Submitted a specific story idea pitch. It was a pretty simple process because I already knew the company. They got back to me fast and were easy to work with. Not sure how they usually handle freelance contributors though.

Behavioral Technical

The interviewer started by giving a quick overview of the company and the job duties. He mentioned that because people tend to leave this job quickly, he's really looking for hires who plan to stick around for a while, not just a few months. Then, he asked me some general questions about my background and previous jobs.
