      Royalty Administrator Interview

      19 Aug 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Colchester, England
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (Colchester, England) in Aug 2019

      Interview

      The interview was 45 minutes long, this included a 10 min mental maths & accuracy test (no calculator). Both interviewers were really friendly. They asked the usual questions and emphasised that either way you will receive interview feedback, which is great. I got asked for an interview and had a week to prepare, i then got feedback 3 days after. Do your research into the company and prepare for the usual situational questions and you will be fine.
