About your past

Tell me about a time a story changed right before air and you had to recut it. What did you do?

This is per diem, with weekends, holidays, early mornings and overnights. How do you stay sharp and reliable on irregular shifts?

What they are checking: Whether they can be counted on when the schedule is unpredictable and short notice.

Have you shot video in the field, and what did it teach you about editing?

What they are checking: Their willingness to learn other broadcast skills, which the posting names as a plus.

What would you do

You get raw video twenty minutes before a package has to air. Walk me through how you build it.

You notice footage in a package that might be misleading or out of context. What do you do?

About the work

Which non-linear editing systems have you used, and how quickly can you get comfortable on a new one?

How do you decide which shots and sound bites tell the story best when you have far more footage than time?

What they are checking: Their storytelling judgment, which separates an editor from someone who just trims clips.

What makes a good show open, and how would you approach building one for Fox 32?

What they are checking: Whether they understand pacing, graphics and tone well enough to set up a newscast.

How do you build graphics that help a viewer understand a story instead of distracting from it?

What they are checking: Whether they think about the viewer first when adding visual elements to news content.

How do you keep your media organized so another editor could pick up your project mid-shift?

What they are checking: Whether their working habits support a shared newsroom where handoffs happen constantly.
