who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[can84]

So I just got an email from Disney saying:



I AM currently enrolled full-time at college...so what gives?? I'm so confused, everything relating to school and/or college was in my resume I sent

I got the same email for one of the ones I applied for I emailed them back, just to let them know I am a full-time student. I don't want it to somehow mess up any of the other positions I applied to.

This is the email I just received back from them:
When you completed the assessment during the application process for a Disney Theme Parks and Resorts Professional Internship, you indicated that you were no longer enrolled in school, or had already graduated. One of the requirements of our program is that you must currently be enrolled in a US college or university.
If you are currently enrolled and are a student, please disregard our previous e-mail, and know that you are still in consideration for the internships that you've applied for.

Thank you for applying for a Disney Professional Internship, and we wish you good luck on your future endeavors!

Have a Magical Day!

I definitely did not indicate that I already graduated, so I'm not sure why that came up.

 

[islandears]

it didn't say sorry your application is not being reviewed...so its probably a form email that is just sent out to everyone

 

[kristilovesdw]

This might be an obvious question. Did you fill out the assessment in the workbench section of the Disney website?

I wouldn't give up on it. If you are in college, there must be some mistake on their part.

Yes I did, I actually only had one assessment though and it was for the Costuming Workroom Internship position in particular.

Ah good, I'm glad I'm not the only one I should probably email them back as well!

So there must be some sort of mistake/glitch, because I didn't indicate that either. I'm replying back to their email right now!

I have my first interview on wednesday at 10am!

I'm seeing everyone saying they are getting phone calls and interviews...I'm getting so anxious/frustrated!

Should I contact someone? Or just be patient and wait it out?

So I haven't gotten any screening interviews yet however I just got an email saying I was not being considered for the Sports Complex Management Position. That really sucks, fortunately, I applied for 5 different internships so hopefully they find me qualified enough for one of them.

Sorry to hear that = ( How long ago did you apply? I'm just trying to figure out a time frame as to when I'll hear. I mean I guess no news is good news right now, but I'm still getting worried. I do know that they at least received my application because I got a confirmation email after I applied, but still I'd hope that I would hear something soon

I applied on February 27th and i got the email today. I was so excited when I saw that I had gotten a message, then I realized it was a rejection letter which is just a complete let down. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the other four positions I applied for.

How long ago did you apply?

I applied March 11 so it was really last minute. Do you know if people usually hear by email or phone first?

I applied about the same time and had an interview, but still waiting on their decision. What PIs did you apply for? From what I understand, although I could be wrong, you will be contacted either phone/email to set up an interview. I've had both in the past. I've also been told that you will get a phone call to offer you the job and an email as a rejection.

I applied for Communications Planning (my top choice), Guest Relations, and MK events assistant. How long after you applied did you get contacted?

I got an email on March 14th from the AK interview panel asking to set up an interview time. The closing day for that internship was March 13th and I applied on March 10th. I had my interview with the AK panel on March 19th. They told me they would have final decisions made by May 1st, but I wouldn't be surprised if it took longer.

I applied March 17 and still have not heard anything yet, either. I'm trying to not get my hopes up; I know this is going to be very competative. Although this is my dream, it is everyone else's as well, and I try to keep that in mind. So, I carry my phone around with me and check it a million times a day just to make sure I didn't miss the call, and I am hooked on these boards and hanging on every word because I finally feel like there are people out there who can relate. Despite all this, I keep telling myself 'don't get your hopes up, the odds are stacked against you.' I know I will be devestated if I don't get it, so I'm trying to make it easier on myself now. I actually haven't even told anyone that I applied because I don't want all the questions and comments, I'd rather wait for an answer before I tell anyone. Crazy, huh?

Anyhoo, enough rambling. I keep reading here and there that staying at the Disney properties (Chattam, PC, Commons and Vista) is actually more expensive than other local apartments?! What? Does anyone know of any of these apartments that are supposedly cheaper. I actually think the prices are quite reasonable, especially as everything is included in the rent. However, I have pets that are like my children and I can not bear to live without them for six months. Also, I know this is asking a lot in this economy, but ultimately, I am hoping to remain down there on a permanant basis and so would like somewhere that I won't have to move from in six months. And I like the Little Lake Bryan area. Any suggestions?

I thought they all closed on the 13th?

I applied on the 18th and I was still able to get my application in. I guess they extended some.

 

[MegaraRocks!]

As far as i understand it the process goes as follows:
1) Apply
2) Wait
(rejection letters may arrive)
3) Phone call to set up preliminary or screening interview
4) Screening interview
5) More Waiting
(rejection letters may arrive)
6) Phone call to set up secondary interview with the department
7) Secondary interview with the department
8) Repeat steps 5-7 with other PIs
9) More waiting
10) Decision (acceptance or rejection)
11) Extreme happiness or complete despair

I have applied and gotten to step 9 with three of my PIs so far (one of which I got to step 11 on, the extreme despair option) wish me luck, I wish you luck lets all keep our fingers and toes crossed and toss alittle pixie dust over our shoulders
