I was asked by a recruiter whether I'd be interested in a newsletter editing position some time after applying for a different role. I said yes, and not long later underwent a lengthy editing test. After that, I was sent to an interview round. When I got on the call, I was surprised to be greeted by not one, but three editors, and was told they were hiring for multiple jobs (including two I had not been told about prior to the interview). They then proceeded to ask generic questions before wrapping the interview at the half-hour mark by saying they were only able to hold onto the conference room for that long. I had time for a single question before the call ended. After this, they ghosted me.

I did not get the position but I can say that the interview was good, however the testing process aftermath was confusing. The instructions were not enough and thus I lost it. The statement they wanted me to use was incorrect.

I applied for a job online while I was doing an internship. Since I was already in the system, I had direct access to the hiring manager, and reached out directly to them. If you had already done an internship and apply during the internship, it's more likely to get picked up.
