I applied online which took about a week to hear back. You have a phone screen or initial interview, follow up interview that a project must be complete before. A pretty basic interviewing process . I met the two managers at a hotel to discuss my background and what i was looking for in my career and what they were looking for to fill their opening. They may have you reach out to professor and a bookstore on campus as many of your calls and relationships will be based of your ability to do well interacting with both. It also would be a good way to see how Pearson is viewed in the areas you would be covering if it is a geographical territory or you already know that prior to the project.
