I applied online. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (New York, NY) in Mar 2017
Interview
I was first asked to conduct a video interview and was then invited to come to 30 Rock for an in-person group interview with about 6 other candidates. The process was as to be expected and I don't remember them asking anything too crazy or off the wall.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to overcome an unexpected obstacle.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (New York, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
First you fill out a standard job portal application, including extra questions particular to the company. The next stage is a 30 minute video package interview, in which you answer 6 questions. You have about a minute to prepare for each one before the filming begins. Once the time runs out (or you finish and stop recording), you are given the next question. The final stage of the interview is a panel in New York. There is a group interview, then they all interview each candidate at a time (so five people interviewing you at once) followed by a 2-minute passion presentation.
They want people who are well put-together, calm under pressure, upbeat, and good at problem-solving. Customer service skills are good too. Obviously they want people with background in media (tv, theater, digital, journalism, etc). Knowing some history about the company is good to have in your back pocket, but during my interview, they didn't ask anything about the company. The interview was focused more on personality and job history.
I applied for an intern role in the fall semester. I moved forward to the video interview round (you answer the questions that show up in the screen, essentially you are talking to yourself). I was very shaken so that is probably why I didn't here back. Then I re-applied for spring semester and re-vamped my whole resume, in the hopes of getting to re-do my video interview because I am so passionate about the company. Hopefully, one day I will get it. My recommendations is to practice practice practice in the mirror!!
