      Publisher' S Representative Interview

      Nov 9, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Grand Rapids, MI
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Grand Rapids, MI) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      Applied through Linkedin and received a call from the hiring manager a few days later. During the call we spoke more about each other than we did the position. I was then asked to interview in person that next week. After the interview, I got a call that night and was informed that I would be moving on to the next step which would require me to do a research project (campus project). I would have to spend a day on a college campus interviewing bookstore management and professors to gain insight into how publishing reps work with faculty, also how the faculty makes their decisions on their chosen resources. I then had to compile all of this information and create a report to be submitted. After submitting the project I was informed that I would be interviewing again with the sales director from the first interview, a regional sales director, and a technology specialist. I was also informed that I needed to study Pearson's online learning tools because I would be participating in a mock sales situation, and I would also be presenting my campus project to the group.
