Went really well! Went in at 130 and just got out. Sat down with the news director and chief editor and went over my resume. Even though I have no experience they both really liked me. They liked the work I did on my final project as well. After that they gave me a tour of the station and I met all of the anchors. Then I sat down at a desk with the chief editor for about 5 hours and we did the news. I was cutting and editing raw footage and sending it to ABC New York. It was very overwhelming but I thought I handled it well. Then the chief editor sat me down with the other editors and we bullshitted for a while. They thought it was cool I was a Panthers fan. They saw my keep pounding bracelet. Then I sat down alone with the chief editor for about a half an hour and we just talked. He said he still needed to go over some things and that I'm a project. I would need 3 weeks training but he liked me. So I hope I hear back because things seemed like they went well!

That's fantastic! It sounds like you made quite the impression on them. It also good that you got the grand tour and met everyone. A lot of times, your personality, professionalism, and your cohesion with others can make you the front runner, even if someone else may have more work experience.

Yeah sounds like it went really well, I don't think they would keep you there for five hours if they weren't interested.

In other words, boom!

Sounds like it went well. Hopefully they cal you back. As was said before, they probably do not spend over 5 hours with everyone who interviews. Keep us up to date.

Didn't get it guys. They decided to go with a woman who had experience but I think there may have been some office politics behind that decision as well... Gotta keep grinding.

[Mr. Scot]

You rarely get hired your first time out.

Nothing to be ashamed of for not getting the job on your first interview out of college. Now you know what to expect in th enext interview. Be sure to reach out to them for feedback on the interview. The worst they can do is not give you any.

Obviously you didn't show enough skin in the interview.  Didn't we talk about that?

 

 

Dude, it wasn't meant to be...  you'll find something that's perfect before too long.
