      Publicity Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in May 2014

      Interview

      First, I had a 15 minute phone screening with a woman in HR. She informed me that I would be interviewing with the woman who would be my mentor. The next phone call was much longer. It was about a 20 minute interview with HR, then 40 minute interview with the publicity manager. The HR rep seemed a little bored, but I really bonded with the team that I was going to be working with.

      Question 1

      What are your three strengths and three weaknesses? Why publishing? Why children's books? Why publicity?
