A field producer should have some kind of background experience producing shows in house, meaning they have previously worked, trained, or interned at a television station or company where they produced shows directly at the studio. The hiring manager wants to know if the candidate has performed this type of job before, and is ready to take the jump and produce segments away from the studio. The candidate should discuss their experience producing and show why they are a good fit to be someone who produces under less supervision away from the station.
