You’ve probably never heard of HBO… right? Unless you’ve been living under a bridge your whole life, of course you have! HBO has been consistently producing some of the world’s best television content for almost 60 years and they show no signs of slowing down. In fact, HBO reaches over 36 million subscribers in the US alone and another 130 million across the globe – making them one of most watched American television stations. Always on the cutting edge, HBO was the first major US paid subscription channel to offer video-on-demand and online streaming services. Known for their original TV content, HBO seems to be able to tap the pulse of the collective American psyche by creating hit after hit with some of the most-watched television series to date like True Blood, Six Feet Under, and Game of Thrones.

NBC

NBCUniversal, the largest single employer of Emerson alumni (from what we can tell) has had an ongoing and close relationship with Emerson for decades. Many of our former students who graduated in the 1980’s comprise a hefty portion of their senior leadership and our more recent alums have found much success there over the years. Career Services has recently began to develop this partnership even further by organizing on-campus recruiting events like Information Sessions, on-campus interviews and putting together resume books of our student applicants which we send directly to the recruiting team to highlight the talent coming out of our school. Whether your dream is to work on a late night show like Jimmy Kimmel or Seth Myers or if you see yourself on the corporate side doing marketing, digital content or programming (and many, many more opportunity) NBC wants to see your application and Career Services is here to help you every step of the way.
