Christina Erne is a meteorologist and a journalist at News 10, Albany's ABC/FOX affiliate.

Sports reporters always work as a part of a team, with other reporters, photographers, producers, and editors. A good candidate is able to work well with others, take criticism, be directed to certain stories, and help others do their work. The candidate should respond by talking about their experience working with teams in a professional setting and how this will make them a strong reporter in this job.

"I know from interning how important it is to work well with a team. Producers often dictate where the reporters go of the day, and a good team member is able to roll with the punches and still do my best work."
