I was invited to do a writing test and a quick chat with editor. I did two rounds and was accepted after. The editor also knew me when I was an intern for another magazine and received a referral.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tatler Asia (Taipei) in Feb 2022
Interview
I was asked to attend an interview at their office in Taipei. I would expect a company like Tatler would have a set interview procedure but it didn’t feel that way. To be more specific, it feels like the interviewer had certain personal preferences rather than evaluating the candidates ability with an equalised standard.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Translation output per day (technically speaking it is MTPE)
Zoom interview, around 15 mins long. Not far from what I have expected, pretty smooth overall. No tricky question asked, just getting to know you more and see if you’re a good fit.
