Jobinterviewat.com helps people get hired. It started with company-specific interview guides written by a former Fortune 500 interviewer, and it now covers the whole path from job search to career growth, plus a section for the people doing the hiring. We publish contributed articles in every one of those areas, from career coaches, recruiters, HR professionals, industry insiders, and companies with something genuinely useful to say.
Read this page before you pitch. Most rejections happen because a pitch does not fit a category below, or because the article is generic. Everything else is negotiable.
Who reads us
Mostly job seekers in the United States preparing for a specific interview: retail, food service, banking, insurance, logistics, and tech. Our biggest pages are the interview guides for Starbucks, Walmart, Chick-fil-A, Wells Fargo, Boeing, State Farm, FedEx, and JPMorgan, and the audience is skewed toward hourly and entry-to-mid-level roles, with a growing share of nurses, social workers, and career changers. A smaller but valuable segment is small-business owners and HR managers reading our employer section.
What we accept, by category
Every article must fit one of these eight categories. Under each is what works there and a few example titles to show the angle we want; use them as a model, not a list to copy.
1. Company Interview Guides
Our core. Interview questions, hiring process, assessments, and what the interviewer is scoring at a named employer. Must be specific and current: the real questions, the real rounds, dress code, timelines. Insider knowledge (you worked or hired there) is a big plus.
- “Trader Joe’s Interview Questions and What the Crew Interview Really Tests”
- “UPS Package Handler Interview: Questions, the Facility Tour, and Physical Requirements”
- “CVS Pharmacy Technician Interview Questions and the Virtual Job Tryout”
- “How the Amazon Warehouse Hiring Process Works, Step by Step, in 2026”
2. Interview Questions & Answers
Question types, answer frameworks, formats (HireVue, panel, group, phone), and interview tips that hold across employers. We want the “how to answer” depth, not another list of thirty questions.
- “How to Answer ‘Tell Me About a Time You Failed’ Without Sounding Rehearsed”
- “Group Interview Tips From Someone Who Ran Them for a Retail Chain”
- “One-Way Video Interviews: How They Are Scored and How to Record a Strong One”
- “What to Say When You Have No Experience for a Behavioral Question”
3. Salary & Benefits
What specific employers pay by role and location, benefits eligibility, raise structures, and negotiation for hourly and salaried roles. Numbers must be sourced (pay reports, postings, official policy).
- “How Much Does Target Pay in 2026? Starting Wages by Role and State”
- “Walmart Employee Benefits: What Part-Time Associates Actually Qualify For”
- “How to Negotiate an Hourly Wage Without Losing the Offer”
- “Shift Differentials Explained: Which Retailers Pay More for Nights and Weekends”
4. Resume & Cover Letter
Resumes, cover letters, applications, portfolios, and video resumes, especially for people without a straight-line career: first job, career change, returning to work, hourly roles.
- “A Resume for Your First Retail Job When You Have No Work History”
- “How ATS Software Reads a Resume, and What Actually Gets You Filtered Out”
- “Cover Letters for Career Changers: The Three Paragraphs That Matter”
- “Nursing Resume Mistakes Hiring Managers See Every Week”
5. Job Search
Where and how to find openings, applying efficiently, working with recruiters and staffing agencies, using AI tools honestly, background checks, and what to expect between application and offer.
- “How to Use a Staffing Agency to Land a Warehouse or Admin Job Fast”
- “What Shows Up on a Pre-Employment Background Check, and What Doesn’t”
- “Job Boards That Actually Work for Hourly Jobs in 2026”
- “How to Follow Up After Applying Without Annoying the Hiring Manager”
6. Career Change & Upskilling
Switching fields, degrees, certifications, bootcamps, licenses, and how they change what employers ask in interviews. This is our largest contributed section; healthcare, nursing, social work, trades, and tech transitions do best. Course and program providers: your article must teach something, not describe your program.
- “From Retail to Medical Assistant: The Certification, the Timeline, and the Interview”
- “Is a Coding Bootcamp Enough to Get Interviews in 2026? What Recruiters Say”
- “How to Move From Bedside Nursing to a Non-Clinical Role”
- “Trade Careers That Hire Without a Degree, and How Their Interviews Differ”
7. Career Growth
Once you are in: promotions, leadership, workplace communication, performance reviews, managing money at work, and moving up from hourly to salaried.
- “How to Go From Barista to Store Manager: The Path Nobody Explains”
- “What to Say in a Performance Review When You Want a Raise”
- “First-Time Supervisor: The Five Mistakes Every New Manager Makes”
- “How Financial Stress Affects Job Performance, and What Employees Can Do”
8. For Employers & HR
The other side of the table: how to interview candidates, structured hiring, HR tools and payroll systems, onboarding, compliance, small-business hiring, and managing teams. Product comparisons are welcome when they are honest and cover more than one vendor.
- “How to Run a Structured Interview for Hourly Roles (With a Scorecard Template)”
- “Best Payroll Systems for Restaurants With Under 50 Employees, Compared”
- “AI in Hiring: Where Bias Creeps In and How Small Employers Can Avoid It”
- “How to Write a Job Posting That Gets Applications From the Right People”
What we do not accept
- Topics outside the eight categories: general marketing, social media, productivity, crypto, gambling, essay writing services, adult content, anything unrelated to work and hiring.
- Generic articles that could run on any site (“Top 10 Interview Tips”). If we already cover the topic, pitch a sharper angle or a different employer.
- Thin content, spun or copied text, or unedited AI output. We check.
- Articles that are a product pitch with a title on top. Mention your product where it is genuinely relevant, once, and teach the rest of the time.
Guidelines
| Length | 1,200 to 2,000 words. Company guides and salary pieces can run longer if the detail earns it. |
| Originality | Unpublished, written for us, and not republished elsewhere afterward. We run originality and AI checks. |
| Structure | H2/H3 headings, short paragraphs, specifics over generalities. Sample answers, numbers, and step-by-step beats opinion. See our article structure guide. |
| Sources | Pay figures, statistics, and policy claims need a source we can check. Link to it. |

| Author | A real name and a two-line bio explaining why you know this. Company bylines are accepted for the employer section. |
| Images | Optional. If you include them, they must be yours or properly licensed. |

We also publish sponsored articles and accept link insertions in existing articles, in the same eight categories and to the same editorial standard. If your product or service is relevant to job seekers, career changers, or employers, tell us what you have in mind and we will send current options. Sponsored posts are marked as such.
