      Production Assistant Interview

      15 Jan 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Atlanta, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      Got an email directly from hiring manager to schedule phone interview. Somehow bypassed the Hirevue process that most CNN jobs force you to go through, which gets filtered out by bots (making it hard to get to the next stage). Phone screen lasted about 10-15 mins discussing general job duties. Got a second email a few days later to meet with other team members. It was a very informal, conversation interview. Got a call back the same day.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CNN

      Interview

      The interview was an online video recording. They gave little information on how to prepare and felt like talking to the air. You get two chances to record an answer to each question.
