I sent my resume via email and in person. Since it was a local Media Institute, I was already acquainted with the staff members. It was a little awkward to dress formally and have a panel interview with them. I also chose an early morning, so it may have been more of a practice interviewing for them as well. I did not do very well, but managed to remain relaxed. A couple of them asked general cookie-cutter questions (tell us about yourself), a couple asked more situation-based type: As an assistant tech director how I would handle people who get upset when the equipment they have reserved are not ready to be picked up (because the person before has not returned it on time). Or they said that usually they have trouble keeping the youth motivated throughout their filmmaking process and what I would propose. My advice: Don't approach interviews as Q&A: they'll ask questions, i'll try to answer. But many interviewers may very well see it as a test that you have to pass -- i don't think that is mature or effective but the fact is they are human and they too may sweat about how to conduct an interview. it is therefore better if you don't depend on them. prepare for interview as if it is your personal research. try to know about the company/organization/the program you will be running inside out (to the best of your knowledge and information you can get) -- as if you would like to know for yourself what it is all about. that way you are covered for both types of interviewers -- the ones who know how to conduct their interviews and the ones who're not sure how to.
