I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Business Wire (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
Very fair. The main aspect of the interview that is important is to come across as reliable, trustworthy, and someone who can take direction and work well with others. You also need to have prior experience editing copy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical. Nothing out of the ordinary. Must be reliable.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Business Wire (Sacramento, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Straightforward interview about my experience, what style guides I've used, etc. The recruiter made a point of saying he'd let me know either way. And then he ghosted me. Typical duplicitous, lazy unprofessional recruiter.
