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.
