I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Hong Kong) in Jan 2012
Interview
Meet line manager to discuss past working experience, academic qualifications, professional membership and yourself. Then meet your manager's manager to go thru the same process. Ask questions about the company, job role and challenges. Last round is to meet HR to discuss the package details, include compensation, bonus scheme, annual leave, other benefits etc
