Applied online at night and got a call the next day for a phone interview. Phone interview lasted less than 15 minutes and I could tell they werent going to consider me. They asked how far my commute would be and when I told them, the interviewer implied that the commute was too far and not manageable for me (even though my current commute at my present employment is twice as far). They even did a google search on my city to see the distance and commute and continued to tell me that I’m too far despite me telling them it was manageable. They also asked me my salary at my current employment which I found to be rude.
I was way overqualified for them. They said no degree was necessary nor having experience as a writer or editor. I have my degree as well as experience working as an editor. I feel the commute was a big issue for them. Very unprofessional company. Even their job listing is full of spelling errors.
