      Research Assistant Interview

      Jan 13, 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PBS (Boston, MA) in Dec 2009

      Interview

      I interviewed for a research assistant position at PBS Frontline that required a mix of technical and political skills. I thought things went well in general, though I was told I was the first person being interviewed and they would be interviewing others all week. The interviewers (two of them) were generally friendly and made me feel comfortable. They asked some annoying questions that I didn't really have a response to. I wasn't really told that the job involved working on the website beforehand, for example, and they asked me for ideas off the top of my head on improving their website.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is something we can improve on our website which currently shows videos of episodes of Frontline and sometimes some other things (depending on the episode)?
