Static Media Writer Interview Questions
& Process

If you're selected for the initial interview, you'll have to schedule a meeting with the HR. It'd be a short meeting, scheduling a date and time of your initial assessment. Then you'll work under an editor and write an article. They will review the article and if they find it useful, they might hire you!

The interview was super quick, they mostly just told me about the job like I already had it. Then they talked about a paid trial, making it sound easy. It took a week to get the paperwork, and then another week for the editor to even start the trial. So, it was a slow process. When I got the style guide and writer's hub, I was really confused. It's weird that a content mill would have such strict standards and detailed instructions on everything. Even though I had doubts, I decided to do the trial. They approved my pitches with some feedback. I took all that feedback and spent about 10 hours on the article, including uploading it and picking photos. I kept thinking, 'All this for so little pay?' A few days later, I got rejected for grammar and sourcing errors, and they said they couldn't offer me the role. I checked, and there were no grammar issues. Sourcing can be fixed with feedback. Plus, I have 20 years of experience, so this doesn't make sense. After reading other reviews, I think I dodged a bullet. I'd avoid this place if you want to be paid fairly and not deal with nonsense. It's too much work for almost no money. There are much better companies for freelancers.

The interview process involved a brief 10-minute Zoom chat, followed by a three-hour paid trial where I had to complete a sample assignment. The editor then provided feedback on the assignment. Completing this stage successfully would lead to further steps.
