      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Macmillan (New York, NY) in Jul 2017

      Interview

      I applied directly through a recruiter, and scheduled an interview within 48 hours of sending my information along. I met with two senior executives and the interview took at least an hour. The first half of the interview, we talked about the position, my experiences and reading preferences, The second half of the interview I answered some typical interview questions and some tougher, situational questions.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      If you were stranded on an island for a year, but could have a subscription to any 5 newspapers or magazines, what would they be?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Imagine you had to send an author to a conference in L.A., and they had a presentation at noon and 7:00 p.m. You've sent along books to accompany both the 12:00 and 7:00 presentations, which successfully arrived weeks before the conference date. The day before the presentations, the conference organizers call you and say that they opened the box of books that should be accompanying the noon presentation and they are the incorrect books and incorrect author. The warehouse has the books you need in stock, and can send them overnight but they won't arrive to L.A. until 3:00 p.m. the day of the conference. How do you handle the situation?
