What is your experience generating contacts?
Assignment desk editors are considered strong ones when they find ways to stay in touch with important contacts daily or weekly. They are expected to form strong relationships within the community so they aren notified whenever there is a story to cover. The candidate should discuss their experience forming these relationships and keeping them over time, and what success they have had in the past that they can share with this station.
"I find myself a very trustworthy person, and many people trust me with their information. I find that many people call me with story ideas because they know I will always respect their wishes in regards to when it is released or what information we share. In that way, I believe I am good at not only finding contacts, but keeping them."
