Had a really friendly initial interview and was told I would hear from other execs who would want to speak to me during the process. Instead, one week later I received an offer via email from a person I had never spoken to at HuffPo. The initial interviewer was friendly, sounded young, was very enthused about my resume, on which he seemed very well-versed.

I applied online and didnt hear anything until 6 weeks after. I was then sent a virtual Skype interview which really took me aback. It wasn't with a human and it was 9 questions that you didn't see before hand, had to record yourself as you saw the question and only had 1 chance and 2 mins for each one. Very ineffective way to "get to know" someone especially because it wasn't with a human and incredibly rushed. I was then told the video would be reviewed and would have an update the following week. After a month of hearing nothing, And inquiring and hearing nothing, I just assumed I didn't get it. But really disappointing that they didn't have the courtesy to at least tell me no, or have an actual human interview me. Very disheartening since I love the writing.
