What is the hiring process at Self Magazine?

If you do not see any openings for Self Magazine, we recommend considering applying for one of the many journals and other publication companies owned by Conde Nast. It's a great way to get your foot into the company and gain experience while you wait for a position to become available at Self Magazine.

The online application is quick and easy. You have the option to upload your resume and autofill your information or to manually fill it out. They also ask for links to your social media accounts such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Self Magazine is very much into how potential candidate represents themselves and brand themselves to others.

Allow a few weeks for Self Magazine to reach out to you if they are interested in your application. The first step is a brief phone screening with someone from their HR team.

Anticipate some basic questions related to your resume and background, as well as your interest in working at Self Magazine. This is a great opportunity for you to learn about the role and decide whether you would be a good fit.

The next step is the interview stage. This may include a series of back-to-back interviews held either at the New York office or over zoom. Anticipate meeting with the department lead, editors, and potential co-workers. Each interview lasts between 30 to 45 minutes.

It is typically a one-on-one interview, but sometimes there are several people in the interview asking you questions.
