      Editorial Assistant Interview

      14 Oct 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at POPSUGAR (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I submitted an application and was asked to complete a writing sample within five days. This included five sample posts with photos and links, as well as answers to a few questions about the publications you read, the TV show you most like to watch, etc. Afterwards, I spoke with an editor on the phone. Then I had another round one in-person interviews with three members of the team.

      Editorial Assistant Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at POPSUGAR

      Interview

      I submitted an online application for the position and one month later I received an email from an employee thanking me for my interest and requesting a writing sample. The writing sample was due within a week. The writing sample consisted of three prompts relating to the tasks required in the position (i.e writing pseudo-articles in the company's style within the genre of the position). Within these prompts, I was asked to describe how I would promote the articles on social media platforms. The second half of the writing sample included five interview-style questions. After submitting the writing sample, I was told they'd be in touch soon. When I didn't hear anything back, I sent a follow-up email. I never heard back from the company. I normally don't expect an answer when submitting general applications, but I find it odd to receive nothing after they stated they'd reach out.
