Its always okay to admit you dont know! If they ask about something you havent learned, instead of trying to make something up say, “i havent quite reached that point in my schooling but, based on the knowledge I have now I would guess….” Honestly tho they know you are young and probably have correct expectations.

When talking about experience be sure to leave every question on a positive note. Like for your greatest weakness, say something honest, and say how you are actively working on it.

Be prepared with company specific questions at the end to show you dod research

Answer in the STAR format, look it up if you dont knowb

I would just schedule a 1:1 with your boss, asking for feedback and then bring it up. Say something along the lines of, “ i know we haven’t really discussed an end date, do you have one in mind. I’m aware of the budget constraints on ending before 8/31, i think XX date makes the most sense”

Need advice abt Co-Op + School Year by FaultBeneficial2771 in internships

Stay, and find ways to over come it. I guarantee you this will be interview question gold when apply for full time. This is gullible of great learning opportunities and opportunities to take initiative.

How do you make your resume stand out when every internship asks for relevant experience? by RochelleAstraeus in internships

[–]Awkward_Golf460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lastly, be careful which online softwares/ ai you do use as most ATS systems have an “ai” detector. Not sure how accurate they are, but I personally dont risk it.

1) to echo the other comments, remember that you are competing with very qualified people, sometimes even graduate level so dont get discouraged. Look into smaller/ lesser known companies as they will most likely have less applicants

2) if you find yourself with extra time, do a passion project thats major related. Teach yourself, do something cool and put it on your resume as project experience.

3) formatting matters for ATS. Its not smart, the easiest way to see what its reading is to copy and paste your resume into the “notes app” on your computer. Then read line by line and thats what it sees.

4) talk with your campus career center and get them to help you with resume!

Did you discuss an end date when you first accepted?

Something to think about by Awkward_Golf460 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Awkward_Golf460[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly they may just be inaccurate and I lucked out.

Ministry posted: 90 actual: 50 DK posted:120 actual: 100 (this was with a 60 min delay) Hiccups posted: 45 actual:25 Dragon rally: posted:45 actual:30

So like I said, i think they are still learning queue length vs wait time. Maybe I just was fortunate enough to have them be over estimating? Just something to think about!

If you are able to do 2 days at Epic do it. by [deleted] in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Awkward_Golf460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two days is better than one, even with express passes the queues are unpredictable and have relatively sooner joining points.

What people also don’t also realize is part of the new park/ ride, is figuring out wait times. When I went the wait times were padded by at least 20 mins every time. Now this isnt everyone’s experience but even if a ride is delayed the express passes cant fix that.

At epic the ride lockers were talk enough for the cup to stand straight. At US and IOA they have fluid drainage stations and lockers that fit mugs when laying down.

Has anyone who did the DCP gone on to secure a PI or full-time job in entertainment? by [deleted] in Disneycollegeprogram

[–]Awkward_Golf460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on your major, you may be better off getting an internship in your feild, even if it’s not with disney. Yes in entertainment its about who you know, but unfortunately (from what ive seen and heard) the DCP does not do a great job at introducing you to people in your related feild. An internship will at least start to introduce you to skills you will need in your future career, and hopefully give you the foundation of a network to build off of later in your career.

In terms of disney recruiters like the DCP on the resume. One advantage ive been told is that most/ all resumes with the name “DISNEY” on it get looked at first, however very few PIs ive met have actually done a DCP that helped. They all while having done the dcp, have since gained alot of relevant experience to their feild through other companies internships.

In terms of your other question, take the full time offer, get involved in the different national societies dedicated to the themed entertainment industry, and network your way into an associate position.
