QUESTION 6 OF 29

How do you work away from a newsroom?

Being a foreign correspondent requires the ability to work self-sufficiently and with minimal supervision. Foreign correspondents must be trusted to know what is good news and what stories are worth following and covering in that country. The candidate should discuss how they work individually, and any past experience they have working without managers or supervisors directly present. The candidate should describe what personality traits they have that make them a good fit for a remote job.

"I consider myself someone who loves to work remotely and independently. For many years I worked as a writer in my own home, and I enjoy doing my work alone. I have such a strong knowledge of journalism that I know I do not need someone constantly supervising me."
