So far, my experience with PBS has been… brief but memorable. I applied, got the interview, and promptly discovered that my nerves and my enthusiasm make a surprisingly charming combo. The interviewers were professional, welcoming, and clearly capable of asking questions that make you simultaneously think deeply and question your life choices. Overall, 10/10 for the process, 0/10 for actual time spent, because let’s be honest, I’m still waiting for the full rollercoaster ride!
