Hi everyone!!! My name is Terin and I actually just set up my first PI interview for this Thursday, Oct. 20th. I am so nervous but after reading a few posts on here, I think I have a much better understanding of the initial interview process..


WISH ME LUCK!!!

My second interview went really well. Got hung up trying to think of a specific time where I provided excellent service only because I was nervous. We skipped it and came back and I had an answer. He said I'll hear something by monday! Everybody send some pixie dust my way!

I wont be applying for the PI until Spring 2013 (I am hoping to do my first CP in Fall of 2012!). But I wanted to wish you all so much luck and positive energy with your applications. I am interested in the Animal programs, specifically the marine mammal one. I am hoping to get SCUBA certified this summer.

Is there any advice you can give me now, a year out, that will make me a better applicant next year? Who is applying for Animal Programs? What sort of questions did they ask in your interview? How does networking work when down on a CP? Anyone I should talk to in particular?

Talk to your leaders and tell them you are interested in a PI they will definitely help you. During the CP they have some networking events set up where you can go and meet with managers in the areas you're interested in. I'm sure they will have someone there from the Animal Programs or at least animal kingdom that can help you! One thing that I can tell you is to make sure you do your best on your CP. A lot of kids take it as a free vacation and don't really do as well as they should. Work hard, have fun and good luck!

Thank you! Do you know if there is any benefit requesting to be in Animal Kingdom or Epot (for The Seas) during my CP? Would that make networking easier? I know it wont be guaranteed, but I was wondering if somehow I did get lucky and get placed there if it would benefit me?

That I'm not sure of, but I bet it couldn't hurt

So I got a call to set up a time where the Director of Magic Kingdom F&B can call me to tell me if I got it or not! Is that a good thing????

Hi all,

I just got accepted as a Conservation Education Presenter! I'm looking forward to getting in touch with other people who will be completing Professional Internships in January. This will be my first time participating in a Disney program, and I'd love a support network as I relocate to Orlando, arrange Disney housing, and figure everything else out!

Hey everyone,
just another anxious person obsessively checking their dashboard and watching their phone lol but I was just wondering because I feel like I haven't seen anyone mention it, is anyone a current CP at the moment and applying for a PI?

I just had my first interview around 4 today... I applied for the Event planning PIs and the Recreation one. I think it went really well! I know most ppl have already had their first & second interviews or even offers but I'm excited

I was a complete bonehead and forgot to ask if there would be another phone interview, she just said I'd hear back in 3-4 weeks. I thought it was just gonna be a simple first interview, but she asked a lot of job related questions so I wonder if it was the big one? It last about 30-40 mins and she was really happy about my answers. ahhhh excited! I hope me interviewing late in the game doesnt hurt my chances though

Hi, Geehaw92! I applied for the internship on September 29th, 2011. I received a generic, mass e-mail asking me for information (such as if I had a car, etc.) on October 7th. On October 9th, I received an e-mail asking me to schedule my first interview, which occurred on October 11th. On October 20th, I received another e-mail, asking me to fill out an application with legal information (such as my citizenship status, my social security number, etc.). Two hours after submitting that information online, I received a phone call and was offered a position. There was no second interview.

I read a bunch of online blogs that past Conservation Education Presenters have posted, and most of them said that if you got a position, you should expect to be contacted within two weeks following your initial interview. That seems to be a trend, although of course by no means a definite indicator of whether or not you have been hired.

I wish you the best, and I am sure you will hear soon! Please let me know if you do get a position!

Hey Llauren! Guess we're on the same team! I got the call as well on the 20th. So excited!!

Congrats to the new presenters!

Other than the Conservation Education Presenters, has anyone else from Animal Programs recieved word about accepting an internship (Marine Mammal, Con. Ed. DAK or Seas, and so on)?

 

[ZenSandwich]

Does anyone know any good blogs from people doing a PI in animal programs? My dream is to do the Marine Mammal one after my CP (if I get accepted), but I really don't know much more about it than what is on the website. I'd really love a first hand account.
