The interview was an internal interview - meaning my resume was referred to the hiring manager internally as i was an NBC intern once before. I realized NBC Universal highlights their internal employees so if you're coming from outside of the company, try and meet someone working within the walls. The interview itself was very behavioral. I was asked why I wanted to work at this show, what experiences I had, what I am interested in doing in the future. Not a bad interview at all. I was given the offer right away - I received an email an hour after I left the interview, but from other co-interns I worked with, it seems to vary from one day to a month.

In order to be qualified for an interview you needed to send a resume, cover letter, and write up a commentary on an episode of Dateline that you enjoyed. Though in-person interviews were available, I did one over the phone. Following the interview, I was offered the position a couple of weeks later. If you can do an in-person interview though, do so. I was told by my supervisor at the end of my internship that having mine done over the phone hurt my application and was saved by the fact that I knew someone who worked in the office that vouched for me.
