A sports reporter is expected to produce their best work, even in a limited amount of time. Oftentimes sports reporters are expected to have a full report directly following the conclusion of sports games with a full recap. This means that they must work well under stress, and are able to perform the same level of work even under a tight deadline. The candidate should discuss their experience working under deadline and describe how their work would be affected by this.
