Interview
Recently, I was in the running for an EA role with NBCU and I was highly impressed by the whole process. I first had an online interview where I was presented with a few questions for thirty seconds and then had to record my response within two minutes. My first face to face interview was with Louise Trager (Associate Director, Talent Acquisition) and Helen Robertson (Executive Assistant). Both of these women were extremely kind and attentive during my interview time and I appreciated their ability to stay focused on what I was saying. Unfortunately, I did not get the position, but I thoroughly enjoyed the interview process and will definitely continue to apply for further roles in NBCU.

Interview
I had to complete a recorded video interview for first stage, which I had never done before. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but everything was very clearly explained in the emails I received from the Talent team. The questions were quite straightforward for this part - why do you want to work for the company, how do you organise and prioritise your workload etc.
I was successful at getting through to face-to-face interview, which was one on one. I found this a bit unusual, as I'd mostly done panel interviews previously, but the interviewer took detailed notes throughout so I was confident that they had taken in everything I told them. It was a mixture of competency questions and going through my previous experience in more depth, as well as discussing the requirements of the role and the potential challenges. Most of the conversations I had leading up to this and afterwards were via email as I was unable to take calls, but the team kept me informed. I was not successful, but they got back to me to let me know within a week as promised and offered feedback.
