Boston Herald interview questions

Very easy, comfortable, engaging with VP of Advertising. Gave thoughtful overview of company culture and environment. Welcoming. Well planned training program with mentors available. Job shadowing available for first few days or so to get comfortable.

Lunch with editor. Chance to show off work and tout eagerness to get scoops, break stories. Three day tryout, writing stories like crazy with editors pushing you. Not easy, always a story or two of someone who shows up for the tryout, is bombarded with assignments and disappears at lunch. If you survive, you have a shot at at getting the job, though that is not always a guarantee.
