who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[denalii]

I already saw that someone from my school got the animal program internship I applied for. So decisions have already been made in the chemistry department.

I don't see why they can't just send out the automated rejection emails sooner. I always need closure, even when I'm pretty sure it's over. lol...

hey, i have been looking around this board and others but do not post much. However i wanted to say good luck to everyone out there waiting to hear about a PI, i know first hand the nerves about waiting to hear and than trying to arrange everything..... you all are in my thoughts!!! Good Luck and hope you hear soon!!!!!!!

 

[namara87]

now I have been re-evaluating the Merch MI, now remind me the namara and graygables both got the position, but did anyone only apply this semester and get it yet?

I'm wondering (for more shakes/and hope that there is still a chance)...that they have only gone through all the qualified people that applied last time and now are looking at the newbies aka the peeps that applied this semester...

hmmmm...

Yeah, I don't think that anyone who has interviewed this season has been offered yet...at least not for Retail MI. I checked the FB group, and I'm not seeing anyone has been offered/accepted for retail if they interviewed this season. Hope that calms your nerves some. I just don't think any offers have gone out yet.

I know of a few people who have been offered the positions, so the calls are being made. Just don't know how many they're looking for.

Good luck though! Still have a few days.

Hmmm. I was offered the position, but I interviewed last semester/season. As we all know, the majority of MI positions were frozen for Spring '09. So myself, along with a few other people on this board, were offered positions for Fall 09, w/o re-interviewing. I thought all offers that went out for Retail MI so far, were to those who interviewed last semester. Maybe I'm wrong.

Anyway, to everyone still waiting...good Luck, and I hope you find out soon.

Tell us something we didn't know....

what did you son apply for again? MI in food and bev or merch or something else just curious? and wish him luck too...

thats a ridiculous amount of time for a response too in my opinion

 

[Rufio]

well for the rest of us that have to wait and have been playing the ultimate waiting game/going crazy/loosing marbles/dying from lack of pixie dust here is some news that will make you loose it...

just called recruiting asked if i could have contact information to the "leadership" thats still reviewing my application/portfolio but of course cannot do that.

then asked again when we will know-when could we possibly get rejected...

she says JUNE 1ST-----what the %&*^#%(#! JUNE 1ST she told me is the final of all final decisions of the offering process. SHE also stated that there will be no matter what rejection emails going out on that date or mostly likely prior to that.

JUNE 1ST. whats another insane 25 days???!&*%*^

that shakes have just grown into a monstrous disease.

im sorry to everyone still waiting.

she says JUNE 1ST

So is that how long we're going to have to wait to find out about housing? Or will they decided sooner? I would hope they wouldn't wait that long...

This doesn't help you guys at all... but I think the process in Casting is the SLOWING everything down.

We know who we are hiring (and it happens to be someone I'm connected to on-line through DIS/livejournal), we made the decision last week. I can't say anything so I keep waiting for he/she to contact me and let me know they got the position. My guess is the offer hasn't gone out... which is frustrating because the entire team knows who the job is going to.

I'm so sorry you all have to wait so long, but please don't be mad at the areas. I'm not sure everything Casting has to do.

 

[packwingfn]

Well for Animal Programs Internships. I am still sticking May 11st as the Final date according to the E-Mail I received from them whether or not they accept or reject you.

 

[islandears]

LOL June 1st....I'm currently living on a friends couch till I know exactly where I'll be....I can't wait till june 1st....
plus dont they start on the 9 or the 19th? that's not much time to find housing, get plane ticets and move now is it?

 

[Berlioz70]

Last year a series of PIs found out exactly two weeks before check-in, so it's been done.

 

[packwingfn]

Well it will be worth the wait for the people who get the PIs, even if they dont get it till June 1st. It just stinks for those who are waiting that long and don't get accepted.

 

[Roxyorca]

People need a bigger window that. I really hope we don't find out two weeks before.

im slightly confused but...
so this position is in casting im assuming?
and are you only speaking of the casting department when you state that you guys have already made the decision?
but how long are you waiting to tell him/her?

No, the position is the OL&D Animal Programs internship.

We have told casting who we want... they are the ones that call and make the offer, we're not allowed to. So who knows when the person will be contacted - that's what I find interesting.

I assume casting has to file appropriate paper work or something along that line, which is why the process gets slowed down?

I recieved an offer for a PI in the middle to end of april. I know that when I talked to the department I would be working in, after recieving the offer, they were confused that it took two weeks for casting to contact me. They did mention that with all the restructuring their contact with casting was laid off and they were left out of the loop regarding when I would be contacted. I know it is frustrating, but in the end it will be worth the wait.

Again I wish everyone the best of luck and stick in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
