Mine is Linda, too! 515 this afternoon...I'm a nervous wreck! (I'm a vendor at the Creating Keepsakes Convention this weekend, so I'm having to leave my booth w/ DDs to find a quiet place for the interview)

She called me a little later than 4:30 yesterday, she called around 4:45, just to let you know. The interview doesn't take long about 20- 25 minutes. What internships did you apply for?

That's good to know, thanks! I applied for retail and rooms & related management, product development, DCL internal communications, and DEG training (?) It's a broad range, but I thought I was pretty well qualified for all of them. I have my BA in English and am getting a Master's in management, so I'm hopeful.

 

[graygables]

Woo-hoo! Interview is done and I'm movin' on up! Now is "wait and hope" time...

Is everyone who is applying for PIs a college junior or senior?

I just graduated and didn't get my PIs for the 08 semester.

I was wondering if anyone was trying to apply after they graduated and if it was allowed.

 

[Jana928]

I am a senior. You are allowed to apply for the internships as long as you are enrolled in college when you apply.

Hello everyone! Im new here and see you guys are well in discussion! I applied for Retail, operations, DEG and the Merchandise Presentation Specialist. I received the call and have my first interview this wednesday. Im excited and a little nervous but im sure its nothing I can't handle.

Just for the record, I hope everyone here gets the internship you desire!

I applied for three on aug. 4th and I haven't gotten a call yet.

I applied for management ops, management catering, and convention services associate internship.

 

[fmrcp06]

I wouldn't worry too much about the call. Just hang in there! They have been known to take awhile to contact people - so don't give up hope!

 

[Ace215]

Interview complete!!! Now.....for the wait......Good luck to everyone!!!

 

[fmrcp06]

How were first interviews? What types of questions were asked?

Pretty simple questions, nothing that takes deep thought, although you don't want to give simple, irrelevant answers. Why you want to work for disney, biggest accomplishment, teamwork situation, etc. Just show a lot of interest, enthusiasm, and be your self.

I have decided to apply for a PI again. I tried getting in, in June, but was not offered the position. Hopefully this time will be different.

Disney Scraping Mom - you were applying for June as well right? I think I remember your name.

Has anyone applied for Food & Beverage or Rooms & Related management?

I noticed some of you have already gotten called. How long ago did you apply?

 

[graygables]

Weird thing...I got another phone call yesterday about calling to schedule my first interview (that I already had last Friday...) I called and they were confused, but finally came back on and thanked me for calling and sorting it out. Now I'm a bit nervous that something wasn't handled correctly somewhere along the line. I did receive the application on my workbench and got that filled out and turned in on Sunday. Should I call again just to be sure that everything is correct or would that seem like nagging?

Yeah I applied for the June session, I didn't get offered one so I'm back hoping for the best.

I applied on Aug 1st for the Management PI's.

Anyone who has already had their first interview remember any questions?? I know there are many who have yet to be interviewed so any help on the interview is much appreciated...Im am going for 3 different marketing PIs. I want one sooooo bad lol.

 

[lauraebeth]

wow. i'm feeling a little behind. . .

I've been religiously watching disneycareers for the PI's to be posted and when they were, I was thrilled! I've been waiting three years to be able to apply. . .

here's my background: Fall 2005 CP: MK QSR Stands east @ MK. and i'm currently a campus rep at my university.

I'm applying for Youth Education program facilitator, fairytale weddings, Recreation Manager and possibly services for guests with disabilities. . .

the youth education role is the one I REALLY want, If anyone knows anything about it, i'd LOVE to know. and if all of that fails, i'll do another college program. My boyfriend is applying for a college program for the spring, so it wouldn't be completely horrible to do another.

I applied for a PI on August 14th but haven't received a phone call yet. It scares me that others have already been contacted by phone!! I applied for an Animal Program internship...has anyone else applied for animal programs and receive a phone call??

Thanks for the help!!

Theres nothing to be worried about at this moment, my interviewer told me that I was one of the very first to be interviewed. And its still very early, they wont be picking people until November and 2nd interviews probably wont start until the beginning of october unless leaders rush things. So just hang in there, im sure you time is coming.
