Professional Internship Spring 2012

[Soarin08]

Man. Today was a Disney-filled day for me (and it's not even noon yet)! I had my Alumni screening interview scheduled for 10:15, and I've been accepted into the cp again! Here's hoping everyone else hears good news as well

Congrats! What's your CP role??

I got a CP email this morning and yet again had a mini heart attack... this is driving me nuts. Would they have sent out an email by now if they weren't interested in pursuing hiring you?

Has anyone applied for Magic Kingdom or Downtown Disney project support? If so what is your background in?

I did. Background as in what's my major? Psychology. I know those were listed under the Disney CP Alumni PIs and they didn't list a specific major needed so I'm not sure it matters all that much.

This thread makes me nervous, but I won't be sad if I don't get a PI just yet. I only just finished my sophomore year so I have plenty of time to apply over and over again. I just did the smart thing and started the process now so I know what to expect and do later. Smart.

I got accepted for Recreation : ) I'm a recreation & leisure studies major (with an emphasis in travel, hospitality, & event planning), so I have a good bit of experience, but am a little unsure of what to expect. I've read a couple of things on here, but its more of an obscure role than something like attractions or merchandise. I did fsfb last year and I thought that was an uncommon role!

I'm really hoping to hear back about pi's soon though so I can make a decision! I don't think not hearing back is a bad sign. Disney has such an unusual hiring process... haha I love all the people trying to figure out a formula or a surefire way of predicting... "they ONLY accept on Fridays" or "you'll hear in 16.5 days." I hope you get accepted soon (for both your cp and pi's!). No more fake out e-mails!

I applied for the Alumni only section yesterday and I already got selected to take part in a phone screening! the only problem so far is that the link they gave me didn't work. So I emailed them letting them know about the problem. I really want to do College Program Recruiting Coordinator, CP Housing Yield, or Guest Relations! I can't wait to see what happens!

Hi, I am Helen and I applied for the Alum-Only PI. I am having an screening interview later this week and was wondering if anyone has the PDF file for all the roles, and kind enough to e-mail it to me at helenishin@gmail.com? I was not smart enough to download it before they took the job posting down and I called the PI office and the lady said there is no way I can view it until the next season

Any help would be great! Thank you again in advance!!

Can I ask what semester you are applying for? Is it January 2012? And does anyone know when the applications will be out for the June 2012 PI?
TIA

June 2012 PI apps should open in February or March 2012.

Has anyone applied for Magic Kingdom or Downtown Disney project support? If so what is your background in?

Hey LittleMissGiggles89 I applied for this one because reading the description it sounded like a project management type role. My degree is in Engineering and I minored in Management and I have some operations based internships under my belt. Not exactly sure what they are looking for but if my assumptions are right I feel like this would put me in a good position to network with both operations and engineering (and imagineering!).

One to my question... I have my panel interview for engineering on Thursday and I was hoping someone could give me the 411 on the types of questions they ask! I'm both excited and nervous!

Right now I'm hoping to get a PI for Management in Park Operations or in Engineering. I've applied for others but those two are really the ones I'm hoping for extra pixie dust on!

Good luck everyone!

Has anyone done an interview for conservation education the seas and conservation presenter? I have an interview next Tuesday and they are my top two choices! Any advice or questions they asked would be beyond helpful! Thanks and send some pixie dust my way please!

 

[TrueLovesKiss]

Does anyone know much about the youth events internship? I have my screening interview next week and was curious as to how many interns they take. So excited!

 

[Ashzx89]

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Disney Internships and Programs Education Management Internships?

This whole process of waiting to find out is such a roller coaster!

 

[Wicket912]

I got a call from AK today to set up a panel interview for Retail Management.

Congrats!!! That is awesome! Let's hope that Tinkerbell keeps spreading the pixie dust around. And some wand work from Fairy Godmother wouldn't hurt either!

Ok good! I was an interior design major and my guess is that if you do Magic Kingdom or Downtown Disney Project support you would most likely be working on the Fantasyland expansion or Hyperion Wharf. They didn't really specify exactly what you'd be working on and I've seen such a variety of majors applying for those roles I'm trying to figure out what exactly it might consist of.

Got a phone call for a 2nd interview for food and beverage management =) we are playing a game of phone tag at the moment haha I was at work when she called and she was out of her office when I returned her call, but I will try again tomorrow morning

How exciting!!! Good luck! I hope I start getting calls this week too to set up interviews.

I'm still waiting for a second interview. All this waiting is killing me. lol. I'm jealous that you got a call back from Food and Beverage!! I applied for that too! haha. Good Luck!

Hey Everyone! I've been lurking for a while now. But i figured i'd jump into the forum and say hi! Had my interview for the PI on Oct 14th. I'm anxiously waiting for a response. I applied for the Magic Kingdom Project Support Downtown Disney Project Support, Park Events Operations Assistant and Disney Reservation Center Project Support. I've done similar internships in the past so I'm excited about the opportunity to get any one of the following.

After doing a little research I was extremely prepared for my interview. They called me a little late, but I expected that. It was very fast (about 10-15 minutes), and I believe that's mostly because I anticipated the questions and already had responses written down with examples of why I fit the profile. They asked a lot of behavioral interview questions (name a time when...). They also ask you to describe yourself (aka talk about your resume), what positions you're interested in and why you specifically think that position fits you.

If I could have added anything it would have been reiterating my experience, work ethics and why I want to work for the company.

Now i'm just waiting! It's a bit nerve wrecking but I'm very optomistic. Hope everyone else does well!
