The Official Spring 2010 PI Thread

[vamoose27]

I'm assuming the first time you did it you hadn't graduated yet??? I think if you want to use it to get back in with the company and network to get to the area you would like to be in then it would still be worthwhile since you thought the job was okay. The job markets tough right now so you may want to take any opportunity offered to you. I guess it also depends on if you have backup plans or not.

I know right now I would say I would not want to repeat my last PI, but if it were actually offered to me and I had nothing else lined up the decision might be harder. I'm definitely one person who is not jealous of the decision you have in front of you though! I feel like I would be a little disappointed in that situation...maybe not as much as getting nothing, which is what it looks like I may be getting, but it'll all work out I'm sure!!! Good luck making your choice!!

Yea, I did my last PI from June 08 to Jan 09, and I'll be graduating next month. I really don't have anything else lined up, and haven't even applied for anything as I expected to hear back from PIs much sooner.

I think I might take it just as an opportunity to perhaps apply myself a little better than I did the first time, and make some money of course. Now I just have to find roommates who want to live with me and my puppy, ugh. So much stress I didn't see coming.

Last Friday I accepted my PI. the Recruiter who offered me the positon said that there would be an e-mail coming to me soon and I have yet to receive it? I called and left her a voice mail with my e-mail address and still have not received it... has anyone else run across this problem?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I dont know how many spots they have for this role, but my friend accepted the Youth Events PI early this month...

They typically have 10 interns, because that's how many it takes to run the festivals.

you sound like me!! I did my first PI the same semester and I graduate next month! I also could have applied myself better, and if I wind up getting an offer I'll have to find roommates for myself and my pup too...I'll let you know if I happen to get one...losing hope!

 

[stephshine]

Same, I haven't seen anyone say they had any offers in any of the groups for those PIs... so i haven't lost all hope yet. I remember for my CP they were almost a month late in sending my acceptance letter so.... lets hope.

found someone in an fbook group that got the CP event planning internship. losing hope! that was my top choice out of the alumni positions...but she doesn't talk like she's an alum so its confusing! I've missed a private number call and an unknown number call a week apart and now its almost been another week without a call. I was really hoping one of those was an offer, but if so they sure do take their time to call back!!! maybe I should call casting???

I know this won't help - but when casting called me to offer my PI I wasn't able to answer the phone, they did leave a message and a number to call back. So if you didn't get a message than it probably was not casting.

Hi I'm looking for one roommate. It will be cheaper than patterson and please just look at my previous posts for the details (if i remember correctly it will come to 485/person with all utilities included). Although I may take the master and if i do i feel like i should pay more which would make it even cheaper. Contact me if your interested and I'll give you more information. -mike

are there people who still haven't heard from their PI's and MI's yet? what happens if the 28th passes and we still haven't heard anything? should we call someone or just give up?

has anyone heard from Catering Management Internship or Youth Events? is anyone still waiting to hear about these too?

I am alone with you and I haven't heard of anything since my screen interview. I applied for two alumni positions and two financial positions.

Do we just wait even if it passes the 28th and we still haven't heard anything? Do you know if there is someone we can call to find out? Are you worried? Because I am super worried!

I wouldn't give up yet. They often run behind on these things.

Hey guys hang in there...Even though the 28th is tomorrow I think Casting/Recruiting is closed for the holiday today because I tried calling them to check on a conformation e-mail issue and no one picked up. the third time I called I finally got the voice mail and left a message for College Recruiting.

Hey all!

I'm new to these boards. Got rid of my facebook for a myriad of reasons. But I will be living at Patterson this spring as I just got accepted as a PI with DVC Sales at Saratoga. I didn't know if anybody else here had gotten this position! Anyway, I look forward to meeting you all once we get down there!

 

[jaclyncatherine]

Thank you so much I'm trying not to give up but its hard. I'm just worried that it will get so far down to the last minute that I wont be able to find housing there and my lease here is up this month too.

Oh gosh. Well goodluck to those still waiting to hear too!

I understand you. I have problem too. Because I am not US citizen, I have to apply the EAT card to work for disney. The progress wil take more than one month and I have to make my dicision now. In addition, if I have not been selected, I need to buy my airline ticket to go back home. The price keeps going up these days and there is no time for me left!

There is only one thing I want to know: Will you receive a rejection E-mail if you are not selected? Because in my country some of the recruting teams will only let you know when they select you. I don't want to wait for a e-mail that actually does not exist!

In the end, just be patient. Every time when you apply for a job you need to wait for a very long time. That is the way people do things in real society.

bummerama!!! someone else told me she has friends who didn't get messages, but oh well.

I haven't heard yet, either. I never even had a screening interview, since I'm not a CP alum. But when I called a little over a week ago, she said I was still being considered for the costumer PI. I just want to know!
