      CAP - Production Assistant Interview

      Oct 23, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Bristol, CT
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at ESPN (Bristol, CT) in Sep 2018

      Interview

      I applied for the CAP production assistant position through an internal reference in May of 2018 and had an initial phone interview with a CAP program manager a week later. Most of the questions asked during the conversation involved my experiences listed on my resume, my familiarity with ESPN programming, and a few behavioral and situational stories I had related to my working experiences. i was told that my resume would be forwarded to HR and that I might be contacted when more positions opened up. Fast forward to August and HR invites to me to a phone conversation similar to the one before with an HR rep. After the conversation, the next step was a video interview with another program manager, this time testing my production knowledge through a series of various segments from different sports games that I was asked to make a theoretical highlight of. The next stage was a video conversation with a producer from one of the marquee programs ESPN broadcasts, and was purely a space for me to ask as many questions as I wanted. The final step in the process was an invite to the main campus in Bristol. The in-person interviews were with four different employees from various departments, and the days activities included a private tour of the campus. All interviews were incredibly thoughtful and everyone asked questions related to past examples of challenges, successes, lessons learned, etc. HR then called me the following afternoon with their decision.
