First round is a 40 minute phone interview directly with the hiring manager. It is a resume run down and a few questions about language skills. Second round is an in person interview with both the hiring manager and a content editor. This interview lasted for an hour and a lot of questions were asked. She also confirmed my language skills, asking me to translate some easy content. I feel evaluated every second during this interview, but they are very nice and they listen to my answers very closely. Overall experience is well, and you just have to show that you are eager to learn and willing to solve problems.

The interview process included a phone screen, followed by a lengthy (nearly 3 hours) in-person interview. This involved 1) a live editing/proofreading exercise, followed by a walkthrough with the interviewer 2) interviews with three different people (individually, not a panel) 3) a take-home writing test. This seemed very involved to me for a position that was a 3- to 6-month contract (and not even a contract-to-hire situation). Worse, I never received any sort of response, feedback, or follow-up from anyone (recruiter or Expedia), despite being asked to email the writing test directly to all three interviewers, which I did within the timeline requested. After about a month passed, I had to contact the recruiter and ask my contact to let Expedia know that they could remove me from the selection process because I had accepted another position. Given the investment required both from me as a candidate and the interviewers—and all for a temporary position—this seemed like a significant waste of everyone's time. Expedia's lack of responsiveness was disappointing.
