      Reporter Interview

      May 11, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Financial Times (London, England) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      Unscientific. If you have the skills it then becomes a popularity contest with a writing test. Expect some tough questions and perhaps a writing/editing test. A lot rides on whether you click with the interviewer so research the culture. Sought: Intelligent, confident, internationalist, fluent in economics, business and politics, extra language, technical skills, experience. Need to show good understanding trends and the bigger picture. Must be able to write.
