Interview
Pearson's online careers page is easy to navigate. It allows you to import your information straight from LinkedIn or upload a resume. I applied for many positions but only heard back about one of them. I did not receive emails or phone calls acknowledging my other applications. I did, however, receive weekly updates about new positions available.
As far as hiring processes go for my internship, I had it fairly easy. I received an email requesting a time for a phone interview. The interview lasted approximately 30-minutes. Two days after the phone interview, I received one email asking me to complete an online application that was more detailed than the original. The next day I received another email asking me to call Human Resources.

Interview
An in-house editor set up a 20-30 minutes call on Microsoft Teams. For background, I have never worked in a publishing house, and it was my first interview. Overall, the interviewer was professional, and at the end of the call, he gave me a few pointers to improve my future interviews.

Question 1
How many levels of editing are there? What level of editing do you do?
The job can get hectic, and you may have to put in extra hours. How good are you at handling pressure, assuming that all the titles you work on are on priority?
You will communicate with clients and the editor and tally their suggestions and editing. How will you organize it? Are you proficient in spreadsheets?

Interview
Had to complete an awkward online video "interview" which took nearly 2 hours. Questions were vague and did not really allow me to sell myself like they wanted. Would have killed an in-person interview.

Interview
Três entrevistas: duas com o RH, e uma com a gestora da área. As entrevistas com o RH foram mais específicas quanto ao cargo, a com a gestora foi mais uma conversa informal.
