who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[lauraebeth]

why did you have to work at OKW for the Recreation one? That seems so specific! Im a Campus Rep too.. what school are you at?

I am from Middle TN State Univ.

I work in a region for recreation, it's called sassagoula. it covers, Port Orleans, Old Key West, Saratoga Springs, and Downtown Disney. and there are different things to do at each resort sorta.

I've worked at port 3 times since i've been here, never worked @ DTD, and most of my shifts are @ SSR since that's where I'm statused. but I also am trained @ dock @ OKW, so once or twice a week i'm there.

Remember I had less than 4 weeks notice from when they notified me to when I got the job. There's a good chance they make take that much time again. If you haven't heard anything, don't sweat it!

Go out running. Distract yourself. Well, as best you can, since I know how weird and stressful the wait can be.

 

[dopeyrunner]

yea, I did apply for the rec PI. and, you must have worked at OKW. it sucks so bad! and until now, I preferred A/C over anything. I'm one of those wacko's who actually is here to, and enjoys working. go figure.

I was at CBR and I transfered over there during January so it was so slow and if it didn't get above like 55 you couldn't rent boats out but we always told them how big the lake was and that if they could they should head over to MK. It was just a big change of pace to move from opening an attraction to being stuck inside a lighthouse that is only big enough for three people. I also enjoy working I just need stuff to do. I hate siting around all day and not having things to do...

shake shake shake it

shake it like you got the Disney shakes! **did no one else have that song pop into their heads??**

well, i suppose Im calling Disney today, just to find out about what if I get my PI and Im already there for my summer alumni....augh I get so nervous when I call Disney, I hope they dont count it against me (I get so nervous and sound very unprofessional)

 

[dopeyrunner]

I so know what you mean I have the same feeling when I call them. So I just sent an email instead, requesting further information as into the status of my interview.

Also, Thanks for bringing up Shake It! I just got that song out of my head. It played all summer on the Dew Tour between the Athletes riding to it and the Verizon Booth playing it. I heard it for six months all the time. Big Thanks for putting it back in my head.

"Let's drop.. Shake, Shake, Shake,Shake, uh Shake it!!"

Im sorry!!! I didn't know! I hate it when people get songs stuck in my head, so I feel guilty whenever I get songs stuck in other people's heads.

In my experience, the best way to get rid of the song is to pass it on to someone else.

Well you definitely passed it along to me because now I can't get it out of my head either! haha too funny...it must be a symptom of the epidemic disney shakes!

I think I'm the only that associated shake shake with Rooney...

I could really use some MISICI right now...

Last night i was leaning towards the idea of accepting the ticketing internship, a guarenteed job. Before i went to bed i asked for a sign for what to do...Well this morning on my way to class i received a call from the hiring recruiter for the front desk management. They sd that they were really interested in me, and that they were planning on starting the interviews for the role next tue, however, they wanted to set mine up for tom. She sd that she had been talking to a women named Diane, and has realized that i could be put in the impossible positions of having multiple offers....i know i should have told her i was already in this position, but i was literally walking into class and it just all caught me off guard.... so the fact that she mentioned another person's name makes me think that its high probability that i may get offered another intern....so ive decided to call my recruiter today and tell her that i at least need another day until after i have had my interview...i shouldn't think this should be an issue since i wouldn't even known about the whole 24 hrs thing if i wouldn't have called yesterday....

so what i found out :
-interviews for management internships are starting next tue, and it seems like they are really going to be on top of the whole decision making process b/c they know that ppl may be getting multiple offers
-Also i guess my recruiter was wrong when she sd whenever you are offered a position you are taken out of the running for the others.....

so good luck to everyone!!!! I really hope ppl hear something soon, and thank you for listening to all my problems

 

[Validee]

Great to hear things are working out for you, Amy! What your recruiter told you about being taken out of the running sounded unfair, so it's good to know that was untrue. Good luck with your interview!

 

[einahpets126]

Amanda! That's great that you're still in the running! It did seem really unfair and different from what others have been told in previous years.

Good luck with you interview!

The PIs check in on June 19th.
I'm trying to relax and realize that "it is what it is" and what happens happens for a reason. (but it's hard! )

my my my!

im freakin a little!!

[can84]

I just got an email from WDW Professional Internships and got so excited--until I opened it and it was a notice that some finance PIs are open. I think I officially have the PI shakes now too!

 

[Princess_Pris85]

Sorry if this has already been posted - I haven't read through the whole thread! Has anyone heard of grad students doing the PI program? It seems like it's geared towards post-undergrad people, but just wondering??

I'm in grad school, and I think a few others are too

 

[islandears]

so I couldnt help it....
I called.....I said "So I know you guys are probably getting this alot but etc.etc."
The girl I got on the line was really helpful....said my name was still in process for an interview tho....so i guess thats good news?
I wonder if they take us calling as a sign of impatience...uh oh....lol

 

[Princess_Pris85]

hi can84! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of grad program are you in? Are you doing a summer internship? Also, have you heard of any law students doing this program?

Is the summer internship in California? Some of them sounded interesting, but not in my major (Library). Now, if they had an internship in their archives I'd go to California in a heartbeat

I'm not sure about anyone in a law program, but I really don't know anyone's majors

ya same here...its funny its the only email i have gotten from them about a "new" internship posting...never for valentines day or a week ago when other were posted.
i thought it was spam due to fact I have two emails signed up for alerts about internships.

frickin shakes!

The archives internship is gone?? They used to have a summer one for grad students (library), I almost applied in summer 07 but passed because of the hour and housing situation. There was a library internship here in FL (entertainment specific) that was for grads too, but I do not believe it will be offered this fall.

To the grad topic - I got my masters last May and my fellow intern is finishing his this semester. So yep, lots of grads out there!
