Today I had my in-person interview with SWIFT with the Global Head of Partner Management. I was also supposed to meet with the head of HR, but he didn't make it to the meeting... And he was the one we were planning around... it looks like we will do a phone follow up interview.
I think the interview went well though... and if I get the position, I could possibly be going to Brussels!!!
After the interview, I met up with Adge and got a white hot chocolate cupcake from CRUMBS!!! :)

MTVu VJ On-Camera Interview
Today I had my on-camera interview for a VJ position with MTVu!!! This has been my dream job since like 7th grade.. yes, back in the days of Cason Daly and TRL
I think the interview went well? I mean its really up to the producers and if they like me. I just hope that the fact that I'm out of school doesn't harm my chances - I mean I'm still only 22, even if I do have an MBA...
So everyone wants to know what the process is like...
Application Process
So I sent in my resume and a photo to MTVu last week and got a call yesterday.
Phone Interview/Screening
The call was a short phone interview asking me questions like - what are your favorite types of music, favorite band, etc.
Then they asked me to send a few more pictures to get a better idea of what I looked like. Before I could even decide what pictures to send in, I got a call from her boss asking me to come in for a camera interview the next day (today)!!!
I was sent some cues, things you'd see on cue cards, to look over. Pretty straight forward stuff.
On-Camera Interview
At the interview, I got there a tad early, then he came out and brough tme to this room - which was essentially an office w/ empty walls, but had the complete set up w/ a desk and everything, except there was a camera facing the wall.
For the on-camera interview, the producer started off filming a conversation type interview , where I was answering questions - boy did I learn some interesting things while being interviewed. Then I did the cues, which went somewhat well, it only took me like 1.5 times to run through them. I just hope I didn't speak too quickly as I tend to do when I get nervous.
The filming was very quick, it was supposed to start at 3 PM and I was out by 3:15 PM.
Fingers crossed to see how it all goes!

NBC Page Program Interview
There were 5 of us, all girls, and the panel - the Page Program Manager, Page Program Coordinator and Page Program Intern. Two of the girls were from Syracuse University, one from NYU, the other from Pepperdine and me from Fordham.
The interview consisted of of 3 parts:
Part 1: Group Interview
This part was surprisingly short, they only asked us 1 question: What is the biggest risk you've taken and what did you learn from it?
Part 2: Individual Interview
This part was short as well, about 15 minutes. They asked me to tell them about my different internships and why I wanted to be a page and why NBC.
Part 3: Personal Presentaitons
Each of us gave 2 minute presentations about ourselves. While singing and dancing was not allowed, the usage of creativity and props was highly encouraged. I had brought a TON of props - the cap from my cap & gown, a notebook, voice recorder, debate timer, a CD and most importantly my scientific calculator (which I don't think Natasha has seen before, based on her facial expression, lol).
Not surprisingly, all of the girls at the interview were very qualified and really wanted the job. And surprisingly, I was the only MBA grad there, and probably the oldest one there! All in all, the interview was very laid back and a lot of fun!

Worse Interview Everrr
I had the worst interview everrr today.
This was a round 2, and the 3 of 3 people I had to met. I was supposed to see her the first time I went, but she left early that day, so I had to go in just to see her. Everything was going well with the interview, she was asking me about past work experiences, and things like that.
Then she asked me a really hard analytical question: How many stations are there in the subway station. Unsure, I simply said 150 stations, then changed my answer to 15 lines imes 16 stations. She then said, what about the stations that multiple train stations stop at. Needless to say with the complexity of the train stations, I was stumped and it showed. Eventually I came up to the answer of 160 stations.
Her follow up question, after only 1 question outside of the who are you questions was "do you have any questions for me?" Meaning that the interview was over... She then proceeded to ask me, why should/shouldn't we hire you?" and "Let me walk you to the door."
The entire interview took about 30 mins of the usual alotted 60 minute interviews... Needless to say, it the interview went poorly and I bombed the interview.
