30 mins long and very laid back. Nothing too grueling but make sure you are able to articulate your passions very well. First interview is a phone call and the second one is with someone from the team.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Paramount
Interview
I applied for this job in January of 2012 through their Viacom careers website. I heard back about a phone interview about a month later. I got a call from HR who asked me basic resume questions, my classes in undergrad, what I would be interested in at MTV etc. They then told me I would be connected with the MTV productions department because I seemed like a good fit there. Another month later I heard from MTV and I spoke to about 3 people. One was the director of operations, one was one of the executive assistants and one was a production associate. It was a really easy interview, they asked me pretty basic questions about myself and it seemed like they already wanted to hire me and they were just getting specifics. After this interview I didn't hear back from them until like the middle of April saying I got the internship.

Question 1
What's your favorite TV show on MTV, they just want to make sure you actually watch the network and are up to date on the latest trends
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Paramount
Interview
Had to go through the typical online application process, but was aided through the process by the very helpful and polite college recruiter. I kept in constant contact with her, and filled out the necessary paperwork after being offered an interview. The interview I did in person in order to portray a more dedicated attitude, although a phone interview was offered. The interview from my supervisor was very laid back.

Question 1
Who is your favorite current artist? This threw me for a loop because it is so basic, but I really had to think for that one!
