Employers want to know that you are genuinely interested in their company and this opportunity. It's always a good idea to look into the company you're interviewing with. Before the interview, review the company's website and social media platforms and any mentions of their products or services in the media. Examine the various aspects of the company's structure and profitability, including how much the company is worth, how many editors and writers they employ, and how many locations there are.

"I know and love the fact that your media company was founded in the '90s by a group of young, female writers. I feel a real connection to the mission and values of this company, and I am so impressed by how much it has grown over the last several years. The work that you do and the awards that you win are very impressive. I knew as soon as I saw this opening that I wanted to be a part of this creative team of editors."
