I had a brief phone interview although this felt informal, it was mainly to ask if I would be willing to relocate and why I am interested in the role. I was then invited to an interview in the London office. This was with two people who were very friendly. It began with two tasks, one involved categorising abstracts into the different journals and the second involved a few short questions, one was calculating percentage changes. I was then first asked questions relating to the role and what I know about publishing and open access. I remember being asked what I expect my day as an assistant editor to look like, what I understand about open access, why would I be good in the role. I was then asked competency based questions such as a time I worked well under pressure, a time I made a difficult decision, how do I manage conflict, what kind of environment do I work best in. I was given a chance to ask questions at the end . I had a good experience at the interview but after not hearing for 2 weeks I called them myself and they informed me someone else had taken the position but advised me to apply to another one. I was disappointed they did not contact me to tell me I had not got the position after having an interview. They then contacted me a few weeks later asking if I was still available as another assistant editor position was available though I did not follow-up on this.
