I applied online. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc. (Silver Spring, MD) in Mar 2017
Interview
I have applied multiple times with Discovery. This, ultimately, was my dream job. I applied online for the position and the next day, I received an email saying that I was selected for an online interview and had three days to complete. I went through several rounds of practice interviews which really helped me in the process. However, I did not receive a response until two months later saying that I did not get the internship. I am highly disappointed that they did not select me, despite already having a degree in film and applying as a post-graduate student. In the email, the employer encouraged me to apply again for another internship with them which I will not do as they already burned that bridge. I know several other people from undergrad that applied for internships with Discovery and they did not get the internships as well. So I encourage others not to pursue even an internship with this company.

Question 1
How did/would you resolve an issue with a difficult customer?
I was an unpaid intern at discovery and the interview process was smooth and supportive. Happy to report that the other interns I was with shared similar experiences. Now if only we had been paid the job, that would be amazing!

Question 1
What types of stories are you most passionate about?
disorganized and ghosted. scheduled very last minute and then never heard back, even after the thank you and follow up. this has happened across a few departments at discovery for me
I had a hirevue with pretty standard questions. I never heard back from them so took a job somewhere else. Prepare for it like how you would prepare for any interview. Nothing outrageously hard was asked.
