      Administrative Interview

      17 Mar 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson in Nov 2009

      Interview

      The interview process was pretty common. After applying online, the company contacted me via email and phone. The HR assistant set up an phone interview and she screened me for the position. She made basic questions abou qualifications and experiences. She also asked about salary and benefits expectation. Three days after the phone interview, my in-person interview was set up. During that part I went through a skills test. The in person interview took a little bit more than 1 1/2 hour. I got the notice that I was accepted 2 days later.
