Fall 2010 Professional Internships

[Invisible_ears_82389]

So I had an interview yesterday and should hear by next week. The interview went very well and I was told that I was one of eight people being considered for the position out of hundreds of applicants! That was an ego booster!

At the end of the interview however, the interviewer mentioned in passing that it would be really ideal to have a PI who would be open to extending and doing a full year. I was asked if I would be open to that. I said unfortunately most likely not - but explained that it was because I was going to pursue my MBA at Rollins. We had a good chat about that too.

All in all, I think theres a good chance they'll end up going with someone who has more open-ended plans for after January. But who knows! They said I will hear from them by the end of next week. They said they MAY select a couple of people to go into another round of interviews out of the eight of us OR they may just decide based on this round.

Either way the interview went great, I'm glad to have made it this far in the process, and regardless of the outcome I made a GREAT contact at Disney.

By the way the interview was over webcam via Skype. It was actually pretty cool!

I've heard a couple of people have gotten offers for the Finance/Accounting PI's but I'm still waiting to hear back.

I'm new to this board and was wondering if anyone else is still waiting for Fin/Acc.

I had my second interview last thur. and got a call today with an offer
So excited to start June 17th.

Which IT internship? I applied for one that I think was just called Information Technology, but when I talked to the screener, he said that one had been filled already and I'd only be considered for the other one I applied for. I'm not sure if it's the same one or not though. I hope you hear something soon!

Here is a clip from the email I received when I applied - is this the one?

Congrats! Which position did you get?

I had my second interview (well, third really...Disney came to my campus but that was more of a meet and greet) last Wednesday and I'm still waiting to hear back. I was told only about 50 applicants made that 2nd round and they were going to choose 20-25 interns. I'm getting worried because a few people have been offered this position (a couple on the FB group said they got offered yesterday) but since I have not received a rejection email or anything I'm still holding out hope.

I was told I'd know in a few weeks (offer was 4/22). I had a gap between my CP and my MI (5/15-6/19) and still hadn't heard. I lost my Hub access, but I had someone on the "inside" who told me I was showing at Ft. Wilderness. I was trying to get my brain around all of that (I had been hoping for DAKL) and finally had it settled, I was going to be at the Fort. I checked in on the 19th and that afternoon, got a call welcoming me to the All Stars! I was and (to be honest) as I have never been a fan. In hindsight, of course, it was where I needed to be.

I found out later that my area manager had done some wheeling and dealing to get me. Funny thing is, my current WDW job history STILL shows that I did my internship at the Fort. In fact, I just told DDs that I probably should go over and have a meet & greet with someone there since they have no clue who I was that whole time...

So...it should show up on the Hub closer to the date, BUT just be aware that changes could happen at any time.

Thanks. I am hoping for DAKL or DAK itself as well. Those would be my dream, followed by Port Orleans, The Studios, Epcot, and The Kingdom being last.

I can set up a meet and greet for ya if ya like!

Was wondering if anyone applied for the Earmarked/AAA PI, I had a screening interview last month but haven't heard anything yet and haven't seen anyone post on here that they had a second interview. I can't remember if it was a alumni only or not but the screener did say I would hear something by May 1st. . This waiting thing is like killing me.

Congratulations to you both!!!

If you wouldn't mind sharing, what is/was your major? I'm hoping to apply for some of the Conservation Education internships for Spring 2011, but I am not in one of the specific majors listed on the PI site for those internships. Just trying to feel out if they're accepting "other related majors" or if they're sticking to biology, conservation, etc. Thanks!

My majors are Wildlife Resources and Pre-Vet.... but they didn't offer those on the application so I just put Biology.

And Goodluck when you apply!
