Professional Internship Spring 2012

[dkim29]

He asked me how I keep myself organized when I have more than 1 task to do, to decribe the role of a food and beverage manager, asked me to name a time when I either provided excellent service or received it, stuff like that. I unfortunately didn't get it, he told me my passion for disney and my professionalism show I just need more management experience. So I will work on that and apply again next semester! Still waiting to hear from Park Ops though.

HEy!

I just scheduled my 2nd interview for Food and Beverage management! I'm pretty nervous about it. Is there any other advice you can give me for the interview? Also, who's the interviewer? Are they recruiters or actual managers? And lastly, where was your interview?

To get a leg up on the marine mammal position, start volunteering at your local zoo or aquarium.

Good luck!

Roxyorca- I just wanted to let you know that I took your advice, and today I filled out an application in order to volunteer at the Georgia Aquarium! Thank you so much!

Just thought you might want to know that your advice online had real-life consequences! I'm super excited! I should hear back in a week to set up an orientation!

YAY! I'm so happy for you! You'll love volunteering and the wonderful experiences that you will have. Its a great place to network with professionals and get your foot in the door.

You know something funny, I'm a volunteer with the Georgia Aquarium! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask and maybe I'll see you around some time!

Hey guys!

So its been like 2 weeks since my phone interview for the finance/accounting PI, and I just want to know if i got in! I'm so not a patient person. December is so far away.

Has anyone heard back from finance/acct yet?
I was also wondering what location most f/a PIs work. Is it only an office setting? Are there finance people in the parks at all?
Hope you guys have an awesome halloween!!!

Hey! I also applied to finance and accounting!! I haven't heard back either and I also had my second interview couple of weeks ago!! I'm so nervous I want to know as well!! I heard that if you work with Finance and Accounting, you would be placed at Team Disney, but it depends i think. Good luck to you too!!

I had my second interview with Disney on Thursday for the Art & Design Creative Internship. It went very well so now it's just a waiting game. I would be in complete shock if they chose someone else.

Questions I was asked:

Why do you want to work for Disney?
What character do you most identify with?
What do you expect you will be doing in this position?
If you could have any job in the world, what would you want it to be?
How do you handle working on multiple projects?
How do you build trust?
What project that you created are you most proud of?
Also a lot of questions regarding working on a team.

Hopefully me posting will help others in their interview! Good luck.

I'm loving the CE Presenter bonding already haha. Other intern groups are going to be sick of us.

Thanks Lauren, I look forward to meeting you too!!!

Congratulations, Arielle! I look forward to meeting you in January. =)

Like Arielle, I too have been reading and not posting.

I was just accepted as a Conservation Education Presenter for Spring 2012. I wanted to send a quick hello to you all and a congratulations! Can't wait to meet everyone.

I'm sorry I haven't been on here since I got rejected for them lol. I had my interview over the phone with Dave Kesting director of mk food and beverage, and Jamie Entwistle area director of Cinderella's royal table. The only advice I can give you is to showcase your management experience and to go into detail about the role of a F&B manager. Hopefully you didn't have yours yet I'm sorry I didn't get back to you! Good Luck!

Hello! I applied for a retail management PI and I made it all the way to the final round with great feedback from the round before that, however I saw that on the dashboard it says No Longer In Consideration. I accepted the rejection and moved on from it.....until today, where I saw someone say that there was a glitch in the system and your final decision comes in the form of an email and I was even told by my interviewers that I should hear a response in about three weeks and even thought it was strange to get a response two business days after my interview, but still accepted the rejection none the less.

I am just wondering if anyone who applied for the retail management PI is in the same position as myself, or if anyone has gotten accepted for that specific PI, or any response via email?

I believe all acceptances are delivered by phone call. You will get an e-mail if you are no longer being considered for the role -- at least that's how the old website worked, not sure about the new one since you can actually check the progress now.

Hi everyone! I haven't used this board in a really long time and didn't even realize they had a section for Spring 2012 internships! I've been accepted into the F&B Management Internship.

I'm excited to go and can't wait to meet everyone . And if anyone is looking for a roommate let me know! I've been looking around and so far Cane Island apartments look very good. They're furnished and internet and cable is included in the price!


Also I don't know if anyone's mentioned, but there's also a Facebook group for this season! It's just called Disney Professional Internship - Spring 2012

Good luck everyone!

I just got my "You are no longer in consideration" email about Entertainment Management today. I'm in the final round of interviews for a different PI, and as cool as it would be I wasn't really expecting to get the management one, so I'm not too disappointed. Are you still in the running?? Best of luck to you!!

Also, on a totally random tangent, after class this morning I totally want "Healthabration" to exist.
