Behavioral Presentation
Don't waste your time applying here. If you get lucky enough to get an interview, you'll quickly realize they only hire experienced people for entry-level roles. They seem friendly during the interview, but afterward, they'll say they hired someone already doing the job elsewhere or that they had more experienced candidates. It's an entry-level role, which means you shouldn't need experience. It makes you question why experienced people apply for low-paying entry-level jobs and why OUP is being difficult by only hiring experienced individuals. Don't bother applying to OUP. They want lots of experience and will pay below average.

There was a pre-submission phone call, then a phone screen with the recruiter. After that, I had an in-person interview with the director. Then there was another in-person interview with multiple team members that took place over a month. I was told I'd hear back in a week, but it took two weeks and multiple attempts to reach them. Finally, they called me late on a Friday to reject me. The feedback wasn't helpful; they said my experience was 'great' but gave vague reasons for the rejection. The questions weren't structured and didn't seem to cover the full scope of my experience.

I applied straight to Oxford University Press with my CV and a cover letter for a job that was advertised. Not long after the closing date, they emailed me an offer for a first interview. It was about 45 minutes long, and I had a proofreading task to do after.
