who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[MegaraRocks!]

For those of you that lived at Alexandria, is that Alexandria Parc Vue or another place? Also, did you live there alone or with a roomate in an apartment bigger than a one bedroom? I'm just curious because I'm not sure what I will be able to afford - is this all doable on the Disney salary? I have two pets that I will be bringing, and other bills outside of what I will have down there. If you don't mind sharing, what are the utility bills like?

I lived at Parc Vue and I know that the pet deposit was monthly, im pretty sure anyway. My roommates had a big dog. The rent was 1200 a month (which includes the disney cast member discount) for a three bed room, but there was four of us. I guess if thats affordable it depends on your salary. I have to say though that electricity was pretty high there because of the dryer. I recommend the portal for affordable housing.
Hope this helps. if you have anymore questions let me know.

I applied for the Animal Kingdom Education positions. I've been accepted into the college program, so either way I'll get to work with Disney (but I really want the PI!!!!)

I'm sure you'll do great in the interview Best of luck!

I am doing the same, what role did you get for CP?

BUT Big news is that 2 of my friends who applied have heard about thier positions BOTH GOT OFFERS YAY!!!! So the calls have began, so keep your Disney Shakes in check just alittle longer lol.

Just for FYI: one got an offer for DVC Sales Assistant and one from MGMT Front Desk

Congrats to them! I've decided to NOT check my email or phone too often, so hopefully the shakes won't be that bad this week.
I was accepted for merchandise, starting August 19--how about you?

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!

hey everyone! so i began posting when the PI's first started going up back in february, i applied for 4 and heard NOTHING! i kind of gave up and recently started reading through again and learned that a lot of us were in the same boat. i was excited when they posted the management PI's, i applied for the F&B one, and i just finished my phone interview. now i am really nervous to hear back! overall i think it went well, it was very fast paced, but i felt prepared for the questions i was asked, i just don't want to get my hopes up too soon! so for those of you who have not heard yet, do not give up hope! there is still time! good luck to everyone, and congrats to those who already have offers!

i want guest relations too!! but i still have not heard anything. im guessing they have already made their choices for that.

but how well did the interview go? did they like you?

 

[taeclarke]

So I was holding out on calling the Job Hotline but I am stressed. I finally gave in and called and I was told I was still going through the process however I don't really think they have that much information over there. I was rejected for the sports complex management position a while ago and she said I was still listed as being in the running for that.

In any case, the call did abate my stress levels slightly but I'm still experiencing the shakes... Good luck to the rest of you who are in the same boat and have yet to hear anything. Good news is that May 1st is approaching so it can't be too much longer...

Rufio, I really wanted GR too but I've seen quite a few posters say they've been offered positions so I kind of feel the same way you do. They've probably made all the decisions for that role already.

Regardless, good luck and pixie dust on your interview this week. I'm sure they'll love you. Btw what position are you interviewing for?

The internships were posted through last Friday and they are doing all of the interviews today and tomorrow??? Hope that doesn't mean that those laggards (none of whom I will mention by name) that didn't get their applications in until Friday will be overlooked...

I had my F&B management interview this morning. . .

I think it went well. It was 2 interviews kinda. I met with two managers one of which was from MK and one from the studios, and they had a list of questions, then I met with another two, one i know is from epcot, and I just would assume the other is from DAK. and they had an entirely different set of questions.

I couldn't tell you what they asked me though, it seems like a blur that went by this morning.

they said they have more people to interview, and I'm pretty sure decisions will be made by the end of the week. they also said that they aren't the ones that decide, casting does that and will make a formal offer. which is interesting i guess.

Lauraebeth, did you interview in person?

I talked to one of my previous managers over the weekend who did a retail MI about three years ago. She said the process can be very long, even when they posted the applications in February. She said she applied in February, had 5 interviews in a week and halfs time in middle April, and didn't receive an offer until May. I am hoping that this means I still have time to get an interview seeing as how I haven't had ONE interview for any of the positions I applied for!

Good luck to everyone with interviews in the next few days though! And good thoughts to those who are waiting to hear about offers!

wow...im proud to know you! frick- that must have been slightly intense-
so you felt good about your answers and results from the interview at least??

i pray and wish for the best for you!
man that is crazy!

oh how long was each interview? and how long did they say to hear back from them?

 

[kristilovesdw]

Another day has gone by without a call from Disney... booooo! I've gotta get serious with school and finals coming up so I'm going to try and pry myself away from this site (try being the key word) for awhile. I have a feeling this will be a good week Good luck to everyone!

Yes, in person. and I think it'll be a MUCH faster process for this semester. I'll possibly hear something by the end of the week.

uh, idk i didn't look at my watch, i just know i started @ 9:20 and I was out by 9:50. so overall time would be 30 minutes.

and I think my answers were good. but we'll see what they think. And, my fingers are still crossed for retail management. that interview is wednesday morning!

 

[einahpets126]

For those who have accepted positions, did you receive the paperwork you need to complete by email? How long did it take to recieve the paperwork? I accepted on Friday and just assume they would send the paperwork I need to complete ASAP, but I haven't gotten it yet.

 

[dopeyrunner]

So I just got off the phone with a very happy casting person. She seemed so excited that I picked up the phone, though I am sure I was way more happy then she was.
Anyways, I just recieved my background check paperwork via email and I have to email it or fax it back today. This must be a good sign

 

[Emily6]

laurabeth- i had a list of questions i wanted to ask my interviewers, but i totally forgot one of the most important ones...how many positions are available in F&B? i was wondering if they had happened to tell you or if you had asked. Thanks so much, keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

 

[lea509]

i want guest relations too!! but i still have not heard anything. im guessing they have already made their choices for that.

but how well did the interview go? did they like you?

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! (smile)

The internships were posted through last Friday and they are doing all of the interviews today and tomorrow??? Hope that doesn't mean that those laggards (none of whom I will mention by name) that didn't get their applications in until Friday will be overlooked...

I think they just went for who they wanted - based on recommendations and resumes, not to be rude or anything (swear), I mean, I am not even sure how they called me, considering I never applied!

For those who have accepted positions, did you receive the paperwork you need to complete by email? How long did it take to recieve the paperwork? I accepted on Friday and just assume they would send the paperwork I need to complete ASAP, but I haven't gotten it yet.

I received it via snail mail, I got my red book this week and I had accepted on the 10!

I really hope everyone hears back soon, and I want to know who else will be plaid! As of now, I only know of me and someone on facebook accepting (epcot)! That means out of 6 positions (2-epcot and 4-mk) there may be up to 4 available...! Seriously, g'luck everyone!

ps anyone in boston, happy marathon monday!

 

[dopeyrunner]

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 ?
