Packt Coordinator Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process is quite lengthy. They'll have you come in for a walk-in interview, but it seems like nobody from the hiring team is actually there to conduct it. There are a total of 4 rounds: first, you write an essay, then you do a formal letter writing task. After that, you'll interview with the hiring manager, and finally, with the project manager. You'll end up spending your whole day at the office.

We were given an essay to write about ourselves and what makes us who we are. After that, we were called into a different room, though it wasn't clear if it was based on the essay or random. We were then given two formal letters to write and a simple logical reasoning test. We were told we'd hear back by the next evening. I got a call that day but missed it. When I called back, the receptionist told me to call again the next day. I finally got through to HR and was told I wasn't selected, with no reason given. I don't think I was initially called for a walk-in just to be rejected; perhaps they filled the positions before I could be considered for the next day's interview. I wish they'd given a more honest answer than a flimsy excuse.

I went through 3 rounds of interviews on November 13th, 2013. The first was an essay writing task where I had to write about 250 words on a given topic to check my writing, grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. The second was a letter writing task where I had to write two professional, error-free, and concise business letters on provided topics. The third was an aptitude test with about 20 easy logical reasoning and basic math questions. After finishing, I was told to leave and received a call from HR the next day for a brief interview where they asked basic questions like why I chose this role and company, my interest, and why I left my previous job. The HR mentioned they would make an offer, but I declined further discussion as their expectations didn't match mine.
