Journalist Interview Questions

"When searching for a job as a journalist, get ready to be grilled on your journalistic practices and ethics. Consider creating a personal website with examples of your past work as news organizations will be interested in past reporting and writing samples. A diverse portfolio and a bachelor's degree in journalism or a related field will give you a strong advantage."

874 journalist interview questions shared by candidates

In the first interview all the questions one would expect, such as "why are you applying to this position?", "tell me a little bit about yourself" and then a thorough explanation of the tasks and questions to make sure I was suitable. Then, in the second interview all sorts of new things were introduced and the questions were random. For a journalist position they asked me if I liked the experience of living in another country (because I had) and then if i know what it takes to be a good salesperson - for a journalist position 💀
