The Official 2013 Fall Professional Internship Thread!

[tggrbuny]

My DH is 35 & doing the internship. Not sure what you classify as older but he's one of the oldest interns he's come across.

I am an intern and I am almost 50. My work experience was a factor in the postion that I got.

Whoops I think I posted in the wrong thread.

I am a sophomore (with junior standing) at Virginia Tech majoring in Industrial and Systems Engineering.

I just received a fall 2013 PI as a costuming/entertainment analyst intern. I am still reading through the thread to see if other people have accepted their positions yet. Has anyone else had this internship in the past or in the fall with me?

Can't wait for this amazing experience!!

I have the alumni only interview tomorrow ahhhhhhhhh I hope I won't be as nervous because I'm going back for a CP anyway so this can just be like practice because I don't have much experience.

My alumni only was very similar to the CP one. They ask you the general type questions and then ask for your top 3 roles. They might ask some questions for specific positions then. Don't be nervous and just give it your all and who knows you could get an offer!

For non-alumi PIs, is anyone still in the Submission phase? I applied for 3 PIs on 2/27 and 2/28, got NLIC'd from the one in about a week, but the other two haven't moved at all. I keep seeing people getting screening interviews, so I'm just wondering if I'm sunk already. Thanks!

I applied for 2 PIs, one on the 18th and the other on the 21st. Neither have moved an inch (the one for the 21st stopped taking applications on the 28th). So Im a little nervous that I haven't received anything about an interview... but I guess at least I wasn't NLICed yet? Heres wishing us luck XD

My non-alumni ones are in progress. I had my screening interview just a few days after applying. But I applied early on so they may not of had the same volume of applications as they likely have had in the past few weeks.

My son applied for 2 non-alumni PIs. One summer, one fall. Both in engineering. Not sure when he applied. It's definitely been awhile. He's in progress for both. No interviews whatsoever. And he's checking email, spam and his dash daily! He was stuck in "interview stage" for a couple of months in the fall of 2012 for this spring and he never received any kind of interview. Then on the very last day to notify people he went NLIC. Very frustrating for him. We're hoping this time will be different. Good luck to you!

I don't think it's too weird. Applications just closed and things are starting to move along now, but some programs don't do screening interviews at all. So it may depend on what you applied for!

 

[touchthesky]

Thanks everyone! Good luck to all of you too!

I have 2 still in submission at this point and I had a screen interview on March 1st. Though my 2 in submission are non-park jobs so I have heard that they really don't use the dashboard at all so I am not expecting movement on there.

That may explain it. Mine are both with the PR department.

So if they don't use the dashboard, they just call you?

I am guessing that and emails.

Just to let you know I went NLIC for WDW Summer engineering so they are starting to look at that one. I have also heard that a bunch are extending to summer so that is making it a smaller new group.

 

[cindy17]

So sorry u went NLIC. I just texted my son to give him a heads up. That stinks about so many extending! It's just so hard to break into engineering at Disney!
