I applied for an internship in a specific department and got some study materials about a week before the interview. In total, it took about a month from when I submitted my application to finishing both the first and second interviews.

Had a chill chat with someone on the team for this job. They mostly wanted to know about my past work in the field and how I'd work with people. It felt like they cared a lot about how I'd get along with others in the role.

It was a straightforward process. I spoke with the program manager about my film and TV experience, my general preferences, script components, and some of my favorite movies. The interview was pretty relaxed, and they got back to me quickly with an offer. Before the interview, I had to send in my resume and a sample of my script coverage.

I had a good phone interview, but then nothing happened! I followed up twice via email and text, but I never got a response or email back from the interviewer. Honestly, a simple email would have been nice.
