BET Interview Questions
& Process

I applied online for Viacom internships. About a month later, a talent recruiter called me for a phone interview. It was pretty relaxed and asked about my background, goals, and experience to figure out placement. She mentioned a potential internship with BET and that she'd forward my resume. A week after that, BET got in touch and set up an in-person interview with four interviewers. They asked similar things as the recruiter, plus BET-specific questions. It was easy if you know about BET and entertainment. The interview went smoothly, no need to be stressed. I got the offer two weeks later.

I applied through the Viacom Career Services website. First, I talked to the college recruiter who then connected me with possible internship openings in different companies. Next, I was in touch with a supervisor for a phone interview. After that, the supervisor called me for an in-person interview at the office. I met her in a conference room, and it was formal but relaxed, making me feel at ease. She asked about my school and work background and how it might fit the internship role.

The interview started with a FaceTime call. The interviewer was very direct with their questions. They took their time to ensure I had detailed knowledge of the company and its history. They were friendly and forthcoming about their hiring process, which helped put my mind at ease. They began and ended the interview by asking me personal questions about my family, schooling, and life experiences.

We talked with the hiring manager and an HR person. We went over my resume and work history. I learned about the brand, their competitors, and what the company is doing to get better. I also met with other people in the department to get a feel for the team culture. We also discussed how the department works with other departments and the future of the company.
