January 2009 PI Applicants

[jeff318]

I recieved an email last thrusday night to schedule an interview for tomorrow afternoon. I emailed them back an hour later on thrusday night but I still have not recieved an email back. Should i try to email them again or call? I dont want to be pushy but i want to make sure that they got it.

I would send them an email - maybe even blame it on technical problems. "My school's email system has been acting up, so I wanted to make sure that you received my previous message." is a convenient excuse.

There's nothing wrong with sending a repeat email to make certain that someone got your previous information. I'm so used to having to double/triple email/call people with the work that I do, it's second nature.

I just got a call from Tracy at Travel Industry Marketing. I had an interview today at 1 PM but she said she had bad news and that they got a message last night saying that they had to put the internship position on permanent hold. My interview was canceled.

Well I guess that takes me out of the running on this one too, this is depressing.

How was the interview?? did they say how many they are hiring??

The interview went well i think, they didnt say how many they were hiring but i think they said they were still calling people so dont loose hope!

I think you'd be surprised how many people get hired for some positions. While that doesn't mean that there'll be 100 openings, there isn't a whole lot of PIs that are 'highlander-style', aka 'there can be only one.'

MK Special Events is one of those hard ones to get and they only have 1 intern But don't give up hope! Even if you don't get the one you "want" a better fit could be right around the corner!! Good luck!

Has anyone been offered a Professional Internship yet?

I am reading how some are being cancelled which is not a good sign. I am willing to move across the country for six months to do this. Because there isn't much around here I would consider a "quality" internship.

There definitely have been some offers - I have heard of a couple who have been offered Guest Relations roles, and I was offered an internship in the Global CMR Marketing team.

what are you doing for housing?

I've put in the drawing for Northbridge, since that seems to be the easiest option... but I'll be looking at some places when I visit in a few weeks.

 

[Ellagirl]

So i wa just thinking about this the other day and was curious... if they offer you a position how long do they give you to decide on it? Also say you had more then one second interview and casting calls and offers you a position but you still want to wait to hear from the other job, can you ask them to wait your you just have to make your decision right then and there.
Thanks!
