CNN interview questions

Review lasted three days and involved being interviewed by 5 people, individually and then collectively. Interviewers were: department head, recruiter, marketing rep, director of contracts, vice president of sales. The process was fairly painless. I had to prepare a presentation which was shared with the group. I answered some stock questions and talked indepth about how to use new technology to advance the department.

I was interviewed by Head of HR, first over the phone later 1-1. She was very pleasant, relaxed and made me feel very comfortable. It was a long interview/conversation - it lasted over an hour! She was eager to have me working at CNN and really tried her best. After that I had an interview with the Exec Producer of the Dept I was referred to. This person was very clear and relaxed, as well. Everything ran smoothly. I was asked to send some ideas, this way they could learn more about my writing and creative side. Eventually, I did not get the position as it was an extremely competitive one, however, I was told the interview did go very well and that I made a very good impression. Initially, I was told that I was overqualified for the job but I insisted on being interviewed. The tricky thing about these interviews is that they are listening closely to everything you say and observing everything you do so one has to be very cautious and think twice before speaking. Overall, the interview was difficult even if the atmosphere was a positive one and the interviewers did an excellent job.
