I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BBC (London, England) in Apr 2021
Interview
Very detailed interview, with lots of questions. Conducted by, relevant to the field, and knowledgable staff. The job they were offering was very technical, not a lot of room for creativity early on, but with room for potential growth, I'm sure.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about quite specific TV terminology, which isn't used in the online video editing world // they also asked about quite a few legacy workflows in the post-production.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BBC (Dumbarton, Scotland) in Feb 2016
Interview
I received an email from my tutor from college informing me of this work placement at BBC Dumbarton to work as an edit assistant on River City. I got in contact with the person and I was asked to come down for an interview the following week. Truthfully, the interview was mostly just a break down of the editing process and they asked if I was still interested in taking the job, to which I said yes. The next week, we got a bit of training/demonstration on what we're going to do, which I picked up quite quickly! By then, I got the job.
