Follow up to this post; I want to thank everyone who answered my questions about editing tests. I had the interview yesterday. I took the editing test on a computer and they gave me a company style guide to use as a reference, so it wasn't stressful at all.

As far as the interview went, I really can't tell. I'm so bad at judging these things. I ( Read more... )

I actually landed a job interview. The company is local - maybe ten minutes away - and there are two available positions.
