QUESTION 7 OF 26

Do you consider yourself a leader?

The candidate should talk about how they have been leaders in previous jobs and experiences and how they will rise to the role of a leader in the current job. A news researcher runs the desk finding stories that are important, and has to be able to demonstrate that they can take charge and lead the news stories for the day when they have to.

"I consider myself a strong leader. In the past, I have demonstrated my ability to step up to the challenge of sharing important news stories with producers and reporters and getting the story done before other stations."
