All interviewing was over the phone, since everyone at FPS works remotely. There were two interviewers: a content team member and one an account executive who dealt with clients. When asked, I described my work background and subject matter expertise. It was obvious that there was an immediate need for a writer who could cover certain technical topics. They threw the names of several technical subject areas at me, and asked what I knew about them. I offered to write a paid sample. That went well, and I was hired shortly thereafter.

The interview process involved a phone interview, followed by a panel interview. I was requested to provide proposed writing topics and a very specific writing sample before proceeding to the panel interview.
