I applied online. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in May 2020
Interview
One week after sending the resume and cover letter I received an email scheduling a phone interview with the recruiter. Simple questions about my experience. After that, I had a video interview with three journalists from the team and a written assessment. Then, another video interview with three other journalists from the team.

Interview
Muito bom, pessoal super profissional e atencioso. Oportunidade para todos. Explicaram perfeitamente como ia ser o trabalho, e ressaltaram a importância de sempre querer aprender. Entrevista duradoura para nos apresentar da melhor forma possível para a seleção. Ao fim nos dão um treinamento gratuito.
A recruiter interviewed me first, and then I was cleared to interview with someone in the newsroom. The interviewer did not seem super clear on my resume and seemed rushed when speaking with me. It wasn't a bad interview experience per se, but it felt like the interviewer was "going through the motions" more than anything.
