(1) Completed internship with PRH Editorial team. (2) Applied for role with carefully tailored cover letter and CV. (3) First round online interview with a robot. (4) Second round online interview with an editor and senior editor. (5) Third round interview in person with three senior editors. (6) Never heard back.... (7) Followed up after 2 weeks only to receive an automated reply. * I'm a strong candidate and took the process seriously because I cared about the role and was excited to have the opportunity. It is exceptionally disappointing to have been let down by such a respectable company. All that effort and preparation and care for an automated rejection email after silence for two weeks?? Wow. I don't have much else to say.

Interviewed over Zoom. Prior to the interview, I had to read a couple of manuscripts and write evaluations of them. They got back to me about their decision within a few days of the interview. I appreciated that they had me practice some of the essential duties of the position and that they did not ghost me.

Interview process consisted of three rounds - initial interview , second interview with different members of staff and a third with a task which involved copywriting. The interviews were thorough but the staff were very friendly.
