Classic interview questions. It was clear that Charter wanted someone with a relatively robust understanding of telecommunications policy. Many folks in the government affairs business are willing to hire someone with little-to-no understanding of their policy area -- because the policy can be learned easily; people hire government affairs leaders for their capacity to influence government. If you don't have a robust background or understanding in telecommunications, I'm not sure the Charter team would feel you're the right applicant for this position -- but, as always, it's worth a try!
