[ryangraphics]

Dear Laurie*,
Thank you for applying for a Disney Professional Internship.

At this time, the Disney Professional Internship that you have applied for requires prior participation in the Disney College Program.

We offer other Disney Professional Internships that do not require prior participation in the Disney College Program. You can search for other internships in your area of interest at disneyinterns.com and look under qualifications to find out if a position requires prior participation in the Disney College Program. If no positions appear once you perform your search, they have unfortunately all been filled at this time. But please check back on the Web site to see when we'll be posting new positions.

You also may consider applying for the Disney College Program at disneycollegeprogram.com. Participants learn transferable skills in a variety of roles and can take courses that may earn them college credit. The program's unique combination of living, learning and earning can stand out on your résumé. Upon completion of the Disney College Program, you would then be eligible to apply for Disney Professional Internships for program alumni.

We also encourage you to search the other opportunities that may be available to you with Disney at disneycareers.com. Learn more about roles at the Disneyland® Resort and the Walt Disney World® Resort, and also other areas of our company with Adventures by Disney and Disney Cruise Line®.

Again, thank you so much for applying and good luck with your future endeavors!

So I did my second/third/whatever-you-want-to-call-it interview with retail management this morning. I had this strange feeling the past few days that one of my interviewers would be my old DAK GSM who is now an Area Manager @ Studios....I was almost right, I answer the phone"hello"..."Hi is this ReAnne" and I'm thinking I know that voice....it was my old Area manager from DAK. Small world I guess. Interview went well, I hate that I have to wait 2-3 weeks for an answer.

Which leads me to my next question. I am interested in doing an overseas seminar for my international economic credits, which would have me departing for London May 19th. Does the PI allow for school-related early releases? I think that was a stupid question, and I think I already know the answer lol But does anyone have experience with this? I just need to make a deposit, and I'd rather not wait 3 weeks to find out if I got the job.

Oh and one more thing. Has anyone heard from Ops Mgmt?

As always, to everyone Bonne Chance

Sounds like your interview went well - good luck

I am pretty sure they don't allow for school-related early releases for PIs. I think you need to make the full 6 month commitment.

As far as Ops...some offers for Ops have been extended - one of my good friends got an Ops MI offer earlier this week.

when they say that your resume is being passed on does that mean they print it out and give the departments a piece of paper or do the area managers look on disney careers for our resumes and cover letter.

the only reason i ask is because i just updated some information on my resume and was wondering if they would see it

I just had my second interview! I think it went really well, but the two ladies that I interviewed with did not give me much feedback at all!

Now starts the waiting game all over again!

They said I would hear from casting sometime within the next 2 weeks or so.

I was offered the role of Guest Relations at Magic Kingdom! I'm very excited- its my dream job!

Congrats, this is the PI I want to go for after I graduate!

Would you be able to keep me posted during the PI and let me know how its going? I'm a supervisor in a Guest Relations now, so I'm really excited to know what it's like in Disney!

I am not sure now since the application deadline ad closed if they will see your new resume off of disneycareers or not but I updated my resume after my first interview but before the application deadline and they had copies of my updated resume during my second interviews. You could always just bring a hard copy to an interview with you, that was what I was going to do but overslept and forgot it.

Tell me about it. I've applied for 4, got bumped from 1, and haven't heard back for the the 3 others I applied for.

Of which, I've only heard of 1 other person who applied for stage tech, and 1 other person who applied for production assistant. And I haven't met anyone yet who applied for costuming.

Thanks!!

Maybe we can trade screen names? Send me a PM! Can't wait to hear from you!

 

[hokiehi]

congrats to everyone hearing back, and getting offers...

I'm guessing a lot of mine are still waiting to get back for interviews...
For some of you in the same boat, I had a 2nd interview with Youth Market Sales Internship, still waiting to hear back from Special Programs Marketing Internship, Event Assistant MK Internship, Management Internship-Recreation, Marketing Strategy Professional Internship, and Management Internship - Sports Complex

We all still have a month before the "deadline" to hear from them on Nov. 28th, so still plenty of time for all of us who haven't heard back on some interviews.

Good luck everyone, I'll be waiting patiently like most of you! haha

 

[Mallory Lu]

Well its officially the last week in October!
Good luck to those of you who were told their department makes decisions by the end of this month!
I'm waiting patiently (ok, maybe not so patiently) to hear from Fairytale Weddings this week...
One way or the other I just want to know!

I had a first interview with Special Programs Marketing but have not heard anything since. But I haven't heard anyone else talk about it either so hopefully they are just very behind.

 

[arfischer]

Anyone else have an interview this week for Travel Industry Marketing Measurements? I am wondering if they told you how many interns they are picking.
