I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at TEGNA (Des Moines, IA) in Mar 2021
Interview
Straight forward interview questions about my experience. Mostly about sales process and what I wanted in my role. They didn't seem to know how things work in other industries outside of TV.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TEGNA (Huntsville, AL) in Nov 2019
Interview
A recruiter got in contact with me on LinkedIn and said my skill set aligns with an Account Executive position they currently have open. I sent my resume, and had a prompt phone call and was guided through the steps to getting hired. The recruiter asked what I expect to be paid and also told me that a sales experience exam would be sent to me to complete. They said it would only take 30-60 minutes. The exam is nearly 200 questions and each one is thought provoking. It took me much longer to finish it as I was focused on understanding each question and answering them to the best of my ability.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TEGNA in Jul 2019
