      Copy Editor Interview

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Penguin Random House

      Interview

      It was a normal process, not much information. I have to write these things to continue using this, I guess. They asked a question about my work experience and why I wanted to work there. I got a sample essay to edit.

      Copy Editor Interview

      30 Aug 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (London, England)

      Interview

      The interview was done via an online video interviewing tool called HireVue. Once you start the interview, you have time to prepare for each question and then a time limit in which to answer each question in real time, about three minutes per question. You don't see anybody but, like a face to face interview, there is no pausing or stopping the interview once it has begun. However, you can move on to the next question when you have finished giving your answer. It took about 15 minutes to complete.
