Heard directly from the hiring manager about 2 months after I applied. During the interview, the person didn't ask me more than one or two questions - instead, I asked a ton of questions, and got the impression the expectations for the position were still being fleshed out (I didn't get a lot of clear answers). Received an invitation for a second interview, but decided to decline.
I applied online. I interviewed at Inside Higher Ed
Interview
Spoke with three different editors in fairly informal phone interviews. Asked typical questions about my experience, strengths, weaknesses and why I was looking for a new job. Also had to complete a reporting test in which I was given facts about an event and was asked to write a short, accurate article on said event.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you looking for a new job / leaving your previous role?
It was good, we spoke for about 15 minutes, I was asked about my previous experience, about the stories I've written and how I developed sources. I was asked about my strengths and future plans
