      ELT Consultant (Or Manager, When the Applications Process Began) Interview

      17 Jan 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seoul
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Oxford University Press (Seoul) in Sept 2015

      Interview

      Three months after I had applied, during which time I heard nothing, OUP made contact to show interest. There were a couple of intreviews, one by Skype and then one in person. The Skype interview was a longish conversation with a representative in Tokyo for a position in Seoul. I learned he would oversee my work in Seoul from Tokyo as I worked in an office with the OUP staff in Seoul--I would be the only one whose supervisor was not on site. Other than this, the conversation went well. I was invited into the OUP offices in Seoul for an on-site interview with him and the local OUP staff. This included a Korean woman whose title I can't remember who was in charge of everything in the Seoul office as well as a couple of Korean sales reps. I had an interview and then gave a presentation on a book, as my job was to consist mostly of presenting books for sales and teacher trainings. The Korean salesmen, who were young, didn't have great English but were engaged. The woman spent most of the time sending texts back and forth with someone about how little she was enjoying being there, and the Tokyo supervisor, a British gentleman, didn't seem to care. Perhaps this was normal behavior from her and was deemed acceptable. My presentation didn't go as well as the Tokyo supervisor would have liked, the woman--who would apparently have been an "other" supervisor that I hadn't been told about via Skype--was definitively uninterested, and I didn't get the job.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me a lot about their books and what I knew of them.
