I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2020
Interview
I applied online with a resume and cover letter. I then had a phone interview with a Director. Following that, I had an in-person interview with the Director and two additional Publicity/Marketing Directors. After that, I had an interview with the Director and Communications VP. And finally, I had to create a publicity outline for a book of my choosing (I was given three books to choose from).

Question 1
Tell us about a time when you approached a campaign one way, but needed to change your approach, and why did you need to change?
I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process was fairly quick and easy. I was referred by current employee. Everyone was friendly and engaging, and willing to answer questions. I had several follow up conversations and they took the time to find answers to my questions that were not answered in the interview.

Interview
Very friendly and communicative. Did a total of 4 interviews with different staff. Ultimately didn't get the job but it was a positive experience nonetheless.
They asked about my experience, how I communicate effectively, and what made me want to work for them.
