QUESTION 21 OF 30

How do you work on tight deadline?

A tight deadline could mean that the story or work is due within a few days, a single day, or even a few hours. The candidate must explain how they work under pressure, and will not be late submitting their work. They must demonstrate their mastery of all aspects of the job and how if necessary they could complete extremely quickly but with the same amount of precision as any other story they have done.

"There have been many times I have only had one single work day to complete a video story for television. Although there are so many aspects of the job to complete, including posting to social media, I consistently produce creative writing and good quality video, and I get better every time."
