Not bad overall. The interviewer was very friendly and asked interesting questions. I didn’t feel terrified, felt comfortable sharing my thoughts, and could openly ask the many questions I had. Still okay lah overall experience.
Over zoom, with two interviewers, one from the writing team and one from recruiting. Standard interview questions like your strengths and weaknesses, your past work history, and why you wish to join.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mediacorp (Singapore)
Interview
There was a writing test where I was tasked to suggest story angles for a feature article. The second round was an in-person interview with the department head. The interviewer was friendly and attentive, and we talked about my experience, interests as well as general chats about current affairs and pop culture (relevant to the lifestyle beat of the job I was interviewing for).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What topics are you most interested in writing about? What career track do you hope to have in this company? Why do you think you're a good fit for the job?
