Pearson Education Senior Project Manager Interview
Posted Feb 12, 2013 2013-02-12 11:48 PST
No Offer – Interviewed in Menlo Park, CA (US) Jan 2013 – Reviewed Feb 12, 2013
Interview Details I contacted the HR after graduating since I did an internship wth this company regarding open positions in Project Management in California. The HR sent me a link to do an interview online that had seven questions and also asked me to upload my most recent resume and some personal info. The interview questions were very specific to the position and I believe not very related to my past professional experiences. They were looking for a senior project management and I haven't had so many years of experience in this field. I never received any response either from the HR or from the manager. I think the company should have a better retention program after we put so much work and effort during our internship and could at least contact the candidates to let then know the results.
