I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (London, England)

Applied online through their website. Asked to interview 2 weeks later. Competency based interview with 2 members of staff for one hour and then a timed test (proofreading and writing).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Every single question was competency based, "tell me about a time when you..." All senarios based on person spec.
The process involves two steps. First, they ask the candidates to complete a task within a certain amount of time (around 50 mins). This includes different activities, such as marking up question papers, writing a response email. After that, the panel interviews the candidate, which usually involves asking competency-based questions.
The interview process was as you would expect, there wasn’t too many call backs, just an application online, followed by a two stage interview
. They do ask you to complete a task such as respond to a complaint to see your writing ability maybe. Otherwise no negatives.
