I was contacted for a phone interview and told that they'd let people know whether they'd be moving forward in the hiring process within the week. Well, a week came and went and I received no further contact from the HR manager. While I understand not being able to get back to every applicant - I made it to the phone screen! The least a company can do at that point is say, "Thanks but no thanks."

I sent in my cover letter and resume, and then I was invited to come to the office for an in-person interview, where I met the hiring manager. I was invited back for a second interview with two other staff members. They asked me to take a proofreading test at home and return it to them via email.
