Congrats! When did you apply? and how long did it take before you received an initial phone call?

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

I wish I had some contact info for the finance department. I have one contact for EPCOT finance, but I don't believe she has anything to do with PI recruitment.

Sadly though, my hope is dying off day by day. The shakes are getting the best of me I guess.

I applied way back in March, got the prelim, phone interview, had a second screening interview by March 24th, and was offered the position today. I never formally interviewed with Guest Relations. So it's been quite a while.

Yep, still playing the waiting game. Oh so patient...

Still nothing here for Animal Technology Internship...

Anyone else receive any acceptances for any Animal Programs PIs yet?

Glad to see some people got phone calls today!

 

[islandears]

Animal Program peeps

I sent an email asking if it made sense checking on my workbench to monitor my status during the process..

the reply:

"That is not correct. We close the internships on the web sight once we feel we have enough qualified applications.....
.....We are still trying to reach the goal of notifying everyone by May 1st."

I;m pretty sure that kind of email is not confidential and I think it might help us rest a bit easier....

 

[packwingfn]

Do you think it matters if I call or email them myself? Maybe show that I'm still interested or do you think it would be bothering them and just take it that i'll get the same response that islandears received abut the Animal Programs?

 

[islandears]

I kind of got the impression they are SWAMPED...by the tone of the rest of the email.....plus i sent that email 2 days ago and got a reply 10 mins ago so the sheer time it took to get a reply indicated how much work they have to do
I would hold off....till May 1st

What PI was the interview for?

CP Education coordinator. If anyone knows the interviewer's last name (first was brian), I'd love to send him a thank-you email for the opportunity to interview. my professors all told me to do that today when i told them about my interview so i think i should

was that concerning just the DAK PIs or the overall recruiting deadline?

 

[Rufio]

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

way back when I was a cp in 2006, at the very end of my program I networked with managers then other PIs in the magic kingdom. After a few meetings I wanted some excutive perspective. I actually emailed all excutives that i knew of from Bob Iger (his email was sent back saying unauthorized) Phil Holmes, and Al Weis. One of those two got it and sent it to the next man down I believe which was Dan when he was head of merchandise in Magic Kingdom. It was an amazing experience. So I would tell you to network like crazy!! or ask anyone you know down there to help with contacts.

I have been meaning to contact him but was going back and forth with it until I just had to contact him since the PI process was taking so long. My old managers and friends helped me though it before sending the final copy/email.

If you can find out his last name, I think sending him a thank you email is a great idea. But, I would also send him a hand written thank you note, that is a must-do after an interview! But do both that way your email will get there before the decision is made, incase the handwritten one doesnt.
