WordAppeal
Content Champion (Editorial Project Manager) was asked...November 20, 2014

None, since they are that kind of company that would pick you for another round, and then not bother to inform you whether you made it through or not.

Considering previous experience with WordAppeal - an application a year previously, and a conversation during an employent forum at my university - I got the impression that they do have a serious HR problem. Less

When I used to work there it was the same. Revolving door of staff, no follow up on interviews, tests, CVs...sounds likes they should hire an "HR champion", or whatever on-trend word they're using these days... Less

WordAppeal

Nommez un site internet bien conçu. Pourquoi le pensez-vous bien construit ?

1 Answers

You need to know about good editorial formats: what makes a website "arborescence" work or not work, deep vs. shallow formats, what makes web content good or not, digital trends (motion design, infographics, interactive formats), social media integration, etc. If you really know your stuff, you'll also want to know about Content Management Systems (CMS): which ones work well for what needs, talk about which ones you have experience with, etc. Additionally: know corporate websites across the major industries of the French CAC 40 and be able to discuss them intelligently. WordAppeal has won awards for designing a number of intranets and internets, most notably for Elior (Top/Com) and more recently, Pernod Ricard. Less
