I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sony Music Entertainment (New York, NY) in Apr 2008
Interview
I applied for the position through my university's job network. I was contacted through email initially, and we setup a phone interview for the next week. The interview was very straightforward and did not last that long...only about 20-25 minutes. I was asked several standard interview questions: Tell me about yourself, strengths/weaknesses, why I have a passion for the industry, talked about the experience I had at my past internships, etc. I was then emailed back about 2 weeks later informing me that I was selected for the position. I later learned that she had interviewed close to 10 other students from my school, and that she selected me because she could tell I had the most genuine passion and interest to work in the music industry.
