I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at CNN in May 2013
Interview
Initial process consists of an automated email for an over the phone interview with HR Rep;
Set a time and receive a call.
Of course your responses are recorded so it is important to be as explicit and/or detailed as possible. Thereafter, the department chair, director, i.e. reviews your responses (Maximum of One Week waiting-time.) with HR Rep. In person interview with two members of team and director. Then the BIG decision.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions concerning: customer services, revision of resume, casual conversation
it was a Hirevue, they asked typical interview questions like introduce yourself, what challenges have you faced, what's your news diet, etc. took only around 15 minutes to complete but I would do significant preparation.
Very thorough and detailed. There were three rounds of interview, and one of them was online. Then it came to in person interview. I struggled with the online because you have to record yourself and answer their questions with time limits.
I was instructed to undergo a virtual interview on Hireview. I have not heard back yet, but they asked basic questions like "tell us about yourself" and "why are you interested in this internship?"
