Hi :wave:
I actually applied a few months ago, on a whim. I applied for the Wedding Coordinator Internship and it states in the Requirements that you must have completed the WDW College Program. I have not done the College Program, so I wasn't expecting a reply for this internship but to my surprise, I received an email from the department asking me to call them. I called and they said I was being considered for the Wedding Coordinator Internship and asked if I could schedule a phone interview. I was shocked ... how am I even being considered for this internship, since I have done the College Porgram? Any thoughts?
If it's this one:
"You are receiving this email because a position has become available within our company. To determine if you qualify for the position, you will need to complete an assessment. Please log in to the web site to complete this brief pre-employment evaluation."
That's the generic one that gets sent when anyone applies.
No offense, but I don't believe DisneySaint meant anything like that by his previous post. He was just stating that this was a standard e-mail sent to all applicants.Listen, I just tried to start this thread for anyone who wants to come and talk about the Professional Internships. There isn't a lot of information out there, and I figured we could gather all information and talk about it here. It is just my way of talking to other people that are interested in the same thing that I am.
As I stated in my last post, I was just bumping this up for anyone else. I also said that I had gotten a request for an application. Yay for everyone who received that email (since everybody who applies does)....I didn't mention anywhere in there that I expected to get a call back or that I expect to get an internship. I dont. However, any extra step in the process is exciting to me. I am very excited to have even gotten a first interview and have my information passed onto the departments. I was told that not everybody got a first interview because there were over 5,000 applicants. I dont have CP alumni status nor do I think I am the most qualified, but I do think I have a chance and I am excited to have even gotten an interview (whether everybody gets one or not).
I understand that you are trying to keep me or anyone else who has applied, in your opinion, almost no chance (unless they don't have enough applicants) from getting our hopes up and getting them smashed later on in the process, but to me it's coming across a little strong.
I wanted to start this for support.
I'd rather not talk about the interview other than to say it's basically an expanded CP interview and the questions are about who you are and not what you've done (i.e. time management, teamwork, etc.)
And from what I've been told my essentially everyone I know who works at Disney, getting into the one's that do not require CP alumni status is still extremely rare and basically reserved in case there are not enough applicants. Like someone stated earlier (not sure if it was in this thread and, frankly, too lazy to look back) - being a CP alum > anything else you could say/do.
