Question

I have a phone interview for a position as editor of a magazine at university. What kind of questions should i expect?

Answer 1

Most of the telephone interview will be about your character and whether or not you might fit into the magazine's editorial mix.

Stand during the telephone interview so your diaphram is not confined and your voice will have full range and you will not sound nervous.

The interview will probably be about your past experience and qualifications -- but you know all this.  And to assess how you might function under deadline pressure.

Hope this answer helps you.  Good luck.

Answer 2

If you're doing a interview for a job over the phone you can expect not to get the job.

Answer 3

What type of publications have you edited in the past?

Are you familiar with Chicago Style and/or AMA Style?

Have you done any writing? (Usually editing and writing go hand-in-hand).

If so, do you have any writing samples you can send?

Good luck!  I was a pharmaceutical editor, now I'm a technical writer.
