Sorry your interview didn't go as well as you hoped. But don't think you are out of the running yet! I had a curveball question like that, but there is still hope!

Thanks so much everyone! Hopefully you all start hearing back as well!

And it wasn't really an interview, Rebecca (from the Animal Programs Internship office) called and basically just said:

Hi, I am calling about the Chemistry Internship you recently applied for, I just have a few HR questions to ask you. So I answered them (basics about appearance, possibility of housing, etc. All of which were already asked during my first interview). Then she said well, you know I am calling on behalf of the Chemistry department, we would really like to offer you a position here at Walt Disney World!

So they trick you! You have to wait halfway through the call to find out about the offer! Haha!

I am so excited! Thanks again everyone! I'll be checking back often in hopes of hearing good news from all of you guys!

Just curious - what do you mean by possibility of housing?

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Oh she just explained how they do have housing available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Just got done with my final interview. I thnk it went well but I can't remember one of my interviewers names. Did anyone interview for retail management with a woman from London? She was either Black or Indian. Slim, longish black hair? Thanks!

I got a rejection for the Corporate Tax PI today.

I got a rejection for the Corporate Tax PI today.

I'm sorry I know its not a good feeeling. Did you apply for others?

I'm realizing now that maybe I should withdraw my name for consideration from everything but Guest Relations. I know its possible to stay seasonal in Guest Relations - but I don't think any of the other PIs offer this option. I just found out for sure that I'm starting my MBA in Orlando in January right after the program ends. So I'm thinking since I couldn't stay seasonal and pick up shifts after January as a PI, maybe I should just do the CP (again... but this time not let my seasonal status expire!)

Anyone have any thoughts/info on this? Or on staying seasonal after a PI? Or even getting trained as a seasonal part-time cast member in another role? I really just want to have the option of picking up shifts and staying a cast member after January!

Yes I applied for a few others but have not heard anything for those. I do not think I will apply again with Disney PI's because it seems for the Accounting/Finance positions they seem to hire mostly Master's degree students (from the people I have talked to who have done the PI's) and not many undergrad so I think I will wait in the future.....
