Initial meeting consisted of a phone interview where I discussed my previous television and production experience, my goals for the future, and general questions based on my life and why I wanted the position. This was followed up by an in-person one on one meeting with the Broadcast manager where I presented my reel of previous productions. This was an extensive interview where i discussed my skills, spoke of my previous employment as well as what I had to offer CBS News. I was also asked to write a short news story based on a fictional AP-report.

Casual internal interview, no curveball questions. Nice-seeming management who were polite and engaged. We discussed what the expectations were for the role and how it would be managed in broad terms. They also seemed interested in any ideas that could be brought to the position and support the wider team.
