I applied online. I interviewed at The Real Deal Inc in Feb 2026
Interview
First, you have an interview with the head of HR which is pretty straightforward and introductory. After that, you are asked to complete a writing test which includes providing pitches and writing a story based on information provided. Then you will interview with someone from the team you'd be working on. This interview dives a bit deeper into your experience, process for reporting and overall understanding of the beat. After that, you have an interview with the Editor in Chief. This interview evaluates long-term career goals, what you'd bring to the company, etc.
