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

Congrats! I have yet to hear back more on my finance internships yet, but I am still holding out hope!

Congrats to everyone else getting calls and interviews!

Anyone hear anything more about MI - retail?

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!

I just had my ops-MI interview as well today. Only 4 guys were on the phone for mine. Hopefully it went well, they said we should hear back in about a week and a half.

PM me with some of the questions they asked and how overall you think it went!!

Congrats to those who interviewed and got phone calls today!! Best of luck!!!!

And hopefully those of us still waiting will hear something soon. This wait requires patience, but it will be worth it when we all get some good news!

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?

I worked as a housekeeping intern at Hilton for about 8 months and front desk intern for about 4 months at Hilton and another hotel. Did you do the CP in FDesk? I did housekeeping CP hopefully they will offer me a 2nd interview because of that.

I spoke to a girl that got FDesk MI but she didn't do the CP but have a lot of experience in FDesk.
My screening interview was good but I think I didn't answer two questions right.
Some of the questions
What do you consider a great teamwork?
Did you ever have a time where you have to stop what you doing to do something else?
What do you consider a great manager should be?
Why do you want to work for Disney?
Tell me about yourself?
Questions about my work experiences?

Question I didn't answer as great
Did you ever have a project you work on but was changed? (I actually lied and said yes but I should have said no)

For the GR internship you have to call the internship line number and schedule a phone interview since it is an CP Alumni Only position.

Good luck on your MI interview on Wednesday! I know that was the very last day they are interviewing for MI-Ops...

I already called for the GR internship and had my alumni interview... I just didnt know if anyone had gotten a second interview for it yet!
And thanks! I hope waiting until the last day doesnt hurt me!

Anyone heard from the catering MI or the special events Fairytale weddings/youth groups yet?

 

[GiAnnie]

I have been celebrating all day today! I got an email to schedule a second interview for Retail Management. This is my first choice, so I am really super excited. I have it scheduled for Friday morning, so the next two days are going to drag by, especially since I have midterms going on right now!

 

[americangeiko]

Wow! Congrats!

I'm just curious if there's an interview cut-off date like last year. Next week is the deadline for me to submit the program fee and 1st month's rent for the D-land program.

I'd honestly just be happy knowing that I was rejected for Retail so that I could commit to D-land as I already have 2 people who want to be my roommate. (Yeah, crazy, huh? )

Hi all! My name is Dawn. I applied for 5 Professional Internships:

Revenue & Currency
Pricing
Participant Report Analysis
Financial Reporting
Advisory & Assurance

I would love to get any of them! I have a phone interview set up for 9am tomorrow. I am so nervous about what they will ask. I ALWAYS think of better things to say after an interview! Can anyone reply with possible questions that they might ask? I have read every post in this thread and have extracted just a few questions. I have also googled it and gotten pretty much no where. Please someone post with some possible questions!!

If it is your first interview it is standard phone interview questions, mine were all situational/behavioral, the "name a time when...", and "tell me about..."

Good Luck!

Thank you! Yes it is my first interview, my first interview to do with accounting as well. I graduate in December and its a bit daunting to have your first professional interview being with a big company like Disney.

I have to confess, I have actually never visited any of the Disney parks I have been plotting/planning my first Disney visit with my friends and family who are Disney-addicts but it just hasn't come together due to work/school, etc. If I get the internship then I will be able to go to all the parks! I really hope I get an internship! I hope they don't ask me if I've ever been to Disney though Someone said I should say "yes" and tell them that the teacups are my favorite ride. I think they are joking with me...

Hi Dawn, I applied for pricing too. The first interview will be a preliminary one, which will have questions like"Why Disney?","Why Pricing intern?","an example to show your leadership?", "How would your past experience help you with your Disney intern?" Just like these questions that every company will ask.

Relax and speak slowly. Hold a draft on your hand. Smile to the phone. That's what you need. Good Luck!

It went well I think! She thinks I should find out something in early November unless they need more information from me and then they will contact me earlier. It seems so close yet so far away!!!!

Glad it went well!!

And yes it does seem "so close yet so far away"! It seems like time passes extra slowly when we are all waiting for news from Disney!

Does anyone know exactly where to go for the rooms and related interviews? They said Team Disney 1st floor north by the elevators but I was wondering is that an office? an conference room? Do we need to check in with someone?

Did you select a date yet online? I call the number that they e-mail me yersterday and Colleen said that they have a list that will state who is having a phone or in person interview. Mine is on the 27th 9:30am.
Did you receive your e-mail just yesterday? Try calling them and confirm to see if they have list that state you are having a phone interview.

Congrat for both of us for a 2nd interview.
Good luck to the rest.
