I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Hearst (New York, NY) in Oct 2019
Interview
After a screening phone call and an edit test I was brought in for an interview with three different senior editors to discuss my experience and what they look for in filling the role.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Hearst (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
Very disappointing recruiter / screener interview in which the interviewer- Diane- was clearly distracted throughout. She received several deliveries in her apartment while talking to me, which made me feel like she wasn't listening.
She decided not to follow up with me at all, so I was "ghosted." This was a disappointing experience from such a legacy company like Hearst, and an extremely unprofessional move from their HR dept.

Question 1
It was very much a simple "tell me about your experience."
very simple, one phone interview with your supervisor. laid back and really nice. just wants to know more about you. know your background and why you want to work there.
