Started with a phone interview to gauge my experience with writing and editing. Asked the normal questions and was very responsive when I asked questions as well. Offered insight into the position as well as what the new employee would be doing on a daily basis.

HR representative from the company reached out to me and we scheduled an initial phone call. I moved on to Zoom interview with hiring manager. Shortly after I was sent a lengthy edit test to complete. The edit test was long but standard. Upon sending it in, I was ghosted by the company for over a month. I sent 2 follow ups after 3 weeks of not hearing from anyone regarding the role, each about a week and a half apart. I eventually reached out to hiring editor who informed me they moved forward with another candidate. This is the second time this brand ghosted me after interview / edit test process. Given the time consuming nature of these edit tests, I wish the HR reps gave the respect to send an email informing the status of your interview process. Frustrating, to say the least.
