I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2025
Interview
Very friendly and welcoming interviewers, in-person initial interview to share work and introduce yourself, then a design task related to the job position using actual photography and copy from a book, then a virtual follow-up interview meeting some of the wider team (this interview was a lot more question based and formal than the initial interview)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The initial interview was less formal, it was more a case of introductions and sharing work (physical printed works and a digital portfolio). The virtual interview was way more formal and question based.

Interview
First there was an assessment to be completed over the weekend, followed by an HR screen, then an interview with the hiring manager. Overall the process was very reasonable, and happened quickly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked why I was interested in the job, how my experience connected to the job description, and how I tend to communicate (i.e., they wanted to hear about using chat only for urgent issues, and email for the rest)

Interview
The HR interview went really well. Be prepared for questions about organization and task management. Also, research the imprint you’re interviewing with it shows initiative and that you’re genuinely interested.
