I interviewed at Belleville News-Democrat (Ripley, OH)
Interview
Simple questions about past experiences. Asked to provide writing samples plus editing test, which was rather easy. Interviewer was pleasant. I was nervous but they made me feel really at home.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Belleville News-Democrat (Belleville, IL) in Apr 2016
Interview
Met with a supervisor who greatly exaggerated the opportunities at the paper. I had another interview with the executive editor but that was very short and perfunctory. Overall an average interview.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Belleville News-Democrat (Belleville, IL) in Jan 2015
Interview
The editor asked the typical questions but he is a horrible listener and reader. I constantly had to correct him as he reviewed my resume and clips. He argued with another reporter in front of me. The two cursed and shoved each other. Staff seem unhappy and morale is low.
