The Official Spring 2010 PI Thread

[glendalais]

I've been checking on some of the PI facebook sites and it seems that alot of people are getting offers! Can anyone tell me if DVC Sales Assistant, Youth Education Facilitator, FL Tourist Sales, etc are all alumni-only internships?

These are the ones that people seem to be hearing from today...

As I understand it, they are all Alumni-Only Professional Internship opportunities.

When you pray for patience, do you think God gives you patience, or does He give you OPPORTUNITIES to be patient?(paraphrased from Evan Almighty...)

I have felt/feel your pain. My program is up in Jan, no chance of an extension due to the "no longer than one year" thing for student programs and I have no clue what will happen after that.

I don't think patience is a virtue. Think about it, if everyone were patient, the world would stop. Not being patient is the fuel for advancement. Just my 2 cents.

OMG ARE WE THERE YET!?

What about a TA?

What is a TA?

 

[DsnyGrl05]

Ok everyone...it is a new week!!! I have a good feeling about it, so let's start getting some phone calls! Good luck to everyone!!!!

 

[graygables]

What about a TA?

(a TA is a "temporary assignment" where you fill in for someone who is away for whatever reason or to fill a gap. It is dicey in that it could end at any time with no promise of a permanent, or "statused" position).

I'm hoping for a TA at the moment. That or even part time. It's all so up in the air right now, it's quite overwhelming and frustrating. I'll take any leftover pixies you PI folks have to spare!

ETA: I'm even looking at a switch of LOB. I'd like to explore ops in a big way!

i'm in that same boat. i've been reading all the blogs and FB groups.. people are getting offers and rejections..

i haven't received anything. i'm trying to keep my cool and not be impatient but its hard to want something so bad and just be kept out of the loop for a longer time, while others get into group.

but keep it positive!!! we are going to be there next year!!

 

[JessRawls]

Waiting is so killer!! Its nice to go through this board and see everyone is in the same boat!! but good luck to everyone this week!!! keep your phones handy!! ::crossing all my fingers for a good phone call:::

 

[Jrager]

It seems like no one has been getting any news since Friday (I have been obsessively checking all the groups) hopefully that will change since its driving me crazy!

 

[dkmulder]

Yeah, waiting is total killer. I hate to even say this, but I keep checking my email almost as much as listening for my phone (which is always less than three inches away from me). While I absolutely do not want a rejection letter, I want something - the not knowing is driving me batty and I can't concentrate on anything else. While the rumor was that all offers for alumni positions would go out by this past weekend, I have to believe that since I have not recieved a rejection letter, that's not entirely true.

So, I was thinking, those of us who are still waiting to hear anything, we should list what positions we are waiting for to see if there's a pattern to what's not gone out yet. I've noticed a lot of the positions that have been offered seem similar (management, marketing, sales).

I am waiting on:

YES Facilitator (I did see one person get offered this role, but there is
more than one spot available).
College and International Program Coordinator for Magic Kingdom
College Education Program Coordinator
Learning Center

 

[sneekypeeks]

Catering Management
Special Media & Marketing (Fairytale weddings/youth groups)

 

[JessRawls]

Guest Relations
Events -MK
Social Media & Marketing Internship (Weddings/Youth Marketing)
Public Relations Internship

 

[Jrager]

Human Resources
Services for Guests with Disabilities
College Program Event Planning

I haven't seen either of the first two on anything, and haven't seen anyone get answers for any of the three.
