      Director Interview

      1 July 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CNN (New York, NY) in Feb 2011

      Interview

      Phone Interview...was set up the day before and was done with a conference call. The person I initially had contact with along with a higher executive, who was rude, pompous and unprofessional. The who call lasted less than a minute as I was told how CNN has "changed" and how I was no longer qualified, even though I used to direct for them as a freelancer in the past. I was stunned by how they conducted themselves.
