Question 1
How many articles could you edit on a monthly basis?
Long process from application submission to initial call to the actual interviews. It took over three months from when I submitted to when I eventually got an offer. The HR department was not very communicative at all between sending the application and then receiving an interview. It took such a long time I had forgot I even applied and interviewed for the role.
