The Official Spring 2010 PI Thread

That totally makes sense. I was thinking the same thing. It just seems like, since there is just one application now for alumni, that it doesn't make sense to get one generic rejection letter. I would think we'd hear from the individual departments of the roles we applied for.

Not to be negative, because I really have no idea...

but I had my CP alumni interview on Sept 1st and I haven't gotten a rejection email (yet anyways). Maybe it only means they've decided you're not qualified for one of your positions under alumni and not necessarily all of them!

Well I applied for the MI in F&B and that's the only one I applied for. But it turns out that the MI F&B isn't an Alumni only position. It's open to alumni and people who aren't. I only applied for the Alumni Only post because that's how I could schedule an interview. So... the email said I'm not qualified for the Alumni only professional internships, but I didn't really apply for any of them. Just the Management Internship one. So I still have hope. Or at least I hope I do.

Sorry for those who received the rejection letters. But who knows what it means, and maybe it means you're still in the running for the roles you really want!

Did the CP alumni app get removed from your workbench?

We are still up for the Retail MI cause I just got a rejection for the Ops MI. (Again, not surprised, the interviewer almost completely focused on the Retail MI in the questions on the interview.)

Oh, and they're both still up on my work bench.

So I guess this means that I'll either get a phone call in the next 2 weeks to schedule an MI interview, or I'll get another 'bust' email in two days.

Either way, I'm going back to Disney!

So are you saying that I'm still up for the MI in F&B? And if I do or don't get accepted at least I'll hear something else aside from that email that we both received?

Hey guys, I recieved an email this morning stating that I was chosen to schedule an interview for the ops mangagement PI. I scheduled the interview for monday and then got an email stating directions of how to get to the interview. Its in Orlando and the hollywood studios?!?! is this common or do they let you have phone interviews for the MI's???

I'm saying that my 'observation' is that they decline you position-by-position, and that the 'CP Alumni Only' email doesn't have any baring on the MIs themselves.

So, until you receive another email about your position, you're still being considered.

I got invited to schedule a 2nd round interview for an MI today. I did not have a screening interview.

when you schedule the interview, let me know if they are telling you to do an in person interview in orlando, or if you can do a phone interview....is your's for OPS MI?

I got an invitation for the same role and the same info for driving directions. Later, I got an email stating to disregard it (unless you'll be in the Orlando area and want an in person interview), it will be a phone interview.

Anyone apply for the catering management PI and heard anything yet?

 

[spectroaddy]

Hey, everyone I been really busy with campus rep stuff, I had interview for retail management, didn't go so well. I haven't been rejected yet for it, but I know I didn't pass for the 2nd round of interviews. Good luck to everyone who is going through process. I know I'm still in the running for the PI alumni ones, so hopefully, I will get one of those and try again next semester, when I get more valuable experience and knowledge. I still have a 2nd CP for spring if nothing else works out, so still going to disney no matter what.

well what caused it to not go so well, if you don't mind me asking? also would you mind sharing what types of questions they asked during your interview?

 

[fswm]

hey guys! i interviewed a week ago for events at magic kingdom and distribution/marketing/sales - event planning internship. it was just the screening i guess, lots of questions about me, why disney, and my experience in the field. i thought it went really well but i havent heard anything! no e-mail, no follow up phone call!
did anyone else apply for these positions or have the same issue?!

Congrats! It's rare, but it does happen.

It's possible that they just got a bad interviewer. I've had one in the past. There's a lot of Casting people and some of them are amazing, and some make you want to crawl under a rock.

Those are 'screening' questions, but they can be used to place you into any role, or to by-pass the 2nd interview altogether and send you an offer.

If your interviewer sent you an email thanking you for interviewing, OR if they told you that they'd "forward your information on"/"you'd be moving to the next round", then there's no stress.

Rejections/Declines are going out right now, but nobody, as far as I know, has hit the end of the road yet. (I myself have gotten 2, but I also applied for nearly 8 positions, so I was going to get the "So Sorry" email eventually.)

...Oh, did anyone else get to see Toy Story in 3-D yet? It's awesome! There's even an intermission!
