Tell us about a time that you had to resolve a conflict
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Quartz (New York, NY) in Aug 2020
Interview
Two Skype Calls, One Edit Test, One 2.5 Hr In-Depth Video Interview. I met with a number of different team members, who were all friendly and professional. We explored relative topics together and discussed expectations for the role.

Question 1
Who, and then how you would pitch a brand that has not yet been featured on Quartz Creative.
A long, drawn out process with very few updates along the way. And a great deal of work involved in the process (story pitches and a beat outline). Ultimately, I left the experience with a very negative impression of Quartz because it didn't feel like the editors appreciated the applicants (despite checking with editors on multiple occasions for an update about the hiring, I ultimately received a form rejection letter). Furthermore, the interviewers asked numerous times about how to frame things for the Quartz audience, and it remains a mystery who that audience is.
