Professional Internships Interview Questions?

[flea1267]

For those who have done Professional Intership interviews...what sorts of questions do they ask? DD has an interview on Sunday morning...we'd love and appreciate any advise any fellow DISers are willing to share. Thanks so much!!!

If it matters she's a CP Alumni and she's also still a Seasonal CM.

Wish I could help but the manager of my program said that he will probably get my application sometime next week, so my interview wouldnt be for another week or so

just thought I'd share with a response I got from another thread:

she asked me a lot of questions about why i wanted the jobs that i selected... she asked me what i would do if i had a guest in front of me, the phone was ringing, and i had a task to do who would grab my attention first... and she asked me what my greatest accomplishment over the last year has been... that was a tough one

it was from just the initial interview but it might help some.

Good Luck to you both!

I interviewed for an Entertainment Management PI in september, unfortunately didn't get it

But they asked about why I wanted that particular internship, what skills I could bring to that job, a bunch about guest interactions/how I would deal with certain guest situations, if I've ever had to work with groups of people from different backgrounds/jobs (ie, if I could get along with both entertainment cms and ops cms for a theatre attraction or entertainment and restaurants for character dining, and how I would make sure everything works smoothly between the two), what qualities should a manager possess...

there's probably some others, but thats basically the jist.

Thanks for the response. I see you are still a PT CM? Do you still live in Orlando?

yep, I moved here after my program ended at the beginning of January. I graduated in May, and still don't really have a clue what I want to do, so I went seasonal, and then a few weeks later, got part-time!
