Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Penguin Random House em set. de 2021
Entrevista
Pre-recorded online interview for the first stage, felt very impersonal and pointless - very standard questions were asked. They included ‘bloopers’ to show that not even the current company employees were comfortable with the online interview process, but it felt disingenuous and forced. It did not give you any idea about the company culture.

* I'm a strong candidate and took the process seriously because I cared about the role and was excited to have the opportunity. It is exceptionally disappointing to have been let down by such a respectable company. All that effort and preparation and care for an automated rejection email after silence for two weeks?? Wow. I don't have much else to say.

All the questions were fair and trying to get to know me. E.g., tell us about yourself, what are you reading at the moment, tell us about your experience.

Entrevista
Interviewed over Zoom. Prior to the interview, I had to read a couple of manuscripts and write evaluations of them. They got back to me about their decision within a few days of the interview. I appreciated that they had me practice some of the essential duties of the position and that they did not ghost me.
