Viewing Job Descriptions After Applying

Job descriptions are not only useful when applying to a position, but they are great to reference during the application process. I always recommend looking at it/having it in front of you for each job interview. However, once a posting closes you might worry that you don't have access to it anymore. A question that always comes up every year is how to view the job descriptions after the positions have closed. When you apply it is easiest if you get into the habit of saving the descriptions so you can refer to them later, but if you forgot to save them or lost them, don't worry! There is a way to access them later!

When you first apply to a position when you go to your dashboard if you click on the position name it will take you to the job description. However, when the position closes, when you click on the link it will take you to a page that says the position has been closed or open another page with the dashboard. When this happens there is another way you have to go to get to the description. 

On the top of your dashboard you will see where is says "Resumes/CV" and a link that says "edit." Click on that link and it will take you to a page where your resumes and cover letters that you have submitted are stored. When you click on "View Submissions" a page will load that includes all of the jobs that you applied to using that resume. If you click on the job title on this page it will open the job description. Voila! There's that job description for you! 

Moving Back to Florida

ahhhh! I have big news! I am moving back to Disney World! I got a full time job offer this week so I am currently working on doing the million and one things that I have to do before I move back down. My dash went to post-interview stage Tuesday night and then Wednesday morning I got the call! I am so excited that things paid off and the timing worked out that I got to have my foot surgery too. So see ya real soon gang!

PI Timeline Part 2

This timeline is a bit more confusing than the first since I am making it so much later. Additionally, I never got official emails/notifications about not being in consideration any longer about a few of the internships. I also applied to A LOT more internships than the first time around. I applied to internships and got NLICs at across a wide timeline so that makes it confusing. Ultimately, it is just a big mess, but I eventually got an offer and that's what counts, right?

Drop Downs

So drop downs cause a lot of excitement for everyone on the Facebook pages. The biggest thing that they are separate positions that come on the Dashboard drop down menu. 

Specific Position Drop Downs
These "drop downs" usually are specific jobs that come from a general posting. Two of the biggest categories that have drop downs are the Alumni Only positions and the General Marketing positions. For example, if you apply to the Alumni Only job posting you check off from a list of about 20 internships that you want to be considered for. Then after your screening interview and your application has been moved on, if you are considered a strong final candidate you will be given a separate position under the drop down menu. This is really exciting, since it means that you have been narrowed down and are on the short list of candidates for that position. It is by no means a guarantee that you have the job, but it is definitely a good sign!

Interview Drop Downs Another drop down you might get is for a specific interview. I didn't apply to any of the general applications that normally receive a drop down, but I did end up getting 2 drop downs throughout my interview process. The first one was for my montage interview for animal programs. I don't know of a lot of other positions that got these drop downs besides Animal Program Montage Interviews.

The second drop down is a REALLY good one! Everyone who gets an offer gets this one! This drop down was for my callback offer! If you get one of these there is a pretty good chance you are getting an offer. It isn't guaranteed, but ALMOST everyone who gets this drop down gets an offer.
