who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[wakyzachy]

I also applied for the Communication Plainning: Graphic Design/Journalism internship, but on the GD side of it. They told me during my phone interview that they would be interviewing people until the 10th (this Friday!) and that there are wanting to fill 8 spots. At least one intern needs to go to each area. We probably won't be hearing anything for anther week or two, so don't freak!

Yea I applied for the Graphic design part too. I also heard about interviewing people until the 10th. Good luck to you. We need to keep each other updated.

Thank you! My PI is Animal Programs- Conservation Education Presenter. My offer said something about be confidential. So I'll just say the pay is inbetween $9 -$10. Hope everyone else hears back soon!

Has anyone ever applied or done any professional internships in North Hollywood, CA?

Those internships aren't part of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts (memory serve me right, they're with things like The Walt Disney Studios (Corporate), Disney Consumer Products, ABC, and Walt Disney Feature Animation, right?).

They have their own application process and internal culture that is different than the one we use for WDP&R Professional Internships.

As such, most of the information here doesn't apply to them, or only does so in a coincidental manner.

Did you get a preliminary phone call though? I haven't head anything at all and I'm getting worried because they are only interviewing until Friday...and I'm sure they would call me first to set up an interview time so I'm hoping that happens before Friday!!!

No, I think that was the actual final interview. I was on a speaker phone in front of a committee of several people. They were taking notes of my answers and stuff. I applied on Wednesday March 11th, sent in my portfolio via Express FedEx, it arrived to them Tuesday morning March 17th, they called me to set up an interview that Friday March 20th and I had my interview March 23rd. I think it went really well. I'm not sure why they haven't contacted you. When did you apply?

so does anyone know how it works if u get an offer from multiple pi's??? I know i'm getting a little ahead of myself....but i just saw that they posted management pi's which im really interested in....so im just wondering what if i get on offer from one of the ones that i applied for months ago.....would i be able to accept, then accept a management one later???Or can i only accept one? which in that case i would have to accept whichever one they offer first cause i don't think i could risk it....thanks

Disney is messing with my mind!! I feel like all I ever think about is PIs as it is, and now they post the one I originally wanted to apply for- Management-Front Office.

Amanda, I was wondering the same thing as you about accepting multiple positions- I feel like it has to because Recruiting knows what you've applied for and should be understanding about it, but I don't know.

Also, the Ticketing people were soooo nice- I was happy they called me. It's not my top choice, but the more interviews the better!

 

[amy85]

steph--- I feel like we are completely the same!!! lol all i think about are pi's and front desk manager is the one that i originally wanted too!!! I'm not sure how its all gonna work out but i went ahead and applied for the front desk one and the housekeeping one....however front desk is def my first choice!!!

and yes the ticketing ppl are so so nice....i sent them an email cause i had a few questions, and wanted to say thanks....and i got an email back today that sd that they will def be in touch with me soon!!!! so i think thats a good sign...but idk everything just confuses me

Hi guys! I am new to this forum, but i have been reading this thread for quite a few days now. I was just wondering if anyone has applied to any technical/engineering PI's? I applied for a few, but still havent heard back. Just last week I got an email asking me to fill out the online application - on Workbench, but neither did I get a confirmation nor did they ask me to mail it in or anything. However, I dont think I should be too worried about that since it just has an "update" link on workbench- and not the you-still-have-to-fill-this-out link. (lol) However, I am concerned that I have not even had a screening interview as yet. I had applied early march. Just wanted to see if anyone out there had gotten any response from any of the engineering internships and if so, what kind. Thanks and good luck to all of you.

HALLELUJAH for the management internships!!! I applied for retail (again), so I'm hoping I have a good chance since I made it so far through the process last semester and now have a merch CP under my belt.

As far as the multiple PIs, I've heard that casting sometimes holds the offers to call you at once with them, but also that if you accept and a better one comes along, you can switch. I'm wondering how it works with a CP to PI situation...if my extension comes through, it starts on 5/17, but the PIs don't start until 6/19, so if they are running late like last semester, I could be into my extension before knowing about a PI...

I haven't heard anything from the Travel Industry Marketing Creative Development internship, either. Who knows what they're doing over there...

I applied March 11 as well...I FedExed my writing samples the next morning because it said the deadline was March 13 so I figured that meant the portfolios needed to be in at the same time. I haven't heard anything though so I'm hoping I get a call by tomorrow!!

Does anyone have the PI contact phone number? I really should be asking about when we will be notified, as if its going to be as late as everyone says, I may already be down there for Summer Alumni. Ive heard they dont let you switch once you've already started one program.

Oh that's a hard find. I actually had a live number from a Disney employee from the PI. Two days later I called the same number back on 2 different phones and Verizon said it was disconnected. Yes I checked the number a million times. 1-407-828-4114 will get you a recording that you can leave a message. Good luck with anyone calling you back because its been almost a week since I left my message. Its hard to get in touch with the mouse.
