Entrevista
They didn't respond to my application and when I called to check up they didn't remember my name. They eventually called me back for an interview. I think this is a ploy to make sure you're really interested. I was told they want to be somebody's dream job. They asked about how I take notes, how organized I am, and other pretty standard questions. They didn't tell me how I did until I followed up again.

The interview process at News Link is rudimentary at best. HR guy asks really stupid questions about your hopes and dreams and goals, and is very misleading about lots of other things such as the amount of travel and workload one can expect. Training is also an afterthought here. The company has incredibly high turnover (it has been a revolving door for years, I understand) and is desperate to get people to work here and to get as much out of them before they leave for greener pastures.

Entrevista
The process is a complete joke. Your interviewer, the Vice President of News Link, is a supposed "recruiter," however, you will come to find that he is unknowledgeable, socially impaired, and unqualified as a leader. Upon your opening questions, it seems like a normal interview. However, inevitability, you are asked the most cliche question, that does not gauge any aspect of the interviewee at all: where do you see yourself in 10 years?
No respectable employer asks this question. One, it is a pretentious question that the interviewer already knows the answer too, two, any smart interviewee knows how to give an innocuous lie. However, this is not the tipping point. The interviewer will then ask you: why don't you interview me? Okay, fair enough, I'm applying to be a journalist. However, after that, it's just an awkward time, as the interviewer continues will silly questions not assessing any skill set or behavior of the interviewee.
This is not a normal interview. This is an individual who ignores writing tests, does not read resumes, and does not understand behavioral based questions to ask potential employees. This is why anyone who has a blog is qualified to work for News Link.
