Interview
The process is extremely intense and lengthy. Apparently a couple thousand applications are received each year. So even getting to the stage of an in-person interview is quite a feat. That said, you are up against some pretty brutally impressive competition. The interviewers are friendly people, but don't let that lull you into a false sense of security. They expect nothing less than perfection from those they interview. Be prepared to answer both broad, open-ended questions about yourself, as well as specific questions regarding specific topics happening in the news that relate to marketing and public relations.
