The Official 2013 Fall Professional Internship Thread!

[Wishes Count]

Sorry I missed that. *embarassed*

Anyways, I hope you're right! I also applied for some Graphic Design internships. Do you have an online portfolio? its always cool to see other designer's work! mine is www.chrisgirolamo.com. anyways, also congrats on your concierge placement, I did that during my last CP in 2011 and it was the best thing I've ever done.

I do! I took a look at yours and your work is very different than mine. I'm actually an advertising major, which will become evident when you look at my samples its www.kathrynsheeley.weebly.com And thanks! I did Hospitality before so I am really looking forward to this if I don't get a PI

What program have u been accepted for?

Fall Advantage!

Anyone here apply for an engineering professional internship? Specifically an Industrial, but I'd love to hear from anyone. I didn't apply (I'm only on my 2nd semester so I doubt I had a chance) but I'd love to hear about some others experiences with it.

I'm doing a PI with the Costuming department which calls for IE's, but it's a separate program from all the other engineering departments.

I wouldn't stress. According to my site views, they just looked at my portfolio yesterday for one of my PIs. Some stuff takes time, no worries.

Ok thanks. Yeah we're all in the waiting game now. Good luck to all of us!! Xoxo

Thanks for the update! Let me know if you hear back from her. As of last night, he was still in progress. He comes home today for spring break so it would be ideal if he could have a phone interview next week while home. We keep hoping!

So she did have an interview. It was in February and apparently they called her and did it right then. Your son should join the facebook group. There is like 4 engineering hopefuls on there!

Hello all!
I just got my initial phone interview on Friday of last week. I'm SO nervous and excited about the internship! It's something I want really really badly!

I applied at 3 internships (all graphics/marketing related) but the one I really want is the Yellow Shoes Assistant Art Director Internship!!! YellowShoes seems like such a fun place to work!

Hey everyone!

I am still waiting on a bunch of responses from the PIs I applied for, but in the meantime I accepted the position in Attractions for Fall Advantage!

I've already done my PI Screening interview.

Here is what I am still 'in progress' for:
Management: Theme Park Operations
Yellow Shoes Copywriter/Concept (Glendale, CA)
Disney University Products and Services
Distribution Marketing Services (Graphic Design)
Workforce Insights and Evaluation

I also applied to the 'Entertainment Tech' internships a few days ago and I am still in 'submission' for those.


My main goal is the 'Management: Theme Park Operations' internship. Has anyone gotten their second interview for that particular one? If not, does anyone know when they might be occurring? I am so scared it will sit 'in progress' and then be turned into NLIC before I have a chance to talk to the folks down in Lake Buena Vista.

 

[mcarp]

How do the ending dates work for Professional Internships? If my final date is August 10th would I still be working that day or is that a move out day?

Does anyone know if there is a summer PI Facebook group?

They are doing 2nd interviews this week as in person panels for MIs. The emails asking ppl to interview went out around a week ago. That's doesn't mean you are out of the running but that is what is currently going on. Several people are interviewing for TPO MI.

NOOOOOOOOOO!

You don't think they stagger the interviews, do you? Perhaps there is another round next week? I would be really upset if they just had me sitting in 'in progress' only to be rejected late in april without hearing back from them.

I honestly have no idea. They are running the interviews differently this round than in previous years. Normally this 2nd round would not be in person so this (IMO) is the final round.

They are cruel like that though. Sitting in IS could happen. They don't seem to be using the dashboard
Ike they have in previous years either.

Late april is the cut off date though. They aren't obligated to inform you earlier if they don't want. I don't understand why that's so upsetting.

It's upsetting because if someone isn't even in the running then just take 2secs when you make that decision and mark them NLIC. And dragging it out only to find out you didn't get a PI means you could have passed by other opportunities that would not wait for Disney to answer. You could be left without a position for the fall. Obviously that's not Disney's problem, it is just upsetting for people. The late April date is pretty much only for alumni only PI's. Everyone else normally hears back long before then. My husband knew at the end of October that he had his MI when the cutoff date was early Dec, same with the other MIs. PI's started hearing back around that time too.

Its not the worst thing in the world. I'm just concerned that I am still 'in progress' but I haven't heard about a second interview. It would suck if, for some reason, I wasn't selected without an extra interview but I was still 'in progress.' I would much rather get rejected now and be sad now then wait and wait for something that may not actually happen. I know they don't have to tell me until April, but its just very frustrating to invest in this opportunity only to be stuck in traffic.

 

[dairylives]

Interesting. I was just under the impression that most people were still "in progress" at this point, and they are rolling out NLICs in phases.

I know it takes a lot of time to do hiring at my work, i can't imagine the process that Disney must go through with thousands of applicants.

 

[kgy0001]

Anybody gotten a second interview for the Yellow Shoes Internship? I just completed my phone screening on Friday and I'm waiting to see if I get a second interview.

 

[coorsie]

Serious question- I just scheduled my in-person interview for this week (I live in Maryland, but had already been planning vacation to WDW this week).

Yesterday I got a shellac/gel (lasts 2+ weeks) manicure for vacation, and my nails happen to be red. Does this comply with Disney Look? Would it count as a mark against me to keep the manicure for an interview? I'll be wearing a suit and looking professional, and tbh my nails look nice right now.

I'm just concerned that my interviewer may not be a fan of this... I could always mention that I had done it since I was planning my vacation... Thoughts?

 

[waltfreakingdisney]

I've applied for 7 PIs that I feel I qualify for on March 3rd. NLIC for 2 of them after about a week and the remaining 5 "in progress". I keep hoping for a phone interview but no such luck yet. Anyone else waiting on an initial interview? I'd like to think I'm not the only one, and that I'm not out of the running without so much as a phone call. Thanks.
