The test features an unlikely, fictional situation in which you will
have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest,
and spontaneous.

THE SITUATION

hurricane with severe flooding. You are a photo journalist working for
a major newspaper and you’re caught in the middle of this epic
disaster. You’re trying to shoot career-making photos. There are
houses and people swirling around you, and disappearing under the
water.

THE TEST

trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer.

him under forever. You have two options - you can save the life of the
President, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo,
documenting the death of one of the world’s most famous men.

THE QUESTION
