I have landed two job interviews/manuscript test out of the ten positions I have applied for. I feel the biggest hurdle is the manuscript test. I just cannot read, comprehend and draft summaries, editorial recommendations and other responses within an hour/manuscript.

I tried practicing within time constraints, but my responses read as unstructured, scattered thoughts rather than structured summaries.

I would like people in such positions to share their experiences. Were you all always equipped? Did reading and drafting four separate responses come easily? Am I just not made for such roles?

Hi all,

I am a research student trying to transition into editorial roles. Luckily, I landed an interview with a big journal under Springer Nature and was quite ecstatic. The interview was extensive but it went well. I was told by the interviewer that they will 'start wrapping up' by 25th May and I'll get some news after that. But its radio silence since. I tried to follow-up through e-mail. Still nothing.

Can anyone give me an idea how long does it take for them to respond with the hiring decision?
