I applied online. I interviewed at Hodder & Stoughton (London, England)
Interview
Both interviewers were very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say during the interview. I didn't get the position, but they took the time to offer me feedback by telephone rather than the usual email which was nice. I would definitely apply to this company again.
