Editorial Assistant Interview

May 24, 2016

Anonymous Interview Candidate

No offer

Positive experience

Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Macmillan (New York, NY) in Apr 2016

Interview

Contacted on very short notice for the final day of interviews. HR asked for an in-office interview although my application stated I'm outside the metro area. HR and the department I interviewed with was very accommodating to my request for a video interview. I spoke with several editors and the process took a total of about 2 hours.
