QUESTION 19 OF 28

What are your benefits expectations?

Reporters, whether they are in print, online, or for television, often get other kinds of benefits with their job that help them prepare for what they do. Some receive stipends or allowances for hair, makeup, gas, and more. The candidate should describe what they hope they receive in benefits and why.

"At my last job, I received a stipend for clothing because I am expected to dress up each day to be on camera. I would appreciate if we could negotiate this."
