I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2014
Interview
The interview process was very pleasant and interactive. The questions they asked were good and made you think about your past work and education. I didn't feel nervous at all, so I was able to be comfortable and give honest answers.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CNN (New York, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
Phone Interview...was set up the day before and was done with a conference call. The person I initially had contact with along with a higher executive, who was rude, pompous and unprofessional.
The who call lasted less than a minute as I was told how CNN has "changed" and how I was no longer qualified, even though I used to direct for them as a freelancer in the past. I was stunned by how they conducted themselves.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
Three-stage interview process, including a test, with different managers, not including phone screening with the recruiter. In-person interviews were long and in-depth, and required preparation. Interviewees are expected to know the job description, and ask intelligent questions.
