I was interviewed online using the skype id face to face. I didn't have headphones available so the interview coordinater asked me to type about my background , ideas and the concepts learned and so interview was conducted in a chat way.

I was asked to name the story I would like to cover. As I learned about the job opening from the colleague, that is the boss/bureau chief who was among the people who interviewed me, I presumed (never presume!!!! that I learned) that they were hiring a political writer. Turns out I am quite useless in calculus without a calculator, and I found all the maths problems overwhelming, especially since multiplication and division are my weak sides. So the bureau chief comes at one point, I was just half way through, and he takes the papers from me, saying I have had enough time. The following interview went well, but I messed up the test bit, so I got no offer.

Expected me to state a salary range without having offered me a job. When I asked if we were at the stage of them formally providing an offer of employment, I got a nothing response. Effectively, they wanted to pressure someone into working for peanuts.
