Chatted through my portfolio along with some standard interview questions.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Hachette UK (London, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
It was a nice, straight-forward, pleasant interview, held virtually, with a panel of two. Turnaround following my application to interview was quick - only a couple of days after the job advert deadline. Felt relaxed and comfortable with the panel. They started the process by telling me about the company and the role, and followed with scenario questions. It felt more like a conversation if anything.
