      Writer/Editor Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Stamford, CT
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Americares (Stamford, CT) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      They started with a phone interview. After that I had an in-person interview at the HQ, where I met with HR and the direct manager for the position. My third interview was again in-person at the office, where I met with the direct manager, the HR director, and about four other people all involved in the job in some way. Each interviewed me after I took an editing test.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I wouldn't call it difficult, but the most frequently asked question in the third round was how I worked. I'm not sure what they were looking for in this answer, but everyone asked it. Specifically they asked how I went about finding out information for the stories I would be writing. I could only draw on prior experience for this one - and I'm not sure it was what they were looking for. The best question I was asked concerned what my favorite piece of writing was, and why.
