.. Apparently its one hour long with two separate sets of managers. Exciting =]

Actually, from what I've heard GR is one of the most competitive PIs of the bunch. I think the relative acceptance rate here on the boards isn't really indicative of the actual acceptance rate, which (if I recall correctly) hovers around 20% or so. But that's like, 20 people out of a 100. Or something along those lines.

Does anyone know what the rate just for GR is?

I just talked to a girl who works in Guest Relations. She said her managers said that several hundred people apply for a GR PI and that only about 20-25 people will get it. thats a pretty low acceptince rate :-/

It's a really great internship and people love it. It's got to be one of the most competitive!
