Preguntas de entrevista para Editor
Un editor es responsable de revisar y evaluar el contenido que se va a publicar, por lo que debe ser una persona meticulosa, atenta y colaborativa. En una entrevista, puedes esperar que te hagan preguntas sobre cómo gestionas los plazos de entrega, qué herramientas de edición utilizas y qué fuentes sueles consultar en busca de inspiración. Son de especial interés los candidatos con grandes dotes de comunicación y que puedan trabajar bien en equipo.
Preguntas de entrevista más frecuentes para editor/a y cómo responderlas
Estas son las tres preguntas de entrevista más comunes para el puesto de editor y cómo responderlas:
Pregunta n.º 1: ¿Qué proceso sueles seguir para cumplir tus plazos de entrega?
Respuesta recomendada: Cuando trabajes como editor, tendrás que cumplir una serie de plazos de entrega, tanto a escritores como a jefes de proyecto. Menciona las herramientas que utilices para seguir y gestionar los plazos de entrega, desde un simple calendario hasta sistemas de gestión de tareas más complejos. También puedes aprovechar esta pregunta para describir tu ética profesional y comentar situaciones en las que hayas tenido que cumplir plazos muy ajustados con clientes o miembros del equipo. La pregunta también te brinda la oportunidad de abordar tus habilidades a la hora de establecer prioridades.
Pregunta n.º 2: ¿Cómo logras mantener la concentración durante las tareas más rutinarias del proceso de edición?
Respuesta recomendada: Un editor a menudo tiene que encargarse de tareas monótonas, como revisar textos y verificar fuentes o datos. A la hora de abordar cualquier pregunta sobre cómo mantienes la concentración, explica los procesos que sueles seguir para mantenerte alerta al revisar textos ajenos. Por ejemplo, leer las frases en alto para corregir la gramática o utilizar una herramienta digital para comprobar cifras y datos.
Pregunta n.º 3: Explica cómo crees que debería ser una crítica constructiva.
Respuesta recomendada: Un editor a menudo debe proporcionar críticas constructivas a escritores y expertos en contenido. Debe poder hacerlo de una forma que resulte beneficiosa para la otra parte, y manteniendo siempre un tono profesional y positivo. Describe tus habilidades de comunicación y tu capacidad para ofrecer críticas y opiniones constructivas, evitando así cualquier respuesta negativa o defensiva.

Test Name : Earth and Environmental Sciences ☰ 1:26:54 Question 22: Select all options that have NO grammatical errors. A. The main objectives of this study are to examine the potential of hydrocarbon generation in high-maturity marine II-type kerogen on the quantitative hydrogenation process, which involve different catalysts under closed system conditions. B. The drying coefficient of the generated gas decreases significantly with the increasing yield of heavy hydrocarbon gas, and the organic carbon in highly mature kerogen is hydrogenated to produce an alkane, CO2, and other gas components. C. In contrast, the fabricated disk-shaped fuel cell exhibited as a linear relationship between the output and the glucose concentration; therefore, this result agrees well with that obtained in the previous study. D. Lewan et al. and Seewald et al. confirmed that the contribution of exogenous H plays a key role in hydrocarbon generation and the distribution of underground hydrocarbon components. Menos

I am not sure if the questions posed were for the benefit of the organization but it truly helped me understand the unprofessionalism in there. what do you mean by stability? do you expect people to retire from Cactus once they join? what is the longest time you expect an employee to stick to the same company? i dont think it is is either in benefit of the company or that of the employee to stick on forever. I believe that asking such questions was not done on purpose, but because of a lack of training and awareness Nevertheless, thanks for letting us all know about the organisation right on day one.

Thank you for your reply, Global Talent Acquisition, Cactus Communications. Nevertheless, it is still disappointing to have lost a great opportunity to work with Cactus Communications, due to some silly, baseless "apprehensions". I would have taken it positively had I not cleared the technical tests, and worked towards it. But the reason given to me is not justifiable at all. Menos

I had to say no because I didn't want to falter in anyway and lose this great opportunity. Had I known they were so unprofessional, I wouldn't have answered this question. Secondly, if they can ask me such sensitive questions, why didn't they clear their doubt if I will work there for long term or get bored eventually. Menos

There's monetary income and there's psychological income. Very often, the first will satisfy on the short term, but the second carries on for the long term. A good working environment, an exciting and intellectually stimulating job, and a package of good benefits go a long way in making an employee happy. Menos

There are many factors to be considered before deciding to move to another workplace, once I have started working at a specific company. They include, but are not limited to employee treatment, company's short term and long term goals, company's social o community policies, opportunities for employees' growth and job stability. A temporary or apparent advantageous opportunity elsewhere might not seem so brilliant if we analyse of these factors. So, I would stay with the company that provides the best working environment, fair compensation and opportunities to grow, as well as a philosophical approach to society as a whole and the community around it that is beneficial and positive.
