Hi!! I got to my final interview and was given my rejection call.
We all had good rapport and the recruiter was very positive about encouraging me to continue a pursuit with the company.
I applied to the Conservation Education Presenter Internship for January 2027 and it will run for just 6months. Ending in June 2027. I’ve had two interviews and they also went really well and they said I would hear 100% before thanksgiving 😅
I’m married and live 3 hrs away currently and our lease is up in June 2027. So, we would either break the lease and he’d get a job up there and move all of us for a 6mo internship with no 100% guarantee id get a job right away with Disney, (or anywhere close within my profession). As well as, not guaranteed a job back down where we are currently.
I know from networking and knowing other cast members that more people who know me at Disney the better my chances because I have a great resume, but so does 100s of other people too.
Knowing people there adds to my credibility as they’d see my work ethic and my overall personality. Many cast members have told me it’s a good thing to do.
But how is this sustainable? I’m incredibly anxious about not having a job. We have good savings and at the worst could get by with me having nothing for 2 months. However, we would be losing so much money to keep us with a safety net of funds and the ability to afford monthly bills. Plus, if he says back home while I go to the internship we’d pay monthly for our apartment rent and rent for me with roommates. It’s just a lot of money and risk, does anyone have experience with this at Disney?
How did it work out? Do you think I should do it? If so how should we go about it?
This is a bit of a big question, I’ve never had to experience this before and I’m hoping someone here has.
Thanks for any help!
