I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wiley (Hoboken, NJ) in Aug 2011
Interview
Phone call. Then in-person. I took several tests: grammar, proofreading, and e-mail writing. (The last was a case study wherein I was given a situation and I had to craft an e-mail to someone about it.) Then,I chatted with the hiring manager, who corrected my tests in front of me and commented on my work. And finally, I talked with the HR professional, who told me a little bit more about the company at large. The whole process between first e-mail asking to schedule a phone screen to the actual offer letter took less than 2 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mr. Joe Schmoe is a senior editor for one of our publications. His submission is 3 weeks late. Craft an e-mail asking for the submission, keeping in mind that he is very high ranking in the XYZ community.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wiley (Hoboken, NJ) in Aug 2014
Interview
Met with 4 people - 2 editors I'd be working for, the Senior Assistant, and the product designer. One editor worked off-site so we had a phone interview alone in a conference room. Everyone was very helpful and spoke to me as if I already had the job. They asked questions about my personal life, such as school, what I did for fun, etc.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wiley (Hoboken, NJ) in Jan 2013
Interview
Networked to find someone within the company to recommend me. The HR department is understaffed and quite a few people have recently been laid off so they prefer referrals and internal candidates. I finally met with my future manager two weeks after the screening call, but from there, it was a very quick process. About two days after meeting my manager, I received an offer. They liked that I asked a lot of insightful questions and knew a lot about Wiley's legacy.
