Contrary to initial beliefs, the role has nothing to do with publishing. It's more on coding.
The whole process begins with a grammar test and a BUPLAS Writing Assessment (Google it). You will also write emails responding to clients' queries in a very limited time. Next is the coding test. Don't sweat this out too much because Reuters will provide a guide anyway, and it's things you probably know from high school.
Take note that each step is progressive. You will be sent out of the room once you fail a step.
The tests are fairly easy, the interviews, not so.
The first interview is from the test facilitator. Expected salary, job experience, do you know about coding.
The 2nd interview is from HR. There will be a reading test and a monologue. You only have a minute to review. Afterwards is an interview. Tell me something interesting about yourself. Talk about a mistake you did. If you're willing to stick to their training bond for a year lest you pay P50,000.
3rd and supposedly last interview with Hiring Managers is nerve-wrecking. They will grill you on what you know about the job. They, cause it's a panel interview. They will base off things you said from the interview awhile ago for you to expound. Such as the challenges you overcame.
That supposedly is the last interview before the Candidate Connect, but they questioned me about my knowledge on the Job Description. I had initially thought it would be good for the line of publishing but it isn't.
They recommended me for another interview with other Managers, and sadly I didn't make it because the job is not in line with my career path. I wish they had properly informed though, even if the awkward atmosphere gives away the fact that I won't make the cut.
