I applied online. I interviewed at Oxford University Press
Interview
Overall a smooth process, with clear indications on next steps and offer presented in line with timelines. Not too difficult and very much focused on experience in the education industry as well as question around what would I do in a specific sales scenario

Question 1
How would you overcome challenges in the sales cycle?
Very smooth and supportive and a great learning though. Tricky questions in interview so prepare yourself accordingly. English communication level should be more than enough and try to write down the answers of your questions and keep a strict eye on your gesture and posture while online video interview

Question 1
Introduce yourself
Why you
Professional achievements so far
Any course taken to improve your skills and career
Situation when you resolve a problem
2 interviews - first by Skype, second face-to-face in Oxford.
The interviews themselves were fine, and the managers interviewing me were friendly, clear and informative. I was given a short presentation task to prepare in advance, which was easy to do, although the demo product I was given seemed to have some bugs.
This didn't leave me with a good impression. The salary on offer was also very low, and I decided to withdraw my application after the interview.
Any interactions with HR, both prior to the interview and afterwards, when attempting to claim expenses for interview attendance, were negative. I had to chase the HR officer each time for a response, and when the responses came, they were generally unhelpful.
