I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at WTOP (Washington, DC) in Jan 2020
Interview
You usually have an introductory chat with your would-be supervisor, and then they bring you in for a more formal/standard interview. After that you take a writing, editing and knowledge test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me about managing multiple assignments at once -- for example, how would I delegate tasks when there's a major traffic accident on a highway, a recent shooting in the city and copy from an assigned story that was just filed.
