19. Why did you decide to become a reporter over other writing jobs?
How to Answer
While any person who applies for a reporting job probably possesses similar skills, the interviewer wants to know exactly why the candidate has chosen to be a reporter instead of any other career based around the skills required in reporting. A good response would be for the candidate to explain what skills specific to reporting they possess and why they have chosen this career.
