Sent application via university, was invited to interview with university representative and the assistant editor. I found out the response after 5 days, and received positive feedback as to how well I had interviewed
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BBC (London, England)
Interview
Two interviews with members of the data journalism team. They were approachable and the questions were straightforward. They asked about my experience and examples of issues I have encountered while working on data journalism projects. I had to prepare a presentation for the interview with a pitch for a potential data story I would like to produce in the future.
