I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Edge Markets (Petaling Jaya) in Mar 2012
Interview
Pleasant and polite interviewers. They are willing to meet after working hours on certain days and very understanding.
There will be a written test for entry level writers-- to process a press release and write a news story based on the given details.
Another test will be given to test your knowledge about public listed firms, current affairs and various industries-- Better read lots of newspapers before coming in for the job.
