LGM ADVICE!
I got recommended for an internship at ASCAP and the person wants to know if I can come to Nashville next month for an interview. She says if not, we can do it over the phone. Do you think I'd make a better impression if I made the trip than if I just did it over the phone? Or would a phone interview suffice?
If you really want this internship, go in person. She made the phone interview a secondary option for those who CAN'T come in person which means she would really prefer if you came in person.
If someone else from your University made the trip out to Nashville for the interview and you didn't they would surely gain an advantage for making that effort.
Yeah, so if you REALLY want the internship you should go in person.
