Interview
I applied online. The process took 4ish weeks. About a week after submitting my resume, they emailed me asking for two writing samples. I submitted an academic style paper and a short journalism piece. About a week after submitting those, they called me back for a phone interview. It was 30-45 minutes, pretty standard, mostly behavioral questions. Stuff like "time you faced a challenge, leadership experience, etc". They also asked if I had SEO experience, which I didn't, but they were really amenable as long as you express a desire to learn. About two weeks after this interview I got the offer.
2 Phone interviews with HR, extremely friendly and just try to get to know you and hear about your experiences. Do not ask extremely tough questions. Want to know how you work with others.
Pretty simple behavior questions. The manager that hired me was really nice and was looking for someone passionate and a quick learner. I didn't have a lot of experience going in, but I was able to show that I was really eager to learn.

One of the difficulties you have faced in the past
Straightforward interview process. All the typical questions you would expect---nothing was a surprise. Went fairly fast too.I was asked about my previous experience, how I think I could help the company, and whether I was dependable.
