      Data Journalist Interview

      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BBC (London, England)

      Interview

      Two interviews with members of the data journalism team. They were approachable and the questions were straightforward. They asked about my experience and examples of issues I have encountered while working on data journalism projects. I had to prepare a presentation for the interview with a pitch for a potential data story I would like to produce in the future.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A technical test in R. It was easy and focused mainly on basic statistics and summaries.

      Neutral experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BBC (London, England) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      Pleasant enough, included a practical test, a bunch of questions about previous experience, some abstract competency questions about hypothetical scenarios, e.g. "what would you do if..." or "tell us about a time when...".
