Interviews consisted of background knowledge in media and production, as well as questions regarding current events. This is especially true if attempting to look in the NBC news department, so be prepared to discuss current political, economic or entertainment events / stories to earn bonus points.

Interview
It was fairly easy and all online. I enjoyed doing the interview because it was not alot of pressure and you could do it twice if the first time didnt work out for you.

Question 1
What past experience will allow you to do this job?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (New York, NY) in Nov 2017
Interview
The process was quick and to the point. I was contacted by the current publicity assistant at the time (via email) to set up an in person interview. I went in for an interview on the Monday of the following week and met with the VPs of the department, as well as with the Manager and Coordinator of the department. They asked simple questions like "tell me about yourself", and we discussed the relevancy of my background. Within 30 minutes of leaving the interview, I got an email from the HR recruiter handling this position that they'd like to follow up on the interview. I gave them a call, they said it sounded like the team enjoyed the meeting, we discussed salary, and they sent a link via email to provide my references, in which the HR representative asked that I provide a reference from a current employer. I provided references and waited about a week to hear back from HR that I had not gotten the position. I was slightly annoyed at the process, because if I had listed a current employer as a reference and they had contacted them, I could have easily faced repercussions.
