back again for the third time applying lmfao! i had a referral link last time but didn't get a hirevue. this time i didn't have a referral but i felt that my letter and personal statement were stronger. i saw pages say that it helps to let your personality shine and not worry so much about saying what you think they want you to say so i feel my voice is much more my own and less corporate so to speak this time. so i hope that helps me this time. third times the charm hopefully :)

This would probably be more applicable for the next cycle but do you know who can give referrals - is it anyone at NBC or pages or specific people?

@/nbcpageprogram on Instagram says applications are opening today (10/8)!
I also came looking for advice, but this thread seems to be dead :( I wanted to know the application materials I could anticipate submitting so I could prepare them this morning before the application opens

i’m looking through the last cohort’s thread. i didn’t realize this was such a competitive program😅 not sure how well my app will do being a semester graduated already
2
u/Dry-Philosopher-8144 19d ago
me too! I know a lot of people had already graduated or been well into a career by the time they applied. My guess is it’s honestly luck of the draw with this stuff since there are so many. But I can’t not apply.

u/wormfarme 19d ago edited 19d ago
They averaged 16,000 applications four years ago. The numbers have likely gone up since. With a cohort of about 20-25 people, there is about a more or less 1% success rate, unfortunately.

u/RichYogurtcloset7979 19d ago
this may not be helpful or new advice, but what I have seen is to be yourself and have your CV fit on one page. In past cohort threads, those who apply with a referral link are more likely to get a HireVue link. There is some advice on the Page Program IG too. Good luck to anyone applying!

Congrats! I can only dream for an interview! I'm still in review but I'm trying to keep hope!

Good Luck! Would you mind sharing some questions that were asked if you remember I understand if you can’t!

u/strange-egg026 6d ago
it mainly was about my internship with them, what did i do/why id wanna come back, and then like the usual “why would you be a good page”

Sorry for all the questions but how many tries did you get to answer a question and how much time did you have to answer it?

What how did you already get a rejection already?? Did you accidentally press if you wouldn’t have your bachelors degree or something because that can give you an automatic rejection if you accidentally press that you don’t meet the basic requirements

u/Pitiful_Turnip_1368 15d ago
no I did everything right lol. ig i’m not good enough

u/gatorgrowly 15d ago
You must have answered something wrong. If you applied on Friday or over the weekend, no one has likely looked at your application because it's the weekend. It was probably automatically filtered out.

I get it. It’s just really unfortunate. I get that’s it’s a competitive program and they do need to weed out people but the applications not even closed yet. could’ve waited until then lmao

Has anyone reached out to a recruiter on LinkedIn and received a message back ?

u/wormfarme 8d ago edited 8d ago
I wouldn't bother. Recruiters get way too many messages and emails, especially those who recruit for the program. The only way you can meet with them is if you had an interview or were a former intern.

can you get a hirevue email at any hour of the day or is it between normal working hours? (If you got the email, can you please lmk?!)

u/JournalistCurious218 4d ago
A friend of mine did! He has never applied before and didn’t have a referral or was a previous intern. He told me he applied the day before it closed, and got a HireVue two days later. I’m not sure if his resume helped or being a May graduate did. NBC traditionally likes graduates from the previous semester.

Does anyone know if they send all Hirevues out at once, or do they spread them out? Seeing people getting hirevues, and wondering if I should stay hopeful I could get one too

u/mypuppyisblue 6d ago
hi there! they send hirevues out on a rolling basis. with so many applicants, they are still working through viewing all of them and send them as they see fit! give yourself grace, best of luck🤍

u/Brilliant-Sky5933 6d ago
seems like a lot of ppl getting them rn are former interns. if i remember correctly from previous cycles, they would usually get them first, and then it would be rolling from there

There's no reason to be nervous boo. It's a competitive program. Some interns can't even get hireuves, and even then the acceptance rate is crazy low. If you get you get

YOU GUYS GOT THIS GOOD LUCK!

u/Actual_Pepper_3470 1d ago
When did you move into review

u/Outrageous_Tangelo25 1d ago
i’m not sure, it was still in the new stage on 10/23 so somewhere between 10/24-10/26

u/AnyEfficiency7429 16d ago
on the application there’s a section that says “Message to the Hiring Team” but then a separate area for the “Tell us something about you that we wouldn’t necessarily know from your resume. Why is this important to who you are and how you plan to show up as a Page?” are these the same thing, or do you write two different messages?
1
u/Beautiful-Cycle-1690 16d ago
Definitely not the same thing :/ The first “message to hiring manager” is the equivalent of a cover letter and the “tell us something” is their short answer question to learn more about you. You should put different responses to both questions!

applied last cycle for the first time, made it to the panel. is it worth applying again, or do they sorta "blacklist" you once you've made it that far, and have seen enough of your personality to make a definitive decision? anyone with any insight on this, if you've made panel, been rejected, but then was able to make panel or second round again, please lmk!
