Very complete resume and cover letter as well as several additional questions. Must be able to link to previously published books. Your application will not be considered without a published portfolio.

This entire process was a real waste of my time. First, I had to rewrite an excerpt of a book, which took quite a while because I was trying to do a good job. Then, I was invited to suffer through a 45-minute personality assessment test where I informed BIAB of the nuances of my personality and my fitness for the position through the selection of 3D boxes. By this point, I still was not deemed valuable enough for a real interview, so I had to record myself doing a one-way interview. I agree with the other poster who mentioned that this was a dehumanizing experience. Next, the real interview. The auto-response email told me that as soon as I chose a time on the rep's calendar, I would be forwarded a link I would need for the interview. I never received the link. I emailed BIAB's rep several times, and never received a response. After suddenly getting the flu the day prior to the interview (and by this point, I still had not received the interview link or a response), I tried reaching out to the rep. numerous times. I didn't hear back. I canceled the initial time and rescheduled on her online calendar, emailed her once or twice to inform her of the new time and ask for a confirmation, and still didn't hear back. A few days later, when it was time for the interview, the BIAB rep. wasn't there. She finally showed up late and told me she was busy and wanted to do it another time. Okay. Finally, the interview. It was bland and quick, and she seemed to be in a hurry to go. She told me I'd hear back within one week. Over a week had passed with no response. Because of all the horrible reviews left on here--and because of my experiences thus far with a disorganized rep who fails to communicate effectively--I assumed I would not hear anything. I wrote, stating that I would have appreciated a thank you email for all the time I had invested in this process. The BIAB rep. responded with a snarky email about how I shouldn't make assumptions and that she had not made her decision yet. Within a day or two, she responded that I didn't make it. Of course. My informed assumption is that she had already decided by the time I had written her, but was incensed that someone had dared to question her inability to keep on top of her work. If this BIAB rep. and the interview process is representative of one's experience working at BIAB, then I am content that I don't have to work daily in a highly disorganized company with condescending colleagues.
