HarperCollins is in the top 5 publishers in the world, with over 1.5B in annual revenue and some of the most notable book releases in the world. You should come prepared for your interview with an exceptional plan of action, ensuring that you will be a substantial addition to their company from the start.
It's a good idea to have a 30, 60, and 90-day plan set out when you go into an interview. This approach is especially important when you are applying to a management or sales based position where there are expectations of immediate action and results. You can jot down a few ideas or create a slide presentation with graphs - whatever makes you most comfortable! You can discuss numbers, training achievements, pain points the interviewer has mentioned in the past, or how you plan to fit in with your new team.
