I applied online. I interviewed at CNN in Oct 2016
Interview
Self-recorded interview from HR dept. 10 questions with a set amount of time for each question. This was followed by phone interview with a hiring manager from the dept applied for.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at CNN (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2017
Interview
The interview was difficult but fairly pleasant. You start by taking a written 45 minute test (changes depending on which department you apply to), then you have a 45 minute interview.

Question 1
Why this department? Pitch me a story. The usual questions.
The process took a while for me. I had applied in September and I didn't hear back until December. There's a two-part process to the interview. First, you do a video interview where you answer and record your answers to 20 questions. Then, you'll be contacted by the department in two to three weeks. Every department is different, and they're busy, so it's important to remember that and be patient. The head of the department that you're interested in will contact you and ask you more specific job-related questions. I heard back within two weeks after that.
