Fall 2010 Professional Internships

[gocanes881]

So just to recap what did everyone apply for? Or if you have been accepted, what position are you?


I am a Conservation Education Presenter at DAK.

I applied for the Finance/Accounting PI. I had my screening interview March 19 and my final interview March 24. At first they told me they would make a decision and notify us by the first week of April. Since I haven't heard anything I recently called to check the status of my application. Now they're saying it can take as long as May 1.

I applied for Labor Ops Cast Deployment, Reporting, and System Sustainment. I had my screening interview and now I'm just waiting to hear back.

I have a quick question.. So I had the 1st phone screening interview in Early April for Fall 2010 WDW Professional Internship, and they told me the same thing about waiting till May 1st latest (thats latest by when they make their decisions) So, does this mean they will make their decisions about 2nd round interview candidates by 1st May, 2010 latest or is hiring process altogether completed by then????

Also, how did it work for the ones who have got offers?? How many interviews did you go through? Was it all phone based?? It would be awesome if you could give some information on this..

Thanks so much!!!

I'm wondering the same thing. Can you be accepted without a 2nd interview?

I just got a call for a 2nd interview (literally minutes ago)...I'm super nervous/excited.
Wish me luck!

After submitting my application, I got an email saying i was a strong candidate, then I got an email asking some routine questions like do you have a car, do you have proof of your ability to work in the US... then i got an email with lists of different times for a phone interview. Then after the phone interview i got another email asking to set up a 15 minute time to talk with them.... and that last phone call was when they offered me the job.

But this is just how the Animal Program works, they way the department communicates with you totally depends on the department.

Goodluck, and I hope you all hear back soon!

I am a Conservation Education Presenter at DAK.

I applied for the Information Technology internship - I had a screening interview, but haven't heard anything about a second interview yet.

 

[Jaybe08]

Good luck! When is it?

Thanks. It's on Wednesday (tomorrow) at 3pm. I'm really nervous, but excited. I hope that I do okay. I'm not sure how intense the interview will be.

I just hope I get it, so I can plan for housing, what to bring, and things like that. lol.

This wait is seriously really intense for me. The week is half over, which only leaves two weeks left in April. I want to know!

It seems like mostly everyone has heard something since their screening interviews and have been offered/accepted. Even those who applied on the March 26 deadline. I applied Feb 24 and had my screening interview March 3. I'm rather concerned now . Should I be ? Has anyone heard from their Alumni Only applications?

I haven't really seen anyone who has heard anything about the Alumni Only applications (at least the majority of them)

No problem! I might be wrong, but I know there were a lot of different AO's and while I don't remember exactly which were AO and which weren't, I know several people who applied for a bunch of different ones and heard nothing.

I applied for Guest Relations. If I could form into words just how bad I want it, I would!
