who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[Ace215]

sorry if i asked you this already but...
when did you do your interview and how long til you got the offer?
thanks and CONGRRRAT!
the mouse is alive!!!

Thanks!! I actually applied and interviewed during the last term right before the economy meltdown. A lot of applicants were shut down and disney cut off a lot of openings. But if I can remember, I applied in august, 1st phone interview in september, and in-person interview in october. I waited the longest for the phone interview and the 2nd interview came about 4-5 weeks after. So I was kind of a rollover on a waiting list. I noticed that another person who applied the same time as me last term, also was offered a position this term.
Did you apply for the same PI or something else?

ok im trying to post but i dont see it....

ok the point is how long have most people had to wait for an offer?

emily was 5 days...graygables was like eight months -ish? haha--
but what other times? is there an average or do you think its random disney pickin still?

 

[Rufio]

namara was the other mousekateer but she did one last semester too i think...

[namara87]

Nope, this is my first PI. I interviewed last semester when the freeze went into effect...then I got the call last week with an offer. I did do two CP's though...SA '06 and Fall '07.

Good luck tomorrow for everyone waiting for calls!

 

[Rufio]

Good luck tomorrow for everyone waiting for calls!

yes let thew phone calls begin....
let disney rally up and hopefully they will sweep every last one of the waiting disBoarders!!

 

[MegaraRocks!]

Hopefully the Disney Shakes will be over for all of us this week! I heard somewhere that all the rejections and offers have to be out by May 1st is that true?

that make me so frickin shakey if thats true!!
attack of the shakes

so who informed you about this? and i hope someone has a answer to that great question

I'm pretty sure that was just speculation (or perhaps PI specific). I know when I scheduled my interview, they were interviewing until tomorrow. And there are many internships that no one has heard ANYTHING about. I think we'll still be hearing for another week after this.

My interview is in two hours and 17 minutes (not that I'm counting down). Shakes x about 1000000 right now...

 

[bonbon]

just had my interview. He didn't mention exactly when we would find out, although I did find out they are hiring 4 PIs. I got soooo nervous and completely stopped midsentance at one point I'm a tad worried about that, but I told him I was a little nervous and he laughed and said it was all right. He seemed to like me, although my nerves got the better of me I think.

Good luck to all other interviewees!

let's hope so! rufio have you had any interviews yet? There's so many of us disboarders that i'm losing track of who has had offers and who is still in the same boat as me not getting a single call yet.

I just want the shakes to come to an end!!

i have had only one interview besides the prelim, and my 2nd interview was for retail management and two people already got it on here that i know of...

my shakes are jiving like crazy...
I got desparate...so...
I sent a request and my resume and the ID numbers to the vp or pres of EPCOT Dan Cockerell and he told me he would send it to the right people...and said good luck.

so that was my last fight for winning this waiting game!

what a battle of patience and insanity... this internship

that was a great idea...how did you get his contact info?? I'm trying to find someone to contact for the Communications Planning PI but i've searched everywhere and I can't find a contact. I tried looking on the Hub too but I couldn't find much. I guess I'll just have to continue playing the waiting game

One valuable lesson gained from applying for PIs... how to be extremely patient.
