Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How will I find the subjects and interviewees (basically asking what to pitch and how to find sources)
Had a first screening with a recruiter and a second interview with a senior editor. The recruiter was nice and very helpful. The experience with the senior editor was a little frustrating: I felt like they only read my resumé right before the interview and were already decided she wouldn't hire me. Received a rejection email a day after the interview.
Two interviews with editors, asking about my experience, why I was interested in the particular beat, and stories I'd pursue if I were on staff. Very standard and amiable. There was minimal interaction with HR initially, which I actually appreciated.
