I had two interviews back-to-back from my school's job fair. They both seemed to go well and I was excited about the possibility of a summer internship, but unfortunately, Covid-19 put a halt to everything and we couldn't move forward. We exchanged some emails afterward, but I decided it was best for me to look for other opportunities, especially since it was safer than staying in NY.

I sent in my application online and it took about three months to hear back. After that, I had a Skype interview where I chatted with a studio director. The interview felt really relaxed and enjoyable, and everyone I met was super friendly.
