I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Californian Media Group (Salinas, CA) in May 2014
Interview
Long and tedious. It lasted 3 months. A phone interview with the Publisher in Salinas, her boss in Portland, His peer in Arizona, an in person interview in Salinas with the Publisher and an in person interview with the controller. Then a group meeting with the staff at the Californian.
