The candidate should discuss why or why not they plan on working as a full time journalist in the future. Oftentimes, being an assignment desk editor is a good transition job into being a reporter, in which case they plan on perhaps staying at the company for a longer time and growing over time. The candidate should discuss what their future plans are, as it relates to the news industry, and how they will grow into that future role based on what they learn in this job.
