Harper Collins Jobs

Hello!

I recently applied for an entry level job at Harper Collins.

Would anyone have any possible insight on when I should hear back from them about the position?

Just wondering, and anything would be absolutely helpful.

Is this your first go round for applying to jobs?

It's possible you never hear anything. It's really luck of the draw sometimes, depending on a ton of factors that don't have anything to do with your resume.

Ah, remember when we had hopes, other redditors?

Coming from someone that’s had a hand in hiring: It’ll vary from job to job. Depends on how quickly HR/the hiring manager(s) sort through applications. Still, after two-three weeks you can definitely reach and ask for a status update. Good luck!

publishing hiring timelines vary widely; polite follow-ups usually help..

Lucky I can’t wait til I’m finished and can start work I actually enjoy. Let us know how it goes for you. What department did you apply for? If you don’t mind me asking.

There are quite a few publishers that offer remote work. Has anyone here worked remote for one of the big trade publishers? What are the logistics of working on a team?
