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.
The interview process was thorough and fair. Before the interview we were given a fictitious scenario with various sources of information and asked to write an article and then a video interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at CNN (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Hireview first, then business coordinator/ manager round. Not sure what's after that (have the business coord round in a few days). The hireview questions were what you would expect them to be. Good idea to tape your first try and hten take a break and restrategize before taping a second one.

Question 1
*Haven't gotten offer (yet) just needed to put an answer for that^
Why do you want to work here, whats your news diet, etc.
The interview process was pretty simple. 1) HireVue 2) A 1:1 meeting with the hiring manager.
Honestly, if you get a call and you get along with the hiring manager you'll get the job.
