Spring 2008 PI

[dispatch]

During my first interview, I was asked to rank my preference of the three positions I applied for. Was anyone else asked this? How did you answer? I ranked two as sharing the top position, but stressed the fact that I would love to be considered for all three. I'm worried that my answer may affect what departments actually got my application packet.

Also, on my DisneyJobs.com account, I have new applications. There are two, both of which are the same as the one I completed and mailed in. Do ya'll think there's a reason or just a computer glitch?

And last...

Thank you - you too!

I got an email recently that said they chose other candidates for 4 of the 6 positions I applied for. However, I also got a "Thank you for interviewing" email that said I was chosen to move on in the hiring process.

So maybe there is still hope for the other 2 positions?

What positions did you get the "other candidate" e-mail from?

I was asked which 3 internships (out of the ones I applied to) I was the most interested in. I didn't rank the 3, but I just listed them because I would be happy to get any position.

I think that the new applications that show up could be a computer glitch? Because as long as you completed the applications (and got the confirmation email afterwards), you wouldn't need to re-do them. You could call or email your interviewer and ask them why they are showing up.

Also, could you re-word your last question about the email? Sorry, I keep reading it and I'm having a hard time understanding it.

Oh, sorry! Since you said you received some e-mails saying they had chosen other candidates, I was wondering what positions those e-mails were in regards to (if you don't mind sharing, of course)...

I talk too much, and I promise I'll shut up after one more question. Situational example: I applied for three different positions within three different departments. If one department calls me, does that mean I am out of the running for the other two?

Nope, I know friends who have gotten offers for multiple internships.

Sent you a PM.

[BeenieFL]

Hey ZTA... I also applied for the same internship and have an interview on Friday as well!! Just wanted to say good luck, and I have no idea what questions are going to be asked!

 

[jcollins13]

Has anyone else applied for internships with Disney Design Group and have you heard anything yet?? I still haven't heard anything regarding the positions, no email, no phone call, and I'm starting to get a little worried.....

How do you think you did? And I forgot to ask when they will pick the interns. Did you ask or did they tell you an approx. date?

Also, Did you by any chance have your interview around 10:00?

 

[ZTA_WDW]

ZTA_WDW and BeenieFL,

I hope your interviews go well today!!

Thanks!

Well, I've found out that because I don't meet transfer guidelines, I was immediately overlooked. Whatever, screw you Disney. I just landed a job back home as a manager at Friendly's - no interview required. They read my resume, called the location I worked at for almost 3 years, and sent me an email saying "You've got a job when you come home. You were a great employee, and you'll be a great manager as well."

Eh, that's make or break for Disney, especially with attendance. They want a cast member who is reliable. I don't really think it's a matter of screw you Disney, they outline transfer guidelines clearly. I think they were even in our breakroom and office on the walls.

Thanks!

You're welcome! I hope it went well.

I am so nervous. Everyone is getting their second interview!!!
I know I haven't done CP, but I am a master's student, that should count for something right? Especially with ticket services, I have and currently work in a box office for 5 years. I'll keep you guys updated if I hear anything.

I think I did okay, some of the questions they asked I really did not know how to answer and the fact that I was really nervous. My interview was at 2:30 on friday.They told me they have interviews all this coming week as well, and we might not find out until mid-November, so it looks like more waiting. I hope you did well, I am still waiting to hear back from the other ones I applied for. I talked to someone today who applied for operations who has been called back for a second interview, so it seems as if many departments are starting to call people. Hope I hear something soon though.....

My attendance was only bad for the first month.. quite a few lates due to the bus system. Other than that, I've been on the ball about attendance. My record card has been clean for months now. I guess I'm just a little annoyed with how things are going at work right now.

Oh, and no, the transfer guidelines definitely are not posted at my location.. at least not in our area.

I'm real excited to be going home though, the job I was offered brings about great opportunity, as well as a nice salary and benefits. I'm thrilled about the benefits actually =)

Good luck to everyone else though! I hope you all land the positions you've applied for.

I have not heard anything from Disney, not even a call to be scheduled for an initial interview. Is anyone else in this situation?? I know I meet all the requirements so I’m really not sure what’s going on. Any advice?
