I talked with Sofia about the Anime Reporter job. She was really nice and easy to talk to. It felt more like chatting with a friend than an interview.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

Sofia Mastroianni, the head of Talent Acquisition at Screen Rant, was super helpful during my whole application. Any questions I had about the writing trial or where I was in the process, she answered super fast with exactly what I needed to know. The interview itself was deep but moved quickly. We had a good chat and the questions were easy to get.
