Question 1
Describe a time you encountered conflict in the workplace and how you worked to resolve it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (London, England) in Oct 2017
Interview

I find the ghosting really offensive, if someone is going to go to the trouble of preparing for an interview for a company they are excited to work for, at least have the decency to tell them no.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY)
Interview
