Ok so mine is back up again. I was able to successfully log in.
Unfortunately there has been no update to my profile
I totally understand what everybody is going through.
I am obsessively checking my profile for updates Second guessing every though I have on the subject.
I am trying to convince myself that if im not selected that’s ok because I never had it in the first place.
So technically im not losing anything, my life just stays the same
But man I just wish I knew the answer!
Here’s to a new week, and hopefully some more results!
I am very grateful for this forum, nice to have the support!
I get ya! I’m convincing myself they’re not gonna pick me but on the other hand it’s like “what if…”
(I don’t know if you say that in English… In dutch it’s “wat als” or “stel je voor!”
At my school I was the only one applying for this position, my class and my teachers were like yeaaah, try that.
But from the moment I clicked on submit, it all turned around… It feels like they want me to fail and urgh it gets on my nerves…
I told them they could make a demo reel too and send it, but none of them did that…
So at least we had the guts to do it xD
We already have a no… But maaaaaybe we can have a yes!
And what would be life without dreaming? ^^
Don’t be so harsh on yourself storyguy, there’s stuff in life in which one is really not good at all and we must accept it, but don’t take a single internship rejection letter as absolute proof that you should give up.
And yes! Thirdchildart! Stop hoarding all the sumbission updates!!
Yeah I agree with both of you.
I like what you said:
“we already have a no, but maybe we have a yes!” nice way of looking at things.
I also agree that we shouldn’t take the rejection personally. It’s just an internship and there are many paths to Pixar, and also: pixar isn’t the only place that would be a dream to work for
We have a long way to go, gotta keep things in perspective.
I think whoever had the guts to submit should be very pleased, before applying I didn’t think it took a lot of guts, but before clicking “submit” I actually hesitated. It’s tough, I don’t know why. So truly, hats off to all of us.
Now back to daydreaming, wouldn’t it be cool to intern together and laugh about how stressed we were in the pixar planet forum? haha that would be cool.
It’s with the attitude of maybe we can have a yes that I make most of my decisions ^^
And it takes a lot of courage, how many people do you know that applied?
People like the ones in my class are just jealous! (at least that’s what I make myself believe xD)
Can I see what you submitted? ^^
I’m so curious!
Is here anyone for animation?
And it would be awesome to laugh together about stressing out in a few months xD
Ditto to you all. Though I didn’t apply to a very art-related internship (marketing), I feel just as nervous. It’s the waiting that does it because I mean, even getting rejected its like a “well at least I know” but I don’t know and it’s killing me.
If we all end up doing the internship I want to be best friends. I’ve already decided.
I applied for the production internship on 2/28/15. My application was first updated on 3/1 and then again on 3/4. There haven’t been any changes since.
Alright, let’s all take a step back and laugh at each other for freaking out about the maintenance issue that happened. It was funny and you guys know it. It’s awesome to see everyone excited for some sort of news! My best advice guys and gals is just to relax and not worry about any update, I know it’s hard to ignore it, and just keep moving forward. Why spend time checking for an update when you could be drawing at a cafe or starting a totally new board? Keep moving forward and good things will come. At the same time lets keep each other sane haha.
Jerbear’s completely right. Probably going to work on my resume and business cards once I catch up with some homework that I have been putting off because I keep checking my status. Also, they fixed the site and the positions that already passed the deadline had closed down. Marketing and Human Resources opened up again.
Hey, guys! Fellow Production Management applicant here. Glad to find a forum to air anxieties. Not my first time applying to the studio, but it is my first time de-lurking from these boards (first post). Hope to keep each other company with good news!
The last time I applied was for the Fall production, which will have a different timeline (from my understanding) than summer. I think for the Summer Production last year, people found out in May, but they also had Art open then, so more portfolios.
I think usually the rule to hear back is closer to 4-6 weeks?
Second guessing every though I have on the subject.
You applied for story, right?
yeeeeey!
