      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at First Media (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2020

      Interview

      I applied to this job through their site and a recruiter contacted me the next day setting up a phone interview. It was a standard recruiter interview, where they ask very basic questions but don't necessarily understand the job themselves, so you never get too deep into your experience or really get to talk shop. The recruiter was nice, but seemed inexperienced. I asked her about her time working at FirstMedia, and she said it was her first job and she'd been working there a year. There were times where she misunderstood my experience, IE thinking I didn't have any digital experience and only TV experience, so I had to clarify myself a couple times. One odd thing I found out was this position reports directly into the CEO, and in my experience they usually save those interviews for recruiters with much more experience. Overall though it was a pleasant chat, and I was told that they make decisions quickly and that I'd hear back in a couple days. About a week later I got a form email back from them saying they went with a more qualified candidate. Considering I have about 10 years experience and they were looking for 5, and I currently do this job but at a much larger company, I figured I didn't move on because I asked for too much money. (I recommend looking at the salaries glassdoor listed on here, because they are much lower than industry standard. ) I think the weirdest part of this experience is 2 months later the same recruiter contacted my wife via linkedin and asked if she wanted to apply for the exact same job, so further proof the form email was used to end communication between us.
