      Application

      I interviewed at Oxford University Press

      Interview

      I was invited to interview via an online portal, where I booked a timeslot for this to occur over Teams. I was asked to prepare a presentation, which I delivered over Teams. Then interview questions followed. There were technical issues which flustered me somewhat, but the interviewers were generally understanding. The questions were generally geared around understanding the educational publishing market. I wasn't given any indication of when I would hear of any follow up or feedback. Two months later, I still haven't heard anything. My only indication I had that I didn't get the job was when I saw it re-advertised. No feedback was offered, and my emails asking for feedback were ignored. This felt incredibly rude, and I was completely turned off the company based on this response.

      Question 1

      What is your understanding of the educational publishing market? Who are our biggest competitors?
