The Publisher called and requested to screen. The Northern VA magazine has a great reputation. However, publisher is quite abrasive and condescending. This may explain the high turnover in sales.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Northern Virginia Magazine (Chantilly, VA) in Nov 2015
Interview
After reviewing my resume, managing editor set up a time for an interview. I met with her and another editor in the office to discuss past employment, future goals and why I wanted to work there. The ME asked me questions about myself and my media and entertainment consumption.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northern Virginia Magazine (Chantilly, VA) in Aug 2015
Interview
The managing editor asked about my writing, editing, and interviewing experience. She gave me a few grammar, punctuation, style, et cetera, worksheets to work on that she would grade, and then she sent me on my way. It was a very short and simple process, and they offered me the job soon after. I think GlassDoor's reviews are (rightfully) discouraging people from applying to their unpaid, abusive internship, which is great.
