I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
Standard interviews, first with HR over the phone, then with potential supervisors in-person. In-person interview concluded with 60-90 min exam. First part was a trivia test to rate knowledge of current events/famous figures and organizations. This was followed by test to check ability to synthesize news stories into headlines, Twitter and Facebook posts. Finally, was asked to write a 500-word news story based on wire copy.
