Fall 2010 Professional Internships

[Berlioz70]

This is not specific to catering and F&B management... but during my season about 6,000 people applied and about 400 of us were offered PIs. So all around PIs are hard to get.

Yikes! That really sucks, why on earth would they list it if they had no intention of filling the position? I've had some concerns about the PI's since I had been hearing talk that they weren't going to have as many positions as they had in the past.

On other news I was talking to a girl at my school who just had her interview on Wednesday, and her interviewer told her this was the last week of first interviews and then it would go to hiring or something like that. I'm hoping for some news soon because this wait is unbearable!

What interview did she have? A screening interview or a management related one (2nd interview)?

I know she's going for 3 different internships, so they may have happened during just one interview. But she did say that it was her first interview.

I got the rejection letter for the Lodging MI, but that's okay cause it would have been a miracle to be pushed along in that one.

Still waiting on Theme Park Operations MI...

Have other MI candidates had 2nd interviews yet?

I was just contacted for the second round interview for the Lodging MI. Nothing for the other ones yet. Hopefully calls start rolling in for the other stuff too!

Congrats! Keep us posted!

[sneekypeeks]

Thanks

Congratulations, that's awesome! Good luck with the interview.

Today marks the one month mark since my initial interview.... It's amazing how I barely survived two weeks of waiting when I was applying for my CP!

KnightFarms,
Did you get this letter through email or through real mail?

Sneekypeeks, congrats. When was your screening interview again?

 

[sneekypeeks]

Screening was on 2/10 I believe.

 

[ptheiss]

Hello I'm new to the boards and have applied to several PI's and had the initial phone interview. Just a question to everyone, when did the MI's go up and when were they taken off the disney career website or were they at a different place since I am a management major?

thanks and good luck to everyone

 

[sneekypeeks]

They were put up pretty early, Januaryish I believe. They were taken down on February 28th (ish).

I "think" the management panel interviews will be starting around 3/25...

 

[ptheiss]

ok thanks. Maybe I can call and get them to consider me for one of them since it would be in line with my major and I have worked for them before.
thanks!

I'm not sure they would do this, since they were open for about a month and they were actually taken down early because so many people applied (at least that's what I've heard the reason was, it may or may not be true.)

I just noticed you already had a screening interview, I guess you might be able to ask, but I would doubt it.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'll be sending pixies your direction!

congrats sneaky peek!

so I called the internship hotline and asked if AI could be considered for a management position and I got a maybe since I have worked for disney before and I am getting my MBA in business management. We will see how this works out. Has anyone heard anything about their internships? any offers?

 

[dopeyrunner]

Ok so had the screening interview for both the ill fated recreation MI and earmarked/aaa PI and haven't heard anything back about second interviews. But I also haven't recieved an email that says I am no longer a canadiate.
Anyways, has anyone started doing second interviews?

I'd be interested to hear what happens with this. Since I have worked for Disney twice before and have my BA in Management and have held a management position with progressing responsibility since July 2008.

I would certainly speed up my search for a fine MBA program.
