It's a pretty simple interview process. If you get a referral from someone currently working as an assistant there, you've got a good shot. Just be ready for the usual questions about how you handle work and disagreements.

Behavioral Presentation

I interviewed for a role at Emerson College's radio station WERS. It started with a phone interview, then a one on one with my potential boss, and finally a panel interview. There weren't any technical questions, they just wanted to get to know me and my experiences better. It really felt like they were more interested in getting a good feel for me than testing my knowledge. Everyone was really polite and cordial, from the GM to the student interns, it was a pleasure talking with them.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Are you able to take ownership of a project and work independently?
  • Can you delegate tasks and collaborate effectively with students?
  • Do you have any ideas for increasing membership?
