      Portfolio Management Assistant Interview

      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Pearson

      Interview

      Received an automated invite from HR to a recorded video interview through Montage. There are six questions on your screen and you film your responses, excepting for a couple multiple choice and typed answers. Also had to film an intro - I kept that to 90 seconds and treated it like a verbal cover letter. They have a notepad app you can use for reference while you're recording. You could re-record as many times as you wanted; there was also an option to record on your own and then upload the videos to Montage. Once you enter the "interview room" you can stop and start as often as you want but you have to submit it within 48 hrs. They also asked me to upload my resume.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      Rate your Excel skills on scale of 1-10 with 10 being power user and explain why you picked that number (typed response)

      Question 2
