Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Editor Interview

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took 2 weeks)

I had an initial phone interview with HR, and then a one-on-one with HR. After making it through these two phases, I was brought in for an interview with several department heads. The interview process was fairly easy and low-key. I had no editorial skills, but came from an industry where they often recruit personnel. For the entry-level position that I interviewed for, they were more interested in my ability to learn rather than what I knew.
