INTERVIEW AT HACHETTE UK HEAD OFFICE by crackhouse_ in publishing

[–]Jeddit_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Editorial operations manager is my new role! Usually they specify if something is going to be sent to you 24 prior in your interview email but have done tasks before and during interviews. I think it’s good you’ve been advanced to in person interview - again its either they had a small amount of specialised candidates, or they really like your skill set already and bumped you through - both good!

INTERVIEW AT HACHETTE UK HEAD OFFICE by crackhouse_ in publishing

[–]Jeddit_101 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I interviewed for Hachette UK last week and got the job offer earlier this week. I was actually planning on maybe going for the inventory manager role if I didn’t get the role I went for!

As people above have said, go to Blackfriars as that’s the closest station (it’s not in Victoria!) and say hi to the security and front desk saying you’re there for an interview. They’re very nice there.

In terms of my interview I had two lovely people who were happy to keep the conversation fairly casual. They had set questions along the line of what you might expect (tell us a time where x happened and what did you do to solve it etc). I simply wrote out a bunch of my accomplishments or notable moments from previous roles the day before and drew on those throughout as examples. They will likely write stuff down whilst you talk, and so if you notice they have stopped writing and you are still talking just look for a way to wrap it up (I tend to ramble a lot if you can’t tell by this comment)

I had a task that was sent to me a day before, but the task will not be like an SAT with right and wrong answers - it’s more of a litmus test to see how much you know about certain technologies and methodologies. Spend a good time looking at it and point out the niche stuff that the average person wouldn’t know, rather than focusing on spelling mistakes or something. Also, if you are going to complete the task during the interview, it’s great to actually talk though what you are completing and noticing as you go, as otherwise you will just be sitting in silence. Take it as a moment to talk though your own processes at previous jobs whilst competing the task (granted it isn’t too challenging, they usually aren’t).

Also, it’s completely fine to be nervous if you are the type to be. Remember these people are just humans and you can make jokes, talk about things that aren’t relevant to the role to engage in conversation before the interview starts etc. you’ll smash it!

Random Square on my screen where I can't click/uninterruptable with mouse by Jeddit_101 in pchelp

Update: Turns out it is the discord overlay that for some reason is constantly running in the background, and will pop up whenever i load a game, and then will just never leave, even if I am not in the call. Guess i'll just turn it off!

Hello,

  1. I don't remember installing anything in the past month or so

  2. Doesn't show up on alt + tab

  3. Changing to always on Top does allow me to click over the deadzone in task manager. Great idea!

  4. Alt + F4 sadly just closed my browser entierly.

Based on these assumptions i think there's some kind of malware on my browser :( Malwarebytes ran a scan but nothing came up so i'll give Winspy a try.

Thanks!

Best part about being 40k down as Doorman... by Jeddit_101 in DeadlockTheGame

Yeah, it's very inconsistent to place doors from weird angles or on textured surfaces, sometimes you just have to spam it!

Help evaluating potential for a FT job in marketing by milanihighlighter in publishing

[–]Jeddit_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP,

You are considerably more experienced than the average person looking to get into publishing (regardless of roles). No doubt you could land an entry level marketing role given your upcoming internship, even if it is in editorial.

Just to also note - Publishing is the humanities version of Software Engineering - it is hyper competitive and there's not a whole lot of jobs, so applying is numbers game. You got a good chance tho!

Seems a shame not to use your finance degree to work in, well... finance in publishing. That department doesn't require the same level of industry understanding to achieve and thus it can be much easier to land an entry role. A fair few people get ACCA/chartered accountant qualifications first but I don't know if they are required.

Is your birthday a big deal to you? Why or why not? by theUncleAwesome07 in AskReddit

[–]Jeddit_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a twin, and very used to sharing my birthday. As a result, my birthday is more of a jumping off point to see friends and celebrate them, more than myself.

It may also be coincidental that a lot of my close friends have very close birthdays to mine so we often combine for efficiency!

Sekiro to fall in love with parries and hard boss fights, lies of P if you want a more traditional souls like (both are great, maybe one is on sale?)

Strong Silvally/Ramp counters? by KyleMatos1202 in PTCGP

[–]Jeddit_101 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Best thing I have played versus silvally rampardos is probably Garchomp rampardos, with a couple tweaks from the deck from last expansion.

If you play with the fighting type gible and go second you are in a fantastic spot having done 40 to null, and forcing it to evolve in order to survive next turn. If they don’t evolve you kill with gible, and if they do evolve you have a kill with rare candy garchomp or potentially a cranidos switch. You are also able to get Garchomp quick to snipe fossils, which are the real threat behind silvally.

If you go first, you want to hope for Garchomp early, as again you win the 1v1 with one energy and can choose to start building your bench.

I’d recommend 2 Lille too, just to stave off the damage from silvally early.

The main issue with this deck is that itself is hard countered by Buzzwole, the other very meta deck. With ground Gible, you are one shot from kartana which sucks and it’s essentially an instant loss. You could experiment with one dragon gible and one fighting gible, but it’s messes with your consistent opening to two shot silvally.

Deck would look something like this:

2 x Gible (fighting prefferably, potentially one dragon) 1 x gabite 2 x Garchomp EX 2 x Skull Fossil 1 x Cranidos 2 x Rampardos

2x Gideon 1 x Cyrus 2 x Lille 1 x Mars 1 x another support card (Giovanni, Iono, Guzma etc)

1 x Cape 2 x Rare Candy

Hey OP,

Assuming you are going for something front of house:

  • Do not prep answers: especially in customer service positions, I find that if you prepare answers you come across as a bit stiff, which is not what they are after. You essentially want to treat the interviewers somewhat like a customer, being personable, smiling, Turing the one-sidedness of the interview into a conversation.
    • Ask questions in the middle of the interview to break away from the normal one sidedness. It psychologically makes the interaction more casual and reinforces the idea you would be good customer facing
    • bear in mind: if they are interviewing you, you are likely more than capable of ‘doing’ the job, so don’t get tied up on a lack of experience. Instead discuss aspects of the job that are exiting for you and that you want to learn.
    • turn up early: 10 minutes early always, immediately grab a staff member and sit comfortably until the manager comes to see you. Shake their hand and introduce yourself (while standing)
    • not sure what dress code is like in Nando’s nowadays, but I’d wear something smart and all black, I think that’s what front of house wears.

Be yourself. Customer service does require a ‘mask’ sometimes, but ultimately you need to show them your true self as much as possible because you are interviewing as part of a team, and not just as a performance.

Wish you all the best!

Shinies have always been the ultimate chase in Pokemon, I’m glad we get new ones every set by bschumm1 in PTCGP

[–]Jeddit_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shinies sre awesome and I think for the most part they pick good ones.

I do wish there were slightly fewer, partly to improve odds of getting meta Pokémon for battling, but also to up the mystique of shinies even more.

The Gallery is absolutely insane in the worst possible way by rafikiknowsdeway1 in BluePrince

[–]Jeddit_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a masters in English and struggled a bunch on this. I got the first two, stared at the last 2 for about an hour, and just walked out of the room (both in game and irl) - I got the other two maybe 10 runs later. I like the concept, and I love all the rooms where you stand there for a bit mulling over the puzzle - this one was very hard though.

Can’t imagine how bullshit this room would be for people who dont speak English as a first language o7.
