who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[dopeyrunner]

I still think it's odd that they did not automatically set up a date for your interview. Like how are you suppose to be ready 24/7 for a phone interview, cause not everyone is on the same time zone they are.
Good Luck on the other intership application.... my fingers are crossed for everyone. We'll that is unless your going up against me for the intership. Then your on your own for luck.

My interview went good I think. I think I screwed up some answers but I always made sure I was completely honest and I made sure that I was ME throughout the whole interview, not once trying to sound like someone that wasn't me and I believed that's how I came across in the interview.

She asked me some behavioral types of questions, and she said that I would hear a response within' 2 weeks, and if they liked me, then I would have to schedule another interview which would be techincal questions to see if I'm capable of handiling the programs that will be used for this Internship.

So what did you apply for? And what were some of the questions that they asked?

 

[dopeyrunner]

OK, just got done with the first phone interview with the professional intern guy..
They ask the usual Disney Look question, why I would want to come back to Disney after all these years (lol only been like 4) yada yada.
The serious questions were
Rate my Computer skills from 1-10 what programs do I know.
How do I prioritize my schedule and do I use anything to keep on top of things.
Big accomplishments in the past year..
Do I work well in a team give an example.
Now its on for round two !!!!!

I just scheduled a phone interview for the Animal Nutrition Internship. Yay!!

 

[einahpets126]

PennState24- Congrats and good luck.

Right now I am waiting for the DVC manager to call me for my interview. It was supposed to be at 1, but he called to push it back because he had to deal with a guest situation. I hope he calls back soon because the waiting is getting me anxious!

 

[PennState24]

Thanks. I am still waiting to hear back about the Conservation Education PI that i interviewed with a while ago.

 

[wakyzachy]

Do you think that I should send in my college transcripts and my portfolio? The women on the phone said nothing about that, but maybe that's why she did not set up an interview time?

[dopeyrunner]

Good Luck Steph with the DVC interview.. Which position did you apply for? I may interview for the Marketing/Sales position at DVC but I am not totally decided yet. if that is what I may be interested.

Good luck to everyone with the phone interviews remember "put a smile in your voice" lol (did anyone else take that class at Disney)

maybe Animal programs does it differently?

 

[packwingfn]

So the 2nd interview for Animal Programs is a panel interview? ewww

 

[islandears]

[PennState24]

I did not have a screening interview for the conservation education pi but the interview I did have was a panel interview with three people from that department

Hi All ! I am becoming preety nervous myself ... I am a college student (small private college in Michigan), I am on my second degree (Marketing), and I am older than most college students (37) - but a kid at heart !! I had applied for the CP for Aug - Jan, because I will graduate with my degree in August - and, although the process progressed quickly, I haven't heard anything in about 2 1/2 weeks...hmmmm.

I went to a Disney College Presentation at another area college (not my own) and had a great time, and was given a phone number to call to plan a phone interview.

The phone interview was held the very next morning, and went extremely well !!! Until 2 weeks later when I received a phone call that the college where the presentation was held would not support my decision to do the CP ... well, of course, that isn't the college I am attending ! So, I had gotten that small mess untangled ... and received a phone call from another recruiter (about 10 days ago) that I would need to fill out a 'REHIRE' application form and fax it in ASAP!

I had worked at The Disney Store when I was just out of high school (1990-1992) and left the company to go to college and to work somewhere else for more money ... not thinking that almost 20 years later I may work for the Disney Company is some capacity!

So here I am ... not knowing what is going on (or what information they dug up on me from almost 20 yrs ago! yikes!)
I am really hoping and praying that the CP calls soon...it would be a great foot in the door, and could lead to bigger, better opportunities!

Being from Michigan (and everything AutoMotive) ... I was laid off in February from my marketing/advertising position, and would love to work in Marketing somewhere in Disney!

Does the process for the College Program usually take this long...? Would it be presumptuous of me to call and see where they are in the process??

Just need some reassurance!!

I believe she noted that the 4-6 weeks was when I might and I quote might get an answer on if I was accepted or not. She also said to keep an eye on my cell phone and on my email in the coming days for another interview date and time. Today I also applied for my second Disney internship for a graphic designer in North Hollywood, Ca. So look on their website because they actually added some new internships there. Good luck to all.

eh, im a fellow graphic designer...im wondering what did you need to submit for them? and just curious do you have a website with your shnazzy stuff?

thanks!

Me too...

quite a history! niiiice!

but really people (I mean the PI people) have informed me over many rants and nervous breakdowns that this process is unpredictable. there are some signs to tell how it is going but it is all based on situational and department progress.

For example I am still waiting on results for my Travel Creative Marketing Development Internship which I've done the pre-screening which it seems you have in the CP realm, but im still waiting.

i just called to make sure i was still in-and she told me they passed it along to management and are waiting to here. and the cast recruitment does not have a deadline for anything concerning my position yet!

so i would call and just calm the nerves at least for a day and make sure you are secure at least in still having a magical chance.

other examples that i have noticed is that the AK has a little faster process.
Some have recieved 2nd interviews, few have gotten hired.

i think the majority are waiting for either a second interview or the answer to hire/rejected from their 2nd interview.

hope that helps a little.

more dis-nerds will respond with hope. i hope.
