who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[Rufio]

I honestly have no idea, but I think they liked me - it's the type of interview where they are quiet and stern through the questions, but then were laughing and were very polite and sincere when I asked questions, plus said they were in a hurry with me since I accepted gr already..honestly, I don't care, I got plaid and I realized it is what I want more than anything!!

so do you know of any others that have gotten the GR? and sorry if this is sounding repetitive but did you hear of how many or when they are stopping the process of hiring more GRs??

thanks so much...every post is therapeutic no matter the response. its the thought that someone is out there that will answer back.

ps im jealous - GUEST RELATIONS!!! to wear plaid man that the dream.

I don't know about Happy Marathon Monday-- Ryan Hall and Kara Goucher placed 3rd I was really rooting for Ryan today.. and yes I ran on a treadmill today while watching the marathon. It made it alot more fun maybe Boston will be next year.

Anyways back on topic lea509 when they did your background check was that before they called to tell you that you were accepted ?

Boston is a blast, everyone should experience the marathon at least once!

By background check, what do you mean? I basically had a standard prelim interview and then got a call two weeks later saying I got guest relations! I do know that they called my disney references from my mailed in application though, if that helps...

all I know of is one being hired at epcot and me...which would leave the four roles, but I have no clue on who else has been hired, sorry! I hope people will start posting here or on facebook if they got them! (smile)

I just had to fill out a four page Bio Summary and fax it back, but I have no idea if I got the job or not. So I was just wondering if anyone else had to fill out a Bio Summary?

I would so love to go and run the Boston Marathon though I am about 20 minutes off of qualifying and I don't think the Marathon i'm doing May 2nd is going to help. Runner's World rates it as one of the Toughest Marathon in the Country.

so I just had an ops management interview and it made it more clear to me than ever that I really just want plaid...both woman got their main start in GR! They said I will know by the end of the week or no later than monday and that all their interviews are taking place today and tomorrow! G'luck to everyone - it seems like at least everyone will know by may 1!

Wow I was a last minute application send in on Friday as I was busy all last week when I heard they posted the Management Interviews. I wonder if I will get a call from that tomorrow. I'm busy all day with school and not fully prepared for a interview right away. I guess I'll start prepping for it tonight.

What questions did they ask you during the interview?

Urg. I called the PI office today to inquire about my application. I explained my whole situation (interviewed for retail mgmt last semester, positions cancelled, came to WDW on merch CP, rc'd a call a few weeks back asking about my interest, re-applied, no interview scheduled, just to sum it up ) and he said he'd have to do some research and get back to me. That was 10am, but I've heard nothing since. The ops manager I spoke with last week (who emailed someone about me) saw me today and asked if I'd heard anything on ops mgmt b/c she has a friend who was just offered a position. I also had GR folks who know me (from dropping off the seemingly endless supply of cell phones ) ask if I'd heard anything about plaid yet, so there are LOTS of people who think I should be getting a call, darnit.

I'm still trying to make peace with the extension into Full Service Food and Bev; I am kind of looking forward to a whole new line of business for me, but at the same time, the PI/MI has been my focus for SO long now.

Hi. So last friday I figured I'd check out the available PI spots for old time's sake (I'm a former PI, more about that in a sec.) and I noticed a few that looked fairly interesting. I ended up applying for 3 and got an email today offering me the opportunity to interview for the Retail Management IP position. Just wondering if anyone's already accepted the position or have done the internship before? any pointers?

I mean, I'm not really nervous about the interviews, just curious. I was a CP at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Spring 2004, Campus Rep forever and was a DVC Sales Assistant PI in Spring 2007 (btw, if anyone has any questions about the DVC spot, I'm your guy).

I'm finishing up grad school in May, but I just can't seem to get away!

So yah, if you wanna chat or whatever, hit me up on AIM. My screen name is vdude02. Hope to hear from you guys soon!

Has anyone heard anything about Animal Kingdom Education internships? I applied for education presenter and already had my interview, just waiting on a call.

 

[dopeyrunner]

So I got extended an offer for the Recreation Services Professional Internship

that awesome- so is that a good thing in your eyes? i couldnt tell if you were crazy happy- or wanting another PI..

i think anything is golden right now

 

[dopeyrunner]

I'm excited its just now i have to figure out like expenses and relocating. This position didn't offer relocating expenses but I assume others do. Probably the MI ones.
I am towards the higher end of the pay scale at more then 11 an hour so that makes it a little easier to say yes. I was really hoping for like 13 but I don't think that's negotiable.
She also said housing is going to be a lottery for those that are considering living in Disney Housing.

Hey! When did you have your interview? I was told during my interview that they were going to make all decisions about presenters by May. I had to wait about a week till I heard. But since they go through casting to give you an offer it might take a little longer since casting seems to be recently busy calling people with offers. I also got the call on a Friday, which seems to be a trend. So hopefully you will find out this Friday. Good luck! I hope you get it!!

I'm starting to get a little discouraged. It's not over a month since I applied for the first three PI's (Communications Planning: Journalism/Graphic Design, GR, and MK event planning assistant) and I haven't heard anything yet. Not even a screening interview or anything. I did call casting a week ago and the woman I spoke with said I was still being considered and they were still in the decision making process, and she said I would be notified either way. I know I need to stay positive and I'm trying really hard...but it's coming down to the end so I'm getting really nervous. I know I am qualified for all three positions I applied for so I'm just wondering why Disney hasn't contacted me yet. Guess I'll just have to keep waiting.

And the disney shakes continue!

Yep, you're right. MIs are the only ones that give relocation reimbursement. But congrats on your internship! The drive is fun though, I did it last year with my boyfriend, we went from Vegas.

So, is everyone still shakin'? I got a call this morning and I mauled my phone... it was the dentist office reminding me of my appointment. Darn. The receptionist told me she's never heard someone answer the phone so excited before. haha

Pixie Dust all around! Lets hope for some more good news!

 

[DisSisters]

Just to point out, some PIs do offer relocation assistance. I'm doing a PI and getting relocation assistance, so I guess it just depends on each individual internship. I think someone already posted what the MI relocation package is, but it is a bit different than mine. So maybe that is what you meant.

Congrats DopeyRunner!!!

I had my interview a couple of weeks ago, do you have any idea how many positions are still available for the presenters?

Oh, wow. Good to know, thanks! If I get an internship that's something to hope for, after all, it's going to be a long road trip from Washington.

I read somewhere that they have around 20 presenters. I'm not sure how many people have already been accepted. I haven't seen anyone else on this board that has been yet but there might be some out there. I bet you will hear soon though and it is really nice there are so many positions because it give you a bigger chance!

Do you know what the starting pay rate is? I havent seen anything on that, also are they helping you with moving expenses at all?
