The Official Spring 2010 PI Thread

[spectroaddy]

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?

I am still currently with the company status still, so I can't tell you in public. Check your PM!!!

 

[sneekypeeks]

Check your PM!!!

You too!
PS I am merchandising for the spring as well. This will make more sense when you read your PM

Can you send me a pm, too, please? I'm going to be interviewing for an MI on monday too! Any help/advice would be awesome!

Hey All,

The PIs and MIs will call you to schedule interviews. You should only call to schedule an interview if you applied for an Alumni Only Position or unless prompted to do so in the job description. They are really busy processing everyone's resumes and it will take time it is barely past the due date on MIs and the due date for PIs hasnt even been reached. Just relax we will all hear something either way by the end of November. I dont recommend calling the phone number to check on your application or to try and find out about your status, only if you have a change in contact information! You dont want them remembering you for the wrong reasons. If you have a question email them instead, the email address is on www.disneyinterns.com. I am sure they will be more then happy to answer it, but email allows them to answer it on their own time. There is alot of us and not many of them, patience is nessacary. I know its hard and stressful, I have been there and am going through it again, but the professionals processing our applications can only move so fast.

Please be patient, diffrent departments make phone calls at diffrent times so dont lose hope! Just be extremely patient. You will hear either way. I promise!

AMEN TO THAT!!!

I recieved an email from Animal Programs today and I was so afraid to open it. But I'm getting a panel interview!!!! Seriously though, I was a bit afraid to open it because I had already sent all the information and the next step is either a you're out or an interview and I kinda thought interviews would be scheduled by a phone call, not an email. And, I so thought I ruined my chances with the cover letter I sent them, but, thankfully, I guess not. Yay


On another note, did anyone here apply for the youth education series internship, the one with the video audition? I'm curious what types of topics people chose for the video. I know they said they would not be looking at the content, but rather how you present. But still, I'm wondering what types of things people chose to do.

I applied and had a screening interview, then I got a rejection email so I can't really say =/.
BTW congrats on the interview for Animal Programs!

I notice this thread has gotten a little quiet. There is another week starting soon, and another week of hope for everyone. Good luck to everyone, we are going to make it!!!!

 

[DsnyGrl05]

I I was thinking the same thing! Good luck to everyone this week, hopefully we'll start hearing some good news!!

 

[GiAnnie]

I had a dream last night I got a call back for a second interview... so I am thinking that that is a good sign! Actually I am taking most anything to be a good sign right now, so yes I am hoping for some news this week too!

 

[vamoose27]

The postings for a majority of PIs close Friday. Is anyone else looking forward to this?

If I get through this time it will be my second Professional Internship, but last time I applied on the very last day! ...That makes this waiting very much harder.

I wish y'all all luck!

I did find out some interesting stuff about the DLR program though. Like, they only accept approx. 200 people which makes them as exclusive as the PIs.

Haha...that's interesting~

I believe that you were too concentrate on this. Patience is easy to say but not so easy to do so. Since there is no use for you to think about this at this time, just let it be.

Everybody looks anxious! I just had some unusual experience and I want to share with you guys~you guys just listen for fun~

On Oct 16th my fall break started and I went to Jamaica to have my vacation. However I was rejected from the Jamaica immigration because they said I don't have a Jamaica visa. I explained that I was a student who was holding a F1 student visa and I hope that they could give me the visa right at the immigration. I believed so because last time I went to the Bahamas and they did so. But this time they said I can only apply for the visa outside Jamaica and they suggested me to go to Miami to apply. If I did so I have to sacrifise my 3 days of the vacation because the comming day was Saturday. The consiquence is that I cancelled my cacation and came back directly and wasted 400 dollars on the flight.....

The most important part I want to say is that when I tried to explain something more the officer put his hand on the gun! Then I disappeared immidiently.... It was so terrible...

When I came back I waited for 2 days for my suitcase. My case was opened and checked and my girlfriend lost her Sanitary....

 

[Sophia_1212]

Chao I don't think that story is relaxing but sad, I hope your girlfriend didn't lose anything important.



As of now I still waiting for a phone call or an e-mail for the PI and MI I applied for. I interview on 9/30, and so far I got no response.

Anyone applied for Room Division MI? Lets share your work experience at the hotel industry for Front Desk and/ or Housekeeping and for how long you work there. Also share whether or not if you get a response yet so far?

 

[Lukas87]

I applied for rooms MI and interview in a few days. I've worked front desk for a few years but never housekeeping. What about you? And you said you already had your interview? How did it go?

 

[Disneygirl86]

Just finished interviewing for Management Ops Internship. I had 5 people on a conference call with me! I think it went ok overall, though. I can't wait to hear back!

 

[DisneyLover83]

I received a call this afternoon to set up a second interview for the finance positions. I'm excited/nervous!

Edited to add: I was told this is "the interview" and it will be with one person and a decision will be made the first week in Nov.
