It was good but they could have been a bit more communicative during the process because I didn’t feel like I was truly be tested enough if you get what I mean
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CNN in Nov 2020
Interview
Heard back about a month after applying. Was invited to two online hirevue interviews which took ten mins each, then one producer interview over Zoom. Heard back from producer two weeks after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work at CNN?
Who would you invite as a guest on the show?
Pitch 3 story ideas.
Clear expectations, fair, but difficult questions. I did not like the virtual interview platform, HireVue. It was nerve wrecking answering quickly prompted questions in a short allotted timeframe. It seems like a lot of companies are using HireVue to screen applicants, so I don’t fault CNN for utilizing it.
