Intern at FOX News

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Nov 2012 – Reviewed Apr 29, 2013

Interview Details – I applied on their website, submitting my resume and cover letter. Eventually, I was emailed and asked to set up a phone interview with an HR representative. The interview was rather brief, and mostly involved going over my resume and asking me to evaluate some things, in addition to the usual question along the lines of "Why Fox News?." I was offered the position through email a couple weeks later.

Interview Question – Rather straightforward. The only question that caught me off guard slightly was when they asked to name my favorite anchor on fox news. Truth be told, I never watch.   Answer Question

Editor-Producer at FOX News

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY – Reviewed Mar 19, 2013

Interview Details – Applied online, contacted by HR about a month later. 1:1 interview with HR staff, then with managing editors/newsroom staff. Took a lot of time to get to know who I was, my background, etc. Also got a brief talk about the company's reputation -- everyone there is well aware of Fox's "brand," for what it's worth.

Expect to take a 10-15 minute written news test -- it's not difficult, there are a couple of curveball questions thrown in.

NB: They do background/consumer checks on finalists, and that takes a lot of time.

Interview Question – Not "unexpected," but "Why do you want to work for Fox?" is definitely the question you should answer most thoughtfully.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – Salary is fixed (seems to be their policy for new hires?), but still got a bump up from the number they gave me over the phone.

Intern at FOX News

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Jan 21, 2013

Interview Details – Internship hiring process was seamless. Applied online and received an email for a phone interview within two weeks.

I emailed the person who interviewed me and received a phone call within that week telling me I had the internship.

Interview Question – How do you get your news and a daily basis and from where?   Answer Question
