Lily Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was quite long, despite the interview itself only being 20 minutes. Due to the high number of applicants, there was a significant waiting period of 4 to 5 hours. The interview round primarily focused on behavioral questions.

The interview process involved a written test and an interview, lasting about an hour. The interviewers were friendly. They asked about basic news writing and editing skills, and knowledge of current events, specifically focusing on what's happening in HK and mainland.

First, they look at your application to see if you fit the job. Make sure your resume is good and matches what they want. Then, there's a first screening, usually a short phone call with HR to check basic stuff like if you're qualified, what you want to make, and if you're interested. After that, they'll test your skills with online tests, coding problems, or other tasks related to the job. This can take a while. Next, you'll have an interview with the hiring manager, where you'll talk more about your experience and they might ask behavioral questions using the STAR method. Then, there might be a second interview, possibly with a group of people from the team or higher-ups, to see how you work with others and solve problems. Finally, you might meet with senior leaders to talk about the big picture and maybe sort out the details if they're offering you the job.

First, a phone call with HR to check my availability. Then, a 1-hour team interview focusing on my motivation and soft skills. Finally, a technical interview with my future manager and team, including a presentation and Q&A.
