Penguin Random House interview questions

I got contacted about taking a skills assessment for the position about a week after I applied to the job. The skills test gave me 72 hours to write a report on a 30 pg book proposal and dust jacket copy for a 250 pg novel manuscript. About a week and a half after that, I did an HR screen and then an interview with each of the two editors I would be working with. The last step after that was a reference check. The whole process took about a month total.

The first round is getting past the machine. Then, a blind assessment, and then an HR Interview. The overall process can take weeks and sometimes you can be left hanging.
