The interview was really short, it looked very busy there.
2 very nice ladies interviewed me, one came from Gainsborough where I went to school!
They told me exactly what the runner's job entailed, testing me to see if I can put up with the conditions I suppose, I said when I first set out about this career I was told exactly what it entails and it doesn't put me off cos I love post. I also brought in what I'd done as a runner on BBC work ex - they liked the fact I can use a proper coffee machine, lol.
They told me I needed attention to detail etc to make sure tapes go out complete with sound etc etc, brought in some more stuff from work ex including one from BBC Scotland where I spotted a shot in Raven with a blue marquee Sharon had missed.
They asked me all the usual questions. When I said I eventually wanted to be a video editor they asked me how long do you think it takes to get there? I said about 7 years as that's how long it took a few editors from the BBC I know. They asked me if I coud use Avid - basically, yes, and about digitising stuff - did that at London - and how much I knew about formats - more than the average college student, a fair bit.
I made them smile and laugh quite a lot, they seemed to like me, but I was nervous as hell.
The company looks very busy but a very friendly close-knit team.
Ah well, at least it's my first interview out of the way and it didn't go badly :)
I find out if I have it at the end of this week.
