My 2 cents: on the rejection letter thing…
I checked on the pixar employment status site, and figured out that when they marked my web application as a ‘nope’, it automatically generated an email to my email account; the time difference between the pixar site and my email box was 3 minutes.
So rest assured, as soon as they update your status on their website, you’ll find out 
My application page only says it was last updated on 3/16. I doesnt say rejected or accepted. Does that mean I still have a chance?
On the CGSociety thread, someone just found out they had an interview yesterday.
How are you logging in on Pixar? I’m not seeing a way to log back in. (Edit - found it!)
Last updated shows when you updated. The other date should show when your application was accessed by Pixar apparently?
Just click Career Listings to log in.
Mine still says 4/21/10 from last year. shrug
Mine says that too…
OMG. i just noticed there was a “PDF ONLY” note where i uploaded my Word resume…i totally missed it the first time. Should I upload another one or would that just push my application date? hoooow did i miss this!!! aaahhhh
I’m actually moronic. I looked over this app like 10 times before I clicked ‘submit’ and still ended up here… must be a special kind of stupid
There a few things that can happen here. They may not mind or they may just shrug you off because you can’t follow instructions. I do miss these things too, you’re not the only one. Also think about it this way. The application seems to just be a general application that they keep in their database. You select the positions you’re interested in and just hit submit to apply once you have a completed application. I could be wrong though…
lol I did the same thing. That’s a deal breaker I’d say. Inability to do the little things.
thanks joro, it’s nice to have some perspective on it, but i’m definitely not holding my breath now. pixfan, did you apply for the post-production position? did you notice that you uploaded the wrong one right away?
No I just noticed when you said that. When does it say yours was last updated?
I received an email for PUP, asking for a phone interview on the 17th of march. I submitted on the 5th, I think? The interview was about two weeks ago. I’m waiting for a reply, and this wait feels like forever! haha
Oh by the way, my resume was submitted as a .doc format. I specifically remember that was fine. They seemed to have just changed where it says PDF only on the site. So I wouldn’t worry about that.
I submitted mine on the 11th and it says it was updated on the 16th. What about yours?
and sari_brielle, thanks so much for that!!! you just lifted the world off my shoulders haha.
Aw no problem! I hope all goes well for you!
Does anyone know specifically about post production? Have they alreAdy started interviews??
I had a mini-heartattack with the PDF file thing too, but as sari_brielle said, it was something they updated after ours were applications were turned in;
I doubt the smartie people here would’ve missed a bold red piece of text next to the submit button
The person on CGsociety who was contacted for an interview—was it for PUP or another position?
As a side note, I love how polite and supportive this board is. Nice to know that we’re all going through the same thing. 
So just checked my status and the last updated is when I posted it. Which hopefully means they haven’t gotten to mine yet. So there is still hope!
