  • 23. What is your experience with the latest news formatting software?

      How to Answer

      Producers use computer programs to format their shows. The interviewer wants to know the candidate's experience formatting shows in various formatting programs, in the hopes that they will find a candidate who does not require much training. Even if the candidate does not have experience, they must prove that they are able to learn computer programs and various technologies quickly in order to perform the job.



      The candidate should explain their prior work in formatting and how they expect their prior experience will help them succeed in the new job.

      Chad's Feedback

      Good answer. It's great that you have experience using more than one type of news formatting software and express a willingness to learn different software if needed. Consider elaborating and providing more details in your response, such as discussing the advantages and disadvantages each type of software presents, based on your personal experience. This will set you apart from other candidates, and make your answer more memorable to the interviewer.
