      Content Coordinator Interview

      6 Feb 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Belmont, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cengage (Belmont, CA) in Oct 2010

      Interview

      After submitting my application on the Cengage website, I had to wait several months before being called, so it was quite the pleasant surprise. A phone interview was the first step; following successful completion of the 30-minute, low-pressure interview was the proofreading test, which was e-mailed to me. I was given a week to complete the test and asked to keep track of the time I spent on it. The test, which consisted of homework questions containing grammatical and formatting errors for me to identify and correct, was only about five pages long, but I spent about eight fun-filled hours to make sure I had been thorough. Several days after submitting the test, I was informed that I had received a passing grade and was called in to the Belmont office for an in-person interview. The interview was an all-day affair, consisting of seven 30-minute interviews with employees from the entry-level position for which I was applying up to middle management. Everyone was pretty chill; I got the feeling that the decision I was qualified for the position had already been made based on my resume and the proofreading test, and that now their goal was to determine whether I would be a good fit. It was all very informal, and I even felt overdressed in my suit while everyone else was wearing jeans and T-shirts (not that I recommend dressing that way to interview, but I think business casual would have done just fine). The coolest thing was probably that they provided lunch, which not only tasted yummy but also allowed me to see how employees at different levels interacted with each other. As I recall, we mainly talked about the strange behavior of certain employees' cats and how to stave off an addiction to Diet Coke.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Apparently, "emission" can, in fact, be pluralized by tacking an "s" onto the end; it is not a collective noun like "water." This was the only question on the proofreading test I did not immediately kick myself for having missed.
