CNN interview questions

I sent my cover letter and resume online. I received an email to set up a phone interview about two months later. I interviewed over the phone with two senior photo editors. They were very nice and explained a lot about what goes on in their department. I was very impressed with what they do and their interview questions. I was hopeful about the internship, but recieved and email less than one week after the interview saying that I did not get the internship.

I applied online and heard back from an HR rep within two days. The first round was an online interview via HireVue where I was given pre-recorded questions from said HR rep, then told to record my response. This format was SUPER easy, especially because it gives you 30 seconds to prepare and then you can take up to 5 takes. The questions were super easy as well, all very standard interview stuff. Then approximately a week later, I heard back from the Senior Editor of the Dept that I had said I was the most interested in. He scheduled a phone interview for the next business day. We talked for about 15 minutes and it was very relaxed and simple. More specific questions about my qualifications/wants/goals, but still way easier than I expected. He then gave me a mini assignment to do that night to assess my skills and told me he would contact me about his decision by the end of the week. Four days later, I got an email from an HR Rep saying I got the job (pending a quick background check).
