I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TASCHEN (London, England)
Interview
There were two executives, a male and a female. This was in July 2011 in London. One from Germany. They were first late to call me in. No apology. From the start, something felt off. The two kept giving each other “secret” glances and giggled. I felt like I was just watching two people having an affair. It was the most unprofessional behaviour I have seen in a job interview, and I have had a successful career in six countries.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at TASCHEN (Köln) in Sep 2023
Interview
Die Jobbeschreibung klang viel interessanter, als der Job es eigentlich ist. Viele der besseren Aufgaben in der Beschreibung bekommt man nur unter bestimmten Umständen, die erst Imo Gespräch und nicht aus der Beschreibung hervor gehen. Kompetitivität wird gefördert und gutgeheißen. Gehalt passt ganz und gar nicht zu den Erwartungen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Über welches Thema sollte es meiner Meinung nach ein TASCHEN Buch geben.
The interview developed into a series of questions related to previous employment, experiences in sales overall, skill sets etc
They they followed with a set of questions on book sales experiences specifically finishing with some on expectations regarding the company.
