Even though my CP might be over, I now have the opportunity to apply for Disney Professional Internships. I, along with all the other seniors at McDaniel have started our frantic after-graduation-job search. I am very excited to know that no matter what I will be going back to Florida to continue working in Walt Disney World, I also have not stopped searching for extra jobs. That led me to the Disney career website once again. I found, what I think, is the perfect internship for me. It is a internship helping write scripts for entertainment things in the parks. It's writing and entertainment all in one! It's basically a dream job!
So I sat down and reworked my whole resume and add in the jobs that I have had since my last edit. It was a much larger task than I anticipated but I know it'll be worth it. I made sure to meet with people in the Center for Experience and Opportunity to make sure that the changes I was making were actually making it better and more acceptable for a possible employer. I made sure to tailor my cover letter to highlight the skills Disney is looking for in this internship and I put together a portfolio of my strongest creative writing samples.
They also gave me a choice of two scenarios to give dialogue to. One was about Jack Sparrow and the other was about Flynn Rider and Rapunzel. I chose to work on the Rapunzel and Flynn scene because I know them better. I had to write a scene of them teaching children how to dance in the town square. I think it turned out well.
The last bit of the application was my transcript which the Registrar happily helped me with in order to get everything in on time. At this point, I know the Professional Internships are very hard to get so I do not want to get my hopes up. It would be fantastic to get this opportunity but I know that everything will work out the way it should I just have to have faith, trust, and pixie dust as Peter Pan would tell me.
Keep your fingers crossed for me, if you're looking to apply for a Professional Internship with Disney, go to their Disney Careers website to explore your options! They are also still taking applications for the College Program for Fall 2014.
Have a magical day, I know I am!
