Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso TransPerfect (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
Quite a lot of steps and time invested.
Applied online, HR contacted me and I had a telephone interview, then a proofreading assessment at home, then I was invited to an interview at their offices. 2 people interviewed me followed by another proofreading assessment and numeracy test, then followed by another interview with 2 people. I was there for almost 2 and a half hours! Both sets of interviews asked pretty much the same questions.
I almost didn't go to this interview because there are some pretty terrible things written about this company. I'm glad I went because interview practice is always useful and the people were friendlier than I thought they would be. As you can imagine, it is very corporate and there was a LOT of focus on stress, e.g what makes you stressed/ how do you deal with stress/what was your most stressful day. I'm sure this kind of company fits some but I could see where some of the reviews were coming from.
I mentioned the negative reviews I had read to hear their side (perhaps this wasn't wise of me) and funnily enough there are now a load of new reviews that seem too good to be true....

What skill areas do you need to improve on?
How do you handle stress?
First call with HR, then with Dept Manager, then in-person interview with hiring managers. The whole process was quick, hiring managers were lovely and the questions were aligned with the role. Interview with Detp Manager was easy.
