Great way to look at it! And here I was wanting to hear from others who applied for the same as me; how silly was I. Maybe I'm the only one and they are just waiting to let me know the great news becuase they think patience is an important virtue in a PI

Update: Guess I'm not the only one anymore, I applied for College ED Coordinator and Recruiting too Bonbon!

Haha oh believe me, I'm hoping that! But I wonder though if not alot of applicants apply, would the PI's be done away with this semester... I also would like to hear from past and/or present PI's that could share some info, just doesn't seem to be a popular area on here

Personally, as much as I'd like to think we are the only ones, I'm certain there are hundreds, or even thousands, who for some ungodly reason have not made their way onto these boards but have applied.

True, true! Paid internships are few and far between and I can't imagine a better company to work for (personally speaking, that is) so it wouldn't surprise me in the least to know that thousands upon thousands of people probably apply to these PI's. I'm sure that's why the decision progress is so long, there's just so many applicants to go through.

I only know of one other person on this board that applied for the recreation services intern, but on the phone they said they had a few more interviews to do. So there are others out there, they just aren't on the boards.

Best of luck to you both!

College Recruiting is amazing!

 

[Rufio]

I would love to have at least a pending or rejection letter or something to stop these shakes. Oh and its been over a month since I put in my application. I know they must have thousands of applications but they need to have better status updates.

haha! dito man!! thank god i got something for retail management....but i really want to know about the travel marketing creative etc etc.

 

[DwightKSchrute]

So where would you guys suggest/recommend staying? I'm not familiar with the Disney area at all so any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're looking for fully-furnished, I would suggest the Villas at Seven Dwarfs Lane. It is literally right down the road from Coral Cay.

If you're cool with unfurnished, check out Mirabella or Camden World Gateway. Both are close to property and pretty nice!

It looks like it, haha.

There are two websites it looks like: http://www.sevendwarfslane.com/ is the other.

It can be rented like Coral Cay. You'd have to find a realtor online who is renting short-term.

First I want to say congratulations to all of you who have gotten interviews. Rufio, I'm so excited for you,, good luck and pixie dust come time for your interview. I'm happy that so many of our fellow board members are having some luck getting through.

That being said, I'm beginning to get very discouraged. I saw on this thread and one the Facebook group that a number of people have gotten interviews and even gotten accepted for some of the positions I've applied for, including DVC Sales and Guest Relations. Meanwhile, I still haven't gotten a screening interview and another weekend is here with no news. This is so depressing...

I also got a call from a recruiter in Florida who saw my resume on career builder, and of course I got super excited because I thought it was the mouse calling. No such luck. And as it turns out the recruiter quickly changed her tune when she realized I did not live in Florida and would not be able to do an in person interview.

This really sucks and I hope I hear something next week. I think I'm finally going to break done and call the job hotline to make sure I'm still in the running.

Good luck to all of you who have been accepted, hopefully I can join the convo on housing choices soon...

I got an offer and accepted a position for the Front Office Management Internship today!!! I interviewed for it last season when they ended up cancelling the position, so I didn't have to interview again! I'm so excited!

Best of luck to all those with interviews coming up!

 

[DisSisters]

Congratulations Steph!

Do you remember what they asked you in your interview for front office?

Do it, call them. I am right there in the same boat as you and was feeling pretty depressed myself (not even a screening interview, I swear I'd be perfect for the job). But, I had always thought that I would not call because I'm sure they're busy, blah blah blah. But then I was thinking, this is my dream, people always say you can achieve your dreams, you just have to do something about it. Then I would think, I did do something about it, I applied, what else can I do until they call me and let me show them who I am and why they need me? That's when I realized, I just need to call, at least then I'm doing something. Even if the departments I want to be a part of never know of the call, I called.

The cast member who talked to me was very nice and helpfull. I explained that I was just really nervous as I know several have already had a few interviews and I hadn't even had a screening interview. If I'm out of the running, I would just like to know already so I can move on with my life and stop pushing my hopes up farther and farther (Afterall, it does say on the website, as they recieve numerous apps, not everyone will be contacted). She asked for my ss # and, after doing a bit of checking, told me I was still being considered. I'm sure all she did was look at my workbench to see if the jobs were still there (which they all still are), but it still made me feel assured to hear it from someone in professional recruiting.

Congratulations Steph!

Thank You!!

brad_vandyke12- I don't remember the questions exactly- but someone did post the questions they were asked and I do remember being asked those, including what does diversity mean to you and how do you relate to guests. Most are behavioral questions. Good luck with your interview!
