QUESTION 8 OF 29

What is your experience with investigative journalism?

Foreign reporting requires much investigating and digging. Unlike reporting in the United States or in a home country, the reporter is expected to come up with completely original material. The candidate should discuss their reporting experience and their investigating techniques that make them highly qualified for the job.

"I have been a reporter for many years, and each time I start a new job, I have lived in a place I have never lived before. It takes much to get to know an area, and I have experienced starting from scratch in a foreign place before. Now I am ready to tackle the challenge of doing this, except abroad."
