Tips from the inside

Pearson postings

The Pearson web site (www.pearson.com/careers) offers little help in your employment search. Since it is a global company with interests in a variety of media, candidates can review the characteristics of each division.

Once decided, contact the companies directly with your resume and letter. The Pearson web site (clicking on "Contacts" on the right of the toolbar will lead to a link for "Employment Contacts") carries contact information for the company's different offices/locations: Pearson; Pearson Education (Europe, Middle East and Africa); Pearson Shared Services; Financial Times Group (U.S.); Financial Times Group; Pearson Higher Education, International and Professional; Pearson School Companies; Penguin Group (U.K.); Penguin Group (U.S.). The last five of these have their own web sites with employment/career information as well.
