'Hello there,
I applied to four different role openings on the Disney Pro Interns each over a month ago now, and I'm panicking thinking that Disney require some sort of correspondence from me, although I cannot find any emails or notifications - I think I'm just concerned as to how long it has been since I applied, as it's leaving very little time for me to acquire a working US visa, should I be accepted (The roles start in May/ June). Three out of four of the applications are 'in progress' which is fabulous, but I'm just wondering what's going on, I suppose!
Thanks a lot, I look forward to your reply,
Sarah Heal'
To which I received this reply:
This reply has made me very anxious, as I said 'yes' to having work authorisation as I was eligible to get a VISA as I am CRB checked etc but I don't actually have one. To be honest, although these are my dream jobs, they just start so soon after the course (some start in early June or even end of May, where I'd be shaving off the time to put together my final exhibition and I was forfeiting that to be able to pursue the job, but if I only get two weeks notice, there won't nearly be enough time to get a visa and all the flights and living arrangements etc.
Although there was nothing stopping me from applying to these positions - I think in retrospect that the positions were intended for peoples already living/ studying/ working in the USA and not really intended for international candidates. I just wish I was one of those people in the USA already!
I don't really know if I am able to continue with these internships as it seems near impossible to achieve in such a short time. So I'm leaving this plan for the time being and just see how it goes, and not stress about it. I may look at more internship opportunities that don't start so soon, maybe in about 6 months or so!
