New Scientist interview questions

Cover letter review and a meeting with two people from the team. Asked questions about my background and said that they were looking for a very particular fit for the position.

After I completed the application, I had to complete a subbing exercise with a specific deadline. Next, I was invited to the first round of interviews, which lasted approximately 30 minutes. The interview panel included the Chief Sub-Editor and an Editor, both of whom were very friendly. This round primarily focused on getting to know me better, understanding my career goals, and assessing whether my aspirations aligned with the goals of New Scientist. The second round of interviews was competency-based and also lasted about 30 minutes. I, unfortunately, did not get an offer but the whole process took about 4-5 weeks in total.
