I am a third-year Chinese majoring in college. I want to intern as an editor at a magazine during the summer vacation. What preparations should I make? What questions are generally asked in written interviews?

A magazine was recruiting editors, and the generous remuneration made people jealous. After writing a few articles, I started to get ready to take action, so I applied without telling the employer. After passing the qualification review, you will be informed to take the exam one week later.

On the day of the exam, when the test paper was handed out, I was dumbfounded. You are given a lot of dazzling data and graphics, and you are asked to find the same sequence as a certain number and graphics within ten minutes. It is said to test your reaction ability. I was still hesitating, but when the time came, under the urging of the invigilator, I filled out a few ABCs at random and handed in the paper in a hurry.

The second set of test papers came down, and it took fifteen minutes to complete. The first question was to correct typos in idioms, which finally gave me a breath of relief. The second question is to test the ability to distinguish right from wrong. "The state court rejected the mayor's decision to strictly prohibit the police department from building buildings around the school." Is it allowed or not? The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and I patiently looked down. They were all tests of intelligence. I couldn't sit still and wanted to hand over the paper and leave. I secretly glanced at the other people in the classroom. They might be even more confused! I comforted myself.

The third set of test papers is here, and I finally get down to business. I will give you an article for you to revise and write another article about "The Importance of Quality Education." However, under the title of the revised article, there is a small bracket "separate paper", and the manuscript paper given to me is only enough to write one article. I can't figure out whether I am revising it on the exam paper or using another paper (after the exam) Yes, the other paper means that the revised article is on another paper).

While hesitating, I wanted to ask the invigilator who looked younger than me, but two blank papers gave me no courage to face her piercing gaze. So, I had to bite the bullet and write the article, but the inspiration was gone, so of course the article was made up randomly. The two-and-a-half-hour exam made me feel discouraged and had no confidence at all.

Before leaving the house, I couldn’t help but complain a few times: “This is not a writing test, it’s just a game...” “Writing a good article does not necessarily mean you can be an editor. A famous old editor, many well-known writers respected him. After this editor died, people discovered that he had not published a single article..." said a person in charge of the magazine. I was shocked and quickly gave up the idea of ??becoming an editor.

No need to prepare anything special. If you have works, just bring them.
