I've applied to the Comcast NBCUniversal internship program and just got invited to an interview. Super excited but also nervous! Does anyone have any experience or tips for this interview? What kind of questions should I expect?
First of all, congratulations on securing the interview! This means they already saw something they liked in your application, so think of the interview as an opportunity to further showcase your skills and passion for the merger of technology and media, especially if your program is in that space.
Research is the key. Be sure to learn about Comcast NBCUniversal's values, culture, as well as recent projects or initiatives. Reviewing the description of the internship you're applying for is also crucial, as it tells you what they’re looking for in a candidate.
In terms of interview questions, it might depend on the particular department you've applied to, but generally, you can anticipate a mix of behavioral and situational questions. For instance, they may ask you to describe a time when you had to overcome a challenge or successfully worked in a team. They might also ask you to discuss a recent influence in the media industry to analyze your ability to understand and interpret the field.
Lastly, prepare some thoughtful questions to ask in return. This could be about the team culture, what a typical day at the internship might look like, or what a successful intern in this role would achieve. These questions show your engagement and dedication to understand their system.
Remember that the interview is not just about proving your qualifications, but also showing your enthusiasm and determination.
Good luck! Just don't forget to relax, your genuine excitement for the opportunity will shine through.
