Interviewed Mar 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
A couple emails from HR to confirm an in-person interview. Interview was only 28 minutes; asked about previous experience/why I chose Simon and Schuster/why an interest in editorial/what books I read/what type of supervisor I'm looking for. I was also asked to list three character traits about myself. Fairly standard questions.

Interviewed Apr 2008 (took 2 weeks)
Although I expected the interview to be intense, it turned out to be fairly relaxed and comfortable. The HR manager asked me about my background and we discussed my interest in the field. I was invited to take a tour around the various departments and then we reviewed some of my previous work. I was contacted a few weeks later and fortunately received the position I had hoped for.

Interviewed May 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I got an email tell me to call someone in HR. We chatted, when over simple questions like my previous experience, how I found out about the internship. She asked what I was interested in. I mistakenly downplayed one of my major skills which directly related to the area I wanted to intern in, which might be why she told me it was already filled. I was offered two different areas and after I chose one, she asked me questions related to the department. This was much easier than I had assumed.
