Thomson Reuters interview questions

I applied online for the position and was contacted by a recruiter ~2 weeks later to schedule a telephone interview. The phone interview was scheduled quickly and consisted of standard questions: * Why do you want this position? * What skills do you bring to the position? * Walk through of my resume highlights etc. However I was not selected to move forwards due to limited industry experience. When their chosen candidate had fallen through a few weeks later, the same recruiter called me back to invite me to the next round of interviews. Next was a telephone interview with the hiring manager - similar questions as before except more detailed with specific questions regarding work style and specific job responsibilities. Following this phone interview, I was invited to an in-person interview with the hiring manager and her boss - they covered all expenses since I was not local. At this interview, I delivered a presentation on TRs product portfolio, was interviewed once again by the hiring manager and her boss, and completed a short exercise critiquing a brief. Following this interview I submitted 2 writing samples and had a 'courtesy interview' with the VP for the department. Despite all of this, i did not receive an offer as they had another candidate who (again) had industry-specific knowledge. Although this was a long process and the outcome was far form ideal, I enjoyed getting to know the folks at TR, learning about the industry, and it was great practice for my next interview .

Had a telephone interview with hiring manager which went well. Skills and experience were a perfect match for the role. A week later I was asked for a coffee meeting to discuss expectations on the role. Another meeting that went well, where I also found out that management might be considering hiring a junior position to save money. After meeting, I followed up via email and then did not hear anything from the hiring manager.
