I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CNN (Pékin, Pékin) in Aug 2011
Interview
I talked to the bureau chief and he said there was an opening. I went in for an interview with a bureau chief along with human resources listening in. They asked me basic interview questions and wanted to know if I was planning on staying longer. The job has a very high turnover rate due to the lack of advancement. An associate producer in that office cannot advance unless the producer quits, which has not happened in quite a few years so often times the associate producer just leaves after 2-3 years.
