      Executive Intern Interview

      Mar 5, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Atlanta, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in Jun 2008

      Interview

      Note, my interview was for CNN's executive team - NOT for reporting or producing. I received a phone call after submitting my resume through my school's career office. The phone interview was very informal. I described my experience, my interest in CNN and my ideas about attracting a younger audience. I did not say what I thought CNN wanted; I was very honest - even though it criticized CNN's current operation. The interviewer was very relaxed and equally honest with me about what they needed. After the interview, he called back in three days to let me know I had the internship.
