No offers - but I had an interview yesterday!

 

[CFL]

I was wondering for those who had interviews if it was a very structured interview, like they read questions off of a paper, or if it was more 'informal'. I know I can do either but I just like to have some clue what I am getting into.

I had a panel interview - they had a prepared set of questions and just went down the line for each to ask me a question... then it started over. They had it worked down to a pretty precise procedure.

I am still at the starting blocks... no calls, no emails, and no interviews as of today. But all of the internships I applied for are still on my workbench, so I do not know what the deal is. They could'nt be that backed up could they?

Last year I did not hear ANYTHING from ANYONE until the first week of November...and I still ended up getting an offer. All departments/managers do this process differently.
I don't know if that gives those of you in that situation hope, or if it stresses you out even more to know you might have to wait that long...

This year I had my first interview in August and a second interview a couple weeks ago with Fairytale Weddings and am still waiting to hear anything from the costuming department.

waiting...waiting...waiting...just like most of us here!

Any updates from those interviewing for ops management? Did they say if they will be conducting any more interviews? I had a great first round interview last week, was told I was moving on, got a email this week saying again I was moving on but now calls for a second interview.

 

[havie35]

Thanks a lot Mallory, you just made it even worse! haha jk, but not really lol... did you call at all to check out what was going on before they contacted you in November?

Hey there,

I know from the facebook group that practically everyone that applied to ops mgmt.. including myself... is still waiting to get a call for the second interview!... so hang tight!

lol oops!
No, I did not contact anyone. After about October I honestly just gave up and tried to forget about it. At the time I did not know too much about the program and had never done a CP, so I just got over it lol. Until one random day in November some one called me from the florist and completely surprised me! So then I got excited again about something I had totally removed from my options, and of course, now that I was antsy, it took them until the very end of November to give me an offer!

I have heard of other people, this year and last, calling casting or emailing the generic intern email address to "check the status of their application" and most of them got responses of "your application is still being reviewed."

So it cannot hurt to contact them, I don't think the department you applied to will ever know about it, so I don't see how it could make you look bad or anything!

I think there were some Ops Management Interviews today. Perhaps they get all of the in-person ones out of the way first and then start with the phone interviews?

Aw you're making me nervous. I applied for Marine Mammal, Marine Bio, and Conservation Ed.

I only had an interview with Conservation Ed. I really want Marine Bio though....crossing fingers. I'm pretty sure I would do anything for that opportunity.

Conservation Ed at Seven Seas is only looking for 2 people.

My interview went great! They said they have a few more interviews next week and then need about a week or 2 to organize and that I would hear good news at the end of the month.

I had mine today!

This just makes me more nervous. I set up an interview with cp for tonight and I just don't want to find out too soon from cp if by some magical reason I get a pi. Did you apply only for the non CP roles?

Dont be nervous. Accept the CP if its offered. They do not frown upon saying no to a CP for a higher position within the company. Thats what I did

And yes I applied for non-CP roles. If you apply for a CP role without a CP you will get an email in a VERY short amount of time saying that you are not qualified
