Editorial Coordinator Interview Questions

2,690 editorial coordinator interview questions shared by candidates

I was asked very contrived questions about "if you were in X scenario, how would you react?" and asked to rate my skills in certain areas out of 10 - even though I filled out pre-interview questions on the same topics beforehand. In other words, they tested how well I can "pass an interview" rather than actually getting to know me. Despite the role being English, they tested me on my (sadly poor) Afrikaans skills, which felt a bit intrusive.

Tell me about yourself What do you see yourself doing in the future? ---It was mostly me being told about the company and the position and I would interject whenever I was being told about tasks I would be doing and talk about how it's a good fit for me because I have experience in it and find other ways to bring up my experience in a conversational setting.
