Editor Interview Questions

Editor Interview Questions

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

Question 1

Pregunta n.º 1: ¿Qué proceso sueles seguir para cumplir tus plazos de entrega?

How to answer
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.
Question 2

Pregunta n.º 2: ¿Cómo logras mantener la concentración durante las tareas más rutinarias del proceso de edición?

How to answer
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.
Question 3

Pregunta n.º 3: Explica cómo crees que debería ser una crítica constructiva.

How to answer
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.

How would you improve NVidia's videos and storytelling capabilities? How do you react to multiple stakeholders giving you feedback and expectations all at once? How little sleep can you work off of?

- Fourthly, my job experience and qualifications speak for themselves. Please, I don't mean to come off like an obnoxious person, I truly am not. I purely mean this in the sense that I have been a professional video editor for the past 9 years and for the past 3 and a half years (I've got over two dozen recommendations as well as professional recommendations for my work experiences). The recruiter mentioned in the feedback that “being remote at this point, it is imperative to have a clear communication and thought process to be able to work effectively with the business”. For the past three years, I have been working remotely with teams in three different time zones - I have excellent references of me being a good communicator and an effective team member. I have had no communication issues while I have been working remotely, it’s something I am extremely familiar with. If I at any point was not clear in my interview, why did I make it through 4 rounds of interviews? Surely that... just seems very odd to me. Surely, there must be a way for me to express that being in a collaborative remote office environment is incredibly different than being in an interview. A short one hour interview doesn’t give me a good enough chance to display my efforts and skills as a co-worker. To hear that my skills and experience was not to their expectations was incredibly surprising to me, considering it is what got me through to every interview stage. Even after having spoken to the Manager in the first round he said "Oh I told the recruiter we HAD to talk to you as I was so impressed with your background". How did I not meet the skillset? I just wanted to lastly point out that at the end of the final interview I did ask them “is there anything leaving you with hesitancy regarding myself in hiring me for the role?” And they answered that they were very happy with everything I had said. Meaning that there was no room for me to feel that “I had not been precise”. I was very confused about that statement. If there was any doubt, why not approach me directly about it instead of providing me with positivism and false hopes? Why mislead me like that? Why make me feel like everything was so incredibly positive and then just throw me away? I feel like it was all a huge miscommunication and a subjective perspective. I didn’t want to be misled. I'm sorry for dragging this out so long but it just affected me so much - because I have never been more confused about an interview process like this before. I was genuinely excited about the role and I was just taken back by all of this.
