I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Macmillan (Chicago, IL) in June 2010
Interview
This was a rather lengthy interview process--they really put you through the paces to make sure you're the right candidate for the job. The interview process includes multiple (5-10) phone interviews, 2-3 in-person interviews, and a full campus project.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Someone not in higher ed might find questions about content and the lists somewhat daunting--do your homework ahead of time on the company websites.
