The Official Spring 2010 PI Thread

[Jrager]

I just got this e-mail...

Thank you for your recent communication, and for your interest in the Disney Internships

We are so pleased that there has been tremendous interest in our programs, and apologize that this has created a delay in your receiving information on your interview results.

At this time, our records show that we are still processing your application.

Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the delay!

Thank you and have a magical day!

So we have a bit longer to wait...

I just called to see what I could find out. The lady said by November 28th. Maybe the 16th was just for the Alumni PI's?

Good luck those still waiting, I really hope that chick was wrong.

Congrats to those finding out!

I was told the 28th as well - and for alumni PI's (this was back in October). The non-alumni roles I applied for said December 10th.

Mine were all non-alumni and I was told the first part of November, not by casting though, I was told this by a woman in the Finance dept who scheduled my second interview.

My plans for the Spring semester are set in terms of registration and all and if I were to not hear back till early December I would be forced to say no, the way some schools are set up you need more than 4 weeks notice to get permission and then enroll in the internship class, especially when most universities are closed for a large part of December.

Has anyone recieved an offer for the Catering Management Internship yet?

 

[KingChris288]

I just got the call about Operations Finance...ACCEPTED!

She started out with all of the basic questions (Disney Look, etc.) before offering me the spot...kinda scary, but funny in the end.

I called to ask about the fact that I haven't had any interviews yet. The lady that I talked to said that it meant I was probably out the running, but when I said one had been taken off my workbench without me receiving a rejection email, she transferred me to another lady, who I left a message for. I haven't heard back yet from her, though, and I called about 4 hrs ago.

I also called on Fri, and got transferred to someone else immediately to leave a message, and never heard back... It's annoying me, because I need to buy my plane tickets for my CP, but if I get this, then I probably won't have the same start date, right?

The start date for the PI's is the 14th (for everyone I've heard, including myself). If you do have to arrive on the 6th for the CP, you can always move into an apartment early (non-Disney housing) and just start your PI on the 14th.

I'm planning on moving in on the 8th or 9th depending on what apartment I decide on and availability. If you're checking in for the CP on the 13th, I'd just buy your ticket for either the 12th or early on the 13th and you can stay in a hotel if you have to and want Disney housing.

Congrats! Did you do a second interview for the position?

I did the initial screening interview and then had an interview with a person from the finance department after that.

I wish I could remember what date I did the second interview, but I don't have it with me. Sorry!

Congrats! I'm glad to hear people are starting to hear on Finance positions, even if I don't get one

did you contact disney before they sent you this email? In regards to the awful, awful, awful, wait?

 

[Jrager]

Yes, I did. And I was told the 16th, and then recieved this on the 16th. I'm not exactly sure whats going on since I have been given three different dates and have read three or four others on this and Facebook groups.

 

[lotrgal]

If anyone is looking for a place to stay that is non-sponsored housing, another intern and I are looking for two or 3 bedroom (if we find another roommate) condos (furnished) that are closer to disney. I am doing the veterinary hospital internship and she is doing a plant internship. We're both fun and easy going, we like party nights as well as calm relaxing evenings watching TV. We overall just want to have fun living during the course of the internship. So feel free to facebook me if you're interested!

Yeah, I start the 6th. Is it awful if I just call back every day until I hear back from the people I've left messages for?

 

[avsemijalac]

Hello everyone! My name is Amanda and I have been offered 2 PI positions!!! I have to call Casting back by noon and tell them which one I have chosen. I interviewed for 3 PI's and got 2 out of the 3! I have a choice between e-Solutions Marketing and Worldwide Safety & Accessibility Communications. I'm so excited that I'm going to be a PI in January!!!! Dreams really DO come true!

 

[Jrager]

Yeah, I start the 6th. Is it awful if I just call back every day until I hear back from the people I've left messages for?

No, I will be calling again today since I was told I would be told by the 6th. And then the 10th. And then the 16th. I need a new date.

 

[vamoose27]

I just called to make sure my resume was attached correctly, since I had problems initially -- and since my interviewer was slightly incompetent. The girl told me that it was attached.

However, she also volunteered the information that decisions would be out by the 28th, so not to worry if I hadn't heard anything.

 

[secondstarlight]

I've been absent from the board for a few days and had to catch up on the new news...it sounds like some people got offers which is fantastic!! Congrats!

I've been reading that quite a few poeple, it seems, don't want to live in Patterson...though I've seen some quite positive reviews. If I was lucky enough to get an internship, I think that I would live in Patterson...great events, close to Disney, only a 6 month lease... I realize that there are some downs to the situation but there are also negatives for living in non-Disney housing...

As I said, I've read that several people are looking into non-Disney housing...is there anyone considering living at Patterson?

Good luck to everyone still waiting along with me!

 

[Chao Guo]

I have applied for 2 management Interns, 2 finance PI and 2 alumni positions. Those 2 management Interns was rejected, but I haven't heard of anything of the rest 4 positions. In addition, I had only the screen interview and none of the rest position gives me the second interview. Is there anybody has the same problem alone with me?

 

[disprincess89]
