Hey there! This is Daughter D! So a little about me, I am a recent college grad and I am applying for a few Fall 2013 Disney Professional Interships (PIs). The internet is really lacking on resources concerning Disney PIs and I figured I'd blog a bit about my process thus far. I have applied for a few PIs; they are mostly in Agriculture Science and Animal Programs(AP) (I have found even less info about science related PIs so maybe my posts will help someone out there!).
My process began with my applications on DisneyCareers.com. It is fairly quick to apply to the positions. You upload a resume and fill out some general information about you, like your education and work history. I submitted my applications mid-February. Then I received direct emails from the Ag. Sci. and AP people requesting more info. The AP email was freaky because it said I must submit all my additional material within 24hrs! Luckily I had almost all of it ready to go since the job description listed what else you'd need to submit to be considered.
Since doing this, my progress on my Disney Dashboard (here's a great explanation of the dashboard) has moved from "Submission" to "In Progress" for most of my applications. This is apparently a really good thing. It means you made it past the initial screening and you are not "No Longer In Consideration" (NLIC is heartbreaking!). I have heard from previous applicants that as far as they knew, if you went In Progress for a position you would eventually move to "Interview Stage". Hopefully that is true.
Now while other applicants for Management Internships and perhaps more business related internships are getting screening phone interviews and 2nd phone interviews already, I believe the science groups are just hanging out. For now. Applications close March 8th. And I think after that, they may begin to schedule phone interviews. But I have no idea! I can only hope!
