I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier (New Delhi) in May 2021
Interview
I applied for journal administrator post through relx workday. I got a call within two days. They wer discussing regarding my previous experience and salary expectation. The next day I was informed that I have to undergo green book online test followed by verbal. I cleared both tests. I was happy that I will get through HR round. After two weeks I attended HR round. He was checking my competency level through previous experience . It was related to how I handled various issues at work place. But I guess HR was not satisfied with my answer. He told me that they ll.get back to me. But I dint receive any calls until three weeks. I myself called the HR to check whether I was selected but she told my profile I rejected.
I felt like they could have given me an opportunity. I had good communication skill. I cleared both letter drafting and verbal. I was in teaching field and had only four months of experience in e publishing industry. I felt this role would fetch me basic knowledge abt publishing field and I can develop my skills. Unfortunately I dint get through. A gentle request to people hiring . kindly consider the efforts shown by people who r new to the field. They ll surely contribute their best. Kindly update if the website if the profile is not short listed.
