Describe a big decision you've made recently.
What is the hardest aspect of working in a group?
Have you ever done this type of work?
They asked about my approach to writing RFQ and RFP and other types of business content (how did I propose to do the work).
How will you adapt from working freelance to working in an office?
Why do you want to join Storm Ideas?
Asked about overnight experience and writing career and future plans and how they fit in
The interviewer asked me if I could handle the responsibilities of the role and gave me the schedule. The interviewer was very dry and sounded inexperienced with proper phone interview etiquette. They had no questions for me, they sounded like they were reading from a paper and ran out of things to say. I received an email the very next day saying they would not move forward.
If I knew what brands were what and how to write for them -- and since the answer to that was yes, my interview process was pretty straightforward. Ironically their new head writer had no clue about anything and actually declined my boss's offer of a teleconference so we could all get on the same page. I've never seen anything so dysfunctional.
