who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[dkmulder]

ya i'm trying not to stress. I mean I'm guessing no news is good news right now since I haven't gotten a rejection or anything...but it's just frustrating. I have to stay optimistic though! Good thoughts only!

Hey Tink, you are NOT ALONE!!! I haven't heard a thing, either I keep checking my workbench everyday, just to make sure everything is still there, which it all still is. SO, like you said, that is a good thing. I have to tell myself that every day, no, make that every minute of every day. I also try to always keep in mind what happened to another PI from seasons past. She, too, did not hear anything and it was the week the final decisions were being made. SHe had basicaly given up hope, as she had not even had a screening interview and most others had already had their second interviews and were just waiting for the results. Then, three days before the decisions had to be made, she recieved a call for an interview (without ever being screened) and ultimately got the job. I keep trying to be optimistic, hoping that this will happen for some of us who have yet to be contacted for our screening. This will happen for us, it must. No news really can be wonderful news

I applied for:
College and International Programs Coordinator (first choice)
Disney Learning Center (second choice)
Guest Relations (third)
Ticketing (fourth - this one is one that I had never given any thought to, as I didn't think I had any desire to sell tickets. However, I think I know everything there is to know about Disney's ticket packages, and I am always helping friends and others decide which type of package they should choose -and get sooo excited for them, so then I thought, huh, maybe I would really like this one)

It makes me feel so much better to hear that I'm not the only one who hasn't heard anything! I definitely agree that no news is good news, because ultimately they have to let us know one way or another so if even though we haven't heard antthing yet doesn't mean we won't hear good news shortly! So we just have to stay positive!

I applied for communications Planning (that's my first choice...I am a professional writing major and love to write/edit so this would be a dream come true if I got it!)
I also applied for Guest Realtions as well as MK special events assistant.
I would be thrilled to get any of the three, but obviously I;m praying for my top choice!

Good Luck!

Ok MegaraRocks! Not as strong who are you kidding I was not only a CP but when I was full time I beat out over 5,000 cast members for one of 10 slots on opening crew for Mission: Space and then did it again for opening crew of Soarin. I also beat out over 10,000 applications for an intership on the AST Dew Tour. So I think I've got a strong chance of getting what I want. I am not downplaying anyones aspirations just take easy and breath.... You shouldn't get all worked up over others. That is like a huge thing you should learn if your going to work at Disney.

THAT IS THE KIND OF PASSION I WAS TALKING ABOUT! YAY! WOW that is pretty amazing that you were on two opening teams! I wasnt worked up and im sorry it seemed that way. I am a very mellow person, I just get passionate about things i believe in. And it frustrated me that you SEEMED to take this so lightly. Im sorry i misunderstood!

I have my interview tomorrow at 2:30 and I'm so nervous. It was postponed last week and I was ready to do it then, but now the extra week is killing me.

I applied for Animal Programs - Animal Technology and I'm about to graduate in a month so I really would like this internship. Anyone have a general idea of what questions that they may ask me tomorrow that may have applied for an Animal Programs position?

 

[islandears]

...don't focus on your resume too much...theyll probably ask more about your beliefs about what they do and your knowledge of the job

I also applied for the Animal Technologies Internship and I know not everyone gets an interview, but I haven't heard anything from them since I had to turn in all of my information via email. Do you have any idea why they may be wanting to interview you in particular? Good luck!

 

[packwingfn]

What is your major? Mine is Computer Information Systems. I believe I have some strong skills and abilities but I'm not sure if thats why they chose me or not. Don't give up, they may have just started interviewing people and may choose you in a week or 2.

 

[sneekypeeks]

thanks man. Are you currently down there? and what other PIs did you apply for? list them if you need to.

I only applied for the sports management. I want to do the CP before I do the PI. I will be doing the CP for the fall of 2009 and will be applying for DVC sales assistant, HR, and marketing for the Spring of 2010.

Hope all goes well with those still waiting.

I am under the assumption that you must do a CP before the Pro Inter? Is that true? I have my MBA, 23 years old, and have ample experience. This would be perfect. Would love to do one. I am already signed up for the CP but just wondering what I can expect after that if I wanted to do a pro-i?

 

[sneekypeeks]

Some PI's you don't have to do the CP for. It will say in the job description if you have to have done it or not.

Mine is Media Arts (which deals with everything computer-based). You are probably more of what they are looking for. I think that I am more qualified for the other PI I applied for... I sent in my portfolio for the Communication Planning: Graphic Design/Journalism and they wanted to interview me 3 days later. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon!
Good luck to you!!!

 

[packwingfn]

I think they are looking for someone that has the basic technical skills but I'm sure they are more interested in finding someone that has the better non-technincal skills than anything. I still wouldn't give up on it yet. I will let you know how my interview goes tomorrow.

I haven't heard back from the Communication Planning: Graphic Design/Journalism Intern yet. They said they would be interviewing people until the 10th.
Yes, I did apply for the Travel Industry Marketing Creative Development Intern, too. I turned in my electronic portfolio, sent in my application via mail and have only had my pre-screening interview. Haven't heard anything since.
Thanks for the compliment about my artwork.
I probably have as much contact info as you do...

Hi, all. New to the forum here. What a great site. I can't find much information on the professional internship stuff out on the web. This site is great. I applied to the graphic design/journalism job. I first got an email with a conformation number and a phone number to call telling me to call and leave a message with my phone number and confirmation number. I did that then I got call asking me to take a short interview. All the interview asked me was if I would adhere to the Disney guidelines and what not and if I had any visible tattoos or anything like that. Eh I was ready to actually do a interview. Anyway the women over the phone said I should here from someone within 4-6 weeks! Such a long wait. Anyway just wondering if anyone else had to do this sort of phone interview? I remember filling that stuff out in a questionnaire when I applied. Weird. And once again Hi to all.

 

[Berlioz70]

Yep - that's the called the screening interview; nearly everyone does it!

 

[dopeyrunner]

Anyway the women over the phone said I should here from someone within 4-6 weeks! QUOTE]

I did the pre-screen phone call the other day and yup I have a tattoo, though its on my calf and you can't see it when I wear pants or boots with my skirts. It was my post Disney Rebellion though I have worked at Disney with cast that had tattoos. Anyways why 4-6 weeks, I was schedule for an interview for the same week. Which happens to be tomorrow and I am excited and a little nervous. Did they give you a reason why 4-6 weeks?

 

[wakyzachy]

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.
