who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[can84]

A note about Animal Programs... this department was affected by the layoffs this week. A friend of mine in the program said that one area laid off everyone, except the intern, so the intern is basically running things until it gets restructured. What does that mean? AP is getting restructured and it'll probably affect interns.

I do not know any more than that as of now... this has been a really bad week in terms of employment at the mouse.

This is starting to sound a little like last semester

When I applied for the internship, I didn't even know it was paid.

I will work for free! I am desperate for experience. Lol.

Which PIs did you apply for? And good luck!

 

[islandears]

I've begun an application spree for post graduation work...I don't like the way things are sounding
still keeping fingers crossed tho

 

[clemsondisneygirl]

yeah none of this sounds too promising...but i suppose they have to hire someone even the mouse needs interns to do the dirty work! i hope...

 

[islandears]

With that in mind what happens if say I got called back and accepted the Disney internship then I got a call from another job that I wanted to do instead(i have yet to come across one)
Can you accept the disney offer then retract before the job starts?

 

[denalii]

I have an interview tomorrow! So excited.

I love how fast that was. I turned all my application materials in on Tuesday. Other companies should learn from Disney! Lol.

"Walt Disney World has stepped up layoffs this week, as the company prepares to close out its fiscal second quarter this week.

Disney, which is Central Florida's largest employer with about 62,000 "cast members," refused to say Thursday how many jobs it has eliminated. But one person familiar with some details of the cuts said he was given an estimate of 450.

Employees said the cuts, which predominantly target salaried workers, have occurred across the resort's back-office functions, including entertainment, merchandise, finance, transportation, training, emergency management and theme-park operations.

"It's property-wide," said Donna-Lynne Dalton, business agent for the Teamsters Local 385 union, which represents characters, laundry workers, parking attendants and ranch hands. She noted, however, that the job cuts have not affected unionized employees.

"I was told that they are going to be walking people out through Friday," she said."

oh no!

I have not had any interviews yet. I applied online last Wednesday. Since then I received some emails asking me for more supporting documents and to fill out two questionnaires. I think the questionnaires were for pre-screening. Maybe?

I applied for an animal program internship, fyi.

I've started studying for it! I hope they don't ask any curve ball questions.

From what I'm seeing and what was in the email, Animal Programs only contacts you if they need more information.

Cast Services was completely cut today with their responsibilities going to the local managers and the Learning Center. I have a BIL who also lost his job when it was eliminated today (something to do with food at Epcot). It's a scary time right now, but hopefully we can emerge victorious and employed at WDW!

So I just got an email from Disney saying:

Costumer Internship
Costuming Buyer Internship
Costuming Design Internship
Costuming Workroom Internship

At this time, we only accept applications from individuals that are currently enrolled in a college or university for Disney Professional Internships.

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

 

[Berlioz70]

Their information comes from the survey you took... what did you indicate?

Hope this was directed at me, sorry if I'm answering someone else's question. I indicated that I'm currently in my 3rd year of college, going for a major in Fashion Merchandising.

 

[tink8685]

So I applied exactly two weeks ago tomorrow and I still have yet to hear back. No emails, no phone calls, nothing. Is this normal? Maybe i'm just too anxious, but I feel like everyone else is getting emails or phone calls and I havent gotten anything

 

[Berlioz70]

Hmmm... that is interesting then. I'm not sure why they would think you weren't in college.

All the info was in my resume, I didn't even get a screening interview to answer any questions... which is weird to me. I wouldn't have applied to the positions had I not met the requirements, ugh well I guess the waiting is over now

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.

I received the same e-mail and called about it. I am even a campus rep which means I have to be in college and I had my first round yesterday and it was clarified that I am in school...there is a glitch. Just e-mail the address listed and tell them the problem.
