International Center for Journalists interview questions

I interviewed via Skype, and was told I'd hear back within a week. Soon afterward, I received a rather long email citing concerns about my attention to detail, given a minor typographical error found in my writing sample, and was given the "opportunity" to assuage them. I received more correspondence requesting references and an additional writing sample (I ultimately submitted three in total, plus a data visualization). After two weeks, I reached out and learned that my contact had been meaning to get back to me for days, and I was not selected to move on in the process. My references were never contacted. All in all, a somewhat bizarre and unprofessional experience.

Very straight forward. I applied online and followed up in an e-mail to HR. The team I applied for requested an interview with me. I opted to commute to their office instead of Skypin'. This showed them that I was serious about working at the company. Having international experience - be it through school, work, or your heritage - helps!
