It was the usual experience of meeting the manager and team, and then taking some HR personality test(s). The expectations for the writing sample were a little unrealistic. I thought I did well, considering I made it through all the interview steps, but my writing sample might have been too stiff. It’s difficult to write about a product and company you haven’t worked with yet. I’m hoping they weren’t just farming samples. I’ll never know. I write in straightforward, plain language without all the sales fluff, so I just don’t think it was a good fit. I saw that the position opened up again within a couple of weeks. I asked to be considered again, but I was ignored, which wasn’t professional, in my opinion. They displayed a lack of openness. I’m an experienced writer, so I can adapt my style, but it’s unrealistic to ask someone to do the job before they’re even hired.

Submitted application online and was contacted for a phone screen. The recruiter mentioned sending over a CCAT test to complete asap. Received a link for the test (logic test) to complete.
