The Official Spring 2010 PI Thread

What role did u have your interview for? Glad to hear that it went well!!

I applied for the Management Internship in Food & Bev.
It's the only one I applied for.
I have a lot of experience in food & beverage and it's oddly something I enjoy.
So hopefully all my experience and everything else will help me get the position.
Haha.

 

[sneekypeeks]

Was it your screening interview or your second interview? Good luck!

 

[americangeiko]

Wow.

Most of my friends will tell you that I'm a firm believer in the:

'Sometimes great things fall apart so that better things can get together' logic.

Well, I found out why I was getting calls from Disney without a message.

It was D-Land Casting calling to tell me that I've been ACCEPTED!

And not for just any position, but my TOP CHOICE of ENTERTAINMENT COSTUMING!!!

...I still have not heard back from WDW PI Casting about the possibility of me being still in the running for the MIs, but it's nice to know that my future has definitely has Disney on the horizon

CONGRATULATIONS!
that must be a huge life off shoulders.

Congrats! That was quick!

It's for the D-land CP (there's no costuming positions out there), but considering it was one of my top choices if I didn't get the PI/MI, I'm just happy to have an offer!

This also means that I'm in a better position to move into a PI in the Fall of next year!

Position Title: WDW Professional Internship (College Program Alumni Only)


Does anyone know what that means?
It doesn't say anything about the Management Internship in Food & Bev.

So that's a good thing right?
Cause if that means, I didn't get into the MI, I'd be really bummed out.

 

[sneekypeeks]

I got a rejection letter for some and a call to interview for the ones I was not rejected on. Don't lose hope!

You most likely are still in the running for the MI if you didnt get a message about it. What Alumni only roles did you apply to if you dont mind me asking?

 

[hokieproud]

Well that's good to know.
I feel like if I got a rejection for the MI position then it would have been listed as well, just like the one above.
Or at least I'm hoping that's what the case would be.

I'm just really bummed.

But then again, I only applied for the WDW professional internship (college program alumni) thing because people said thats what you had to do in order to set up an interview.

I'm in the same boat as well. I got the same message, for the same reason, from the same person. I emailed them 2 days ago about it, but have yet to receive a reply. If I don't hear by tomorrow, I'm going to call.

I'd just hate to accept for the D-land Program as there's roughly $536 in deposits you have to pay once accepting only to get accepted for the MI in Florida.

I don't mind if they're telling me I'm disqualified for the PIs as my interviewer kind of hinted at that when we talked in September.

Well if you find out anything, please let me know.
Did yours just say you weren't accepted for the WDW college program alumni position?
Because I feel like I'm fully qualified for the Food & Bev MI, in comparison to my old managers who got the management internship in food & bev.
Cause that would be bad news if I couldn't get this internship with my work experience.
Good luck to me in finding a job. Haha

It was the exact same email minus my name in place of yours.

I've met people who've been casted in roles before who had little to no experience in what they were put in verses people with a lot of experience who were looked over.

Ouch, yea that's always been something I've been afraid of.
Hopefully that's not the case.
I really just want to know if that email means I'm not out of the running for the M.I.
Because I know those internships are open to candidates even who aren't CP Alums

Congrats!! I'm trying to believe that philosophy, maybe there's a good reason why I was rejected for the PI, maybe some unforeseen opportunity is going to come along *shrugs* lol. Would be nice.

Again, CONGRATS!!

I just finished my screening interview. I know, it was just the screening interview and not a second interview, but man, that was 50 minutes of stress that I'm glad is over. I think it went really well, I had answers ready for almost all of her questions except maybe two - but I did come up with responses for those as well. Oh man, I'm not sure how much more of this I can take She did tell me that decisions are supposed to be made by the end of the second week in November, however, Animal Programs told me today that they would let me know by December 10th My interviewer did say that November is when all departments are supposed to have their decisions in, but some departments will push the deadline.

I'm a bit confused about the rejections coming out, and I don't know if those of you who are getting rejection notices should give up hope yet (although I definately don't want you to get your hopes up for nothing, either). If all of the departments look over your profile and screening interview, it would seem like you should get a notice from each of the departments, so maybe only one of the areas you applied for actually rejected you. Since this semester they are going with a cover-all application for alumni, I wouldn't give up hope yet on all the roles you checked.

Come visit me in SoCal if the MI falls through!

I'll have free tickets, and D-Land CP's are statused as CRs!

My interviewer kind of hinted that I wasn't going to be considered for costuming, so if I'm out of the running for that, it wouldn't phase me. I don't know if they'd already 'filled' that role, or if the department wasn't interested in taking interns this year or what.

She did however make it sound like I was a strong candidate for the MIs, especially Retail, but I'm kind of in a quandary now as I have D-land acceptance in one hand, and no word from WDW MIs in the other.

So I'm thinking that we got these letters not because we haven't been accepted. But this is the first year where you can apply to that alumni job post to consolidate your interviews into one. So I was thinking that once you have your interview, they somehow check it off as the interview being completed and then that email gets sent out. Cause it is a generic email and that job post isn't necessarily a job that you can get, you still have the individual job postings that you apply for. And that email didn't include the f&b MI i applied for. Plus the lady told me that I wouldn't hear anything until the first or second week of November. Why would she say that and then I hear from them the next day? Does that make sense?
