Group setting in person. Not at all formal or overly taxing. Non-adversarial and open. Single interview was all that was required in my instance but that was some years ago when the industry was still relevant and performing well.
I applied online. I interviewed at Metroland Media Group
Interview
Easy. Two people present. Questions about libel laws. Got a response almost immediately after. Depends on the interviewer but most people are friendly. Questions about social media use and approach to digital journalism
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Metroland Media Group (Burlington, ON) in Nov 2019
Interview
I found ad for job in the newspaper, then I emailed resume and then was contacted for an interview, then was hired and went for training. And started right away.
