I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner in Jul 2024
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me. Then they gave me an editing test which was quite hard, but I must have passed it since I got the interview. It was with 2 senior editors or managing editors. Most of the questions had to do with editing. I thought it went well but I didn't get an offer. At least I got the rejection within a week of the interview and didn't get ghosted.

Question 1
What's the difference between proofreading and editing?
What would you do if a writer didn't want you to make changes to a document and wanted to send it out with errors in it?

Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. The role looked like a good fit and the initial video call went well. I was supposed to do an editing test the following Wednesday, and I'd receive the info about the test on Tuesday. By Wednesday morning, I hadn't received anything, so I checked in about the test -- no response. The time for the actual test came and went. I heard nothing back from the recruiter. They never followed up to explain what happened. Not wanting to engage with a company with this many red flags so early in the process, I did not email them again either.

Question 1
In the initial recruiting interview, we went over typical broad topics like my prior experience and skills.
Took a test and had a few interviews with other editors and TMs. Included a background check. Questions included a lot of scenarios, so coming with previous examples and experiences is important.
