Interview
I applied online and was quickly contacted for a phone interview. The phone interview started off with a news quiz asking me questions such as the current state of the GOP health care bill. The interviewer also listed off countries and asked me to name their leader. In the remainder of the interview I was asked the standard questions about myself, my qualifications and why I wanted to work at NewsHour.
