I applied through college or university. I interviewed at FOX Sports (Culver City, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Interview with 5 different managers in each of their offices. Written test on computer, which was completely unrelated to the the job position. They hand you a laptop and tell you to write about an arbitrary topic. I thought I did pretty well during the interview process but it was clear you have to know somebody to get the job there. I would not not recommend the long hours and small pay.
Virtual interview. The overall process took about 3 weeks and included a few rounds of interviews with different departments. It was interesting to meet different teams and get to know everyone.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at FOX Sports (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
It was very easy. I knew someone already working there who passed on my information to the Producer. I went into the office, talked with him for about 30 minutes, and received the job via email the next day. No difficult questions, pretty straight-forward. As long as you can convince that you're passionate about sports, the job should be yours. The best time to apply is before the college football season when they need employees to watch those games on Saturday. So be aware: you'll have to work every Saturday if you're a new hire. But who wouldn't want to be there on Saturdays surrounded by every possible game happening that day. So much fun!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to say no to someone above you.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at FOX Sports (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Interview process was great and simple. Once hired, it was difficult to negotiate starting salary, HR wouldn't budge. My interviewers were easy to talk to- they wanted to connect on a personal level than just talking all business. I recommend finding the balance.
