I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CNN (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
Only one interview after the Hirevue. The interview was simple but different than the Hirevue because the hiring manager had viewed my responses. Mainly behavioral but they also asked some questions about how I would navigate a news story and just generally why I was interested in journalism.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is an important news story that will be relevant in the next week?
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?"
