I had an in-person interview with the paper's editor. It was conducted very professionally. Everything they told me about the job was accurate to my experience once I was hired. They were upfront about the low pay and limited advancement opportunities. I heard back from them quickly after the interview.

They reached out to me for an interview, and we set it up for the next day. I was asked to bring a print portfolio of my work. It seemed to go okay--they inquired about work background, what I was aiming to do, and thoroughly went over the position. They mentioned they would follow up. Many months have passed, and I still haven't heard back.

First you'll meet the Creative Lead, who will be your manager, then you'll go upstairs with her and the Publisher/Department Head (Keven Graves, he's really nice). After that, you'll have to do an InDesign Test to check your skills with the software you'll use most.

I met with the publisher and manager. We talked for about an hour about my background and reviewed my previous work. It was a relaxed conversation, not too serious. They were both friendly and made me feel comfortable. I got an offer right there.
