First I had to do a trial of coding some data. They gave me some news stories from past years, a coding/methodology guide, and a spreadsheet template. After I completed that, I had an interview. It was a relatively simple interview. I heard back quickly.

It consisted of a work exercise followed by an interview with two panelists—a manager and an assistant manager. Unfortunately, I felt very uncomfortable during the interview, as the manager lacked professionalism and would visibly react with rolling her eyes whenever I couldn't answer a question or didn't have the right information she was seeking.
