I applied online. I interviewed at Indibeat (Calcutta) in Aug 2015
Interview
Just some random personal questions and a vague explanation about the terms of the contract. The interviewing process becomes a lot less thorough when the employer has a well laid out plan to scam the employee into working for free.
We have a well laid out plan to prevent freelancers from scamming us, which has happened from time to time, including from a certain freelance editor from Kolkata by the name of Arka Das, who scammed us with submitting false invoices for articles that he never edited, or edited extremely poorly. We have to assume this is you Arka, correct?

Question 1
there were no formal questions even asked. it was more of the employer getting a feel for who you are. and asking some private questions. very casual approach.
