No Offer – Interviewed in Knoxville, TN – Reviewed Apr 15, 2013
Interview Details – It was a long interview process that included a personality survey, phone interview, in person interview and a presentation. Everyone I met was friendly and I felt comfortable talking to them. However, after spending all that time I got a simple form letter rejection with no reason given. They just stated that it was "a difficult decision". Too much time spent for no feedback. I felt that they were just jerking me around. :(
Interview Question – Most difficult part is the presentation where you were given limited information and limited time to make recommendations for their client Answer Question

Account Executive at Scripps
No Offer – Reviewed Apr 15, 2013
Interview Details – It was the most unprofessional hiring process that I've ever experienced. I applied one day and received an email from the local location. Later that day, they called me and started having some sort of impromptu interview. They actually declined me via email when I was still on the phone with them. Reasoning? It was too inconvenient for them to interview someone out of state in person; by that logic, they shouldn't have had this impromptu interview. It was confusing, ridiculous, and overall quite rude.

Account Executive at Scripps
No Offer – Interviewed in Cincinnati, OH Dec 2012 – Reviewed Dec 21, 2012
Interview Details – I applied on the corporate website and was contacted by a recruiter via email asking me to apply for a position with his company. (The recruiter didn't know that I had already applied when he contacted me, and requested that I send him another resume anyway.) I did that, and he set up a phone interview with me for 2 days later.
Interview Question – Not many questions I couldn't handle, since I've already done the AE job for another company. The first thing he asked me was what I knew about the company, which I answered well. Probably the most difficult question was "What percentage of my total revenue at my former company was NTR?" I told him I didn't remember because the company never broke it down like that. I did, however, tell him what the percentage of my sales were New Biz vs Existing Biz. View Answer

Sales Representative at Scripps
No Offer – Interviewed in Memphis, TN Nov 2011 – Reviewed Nov 5, 2011
Interview Details – First, I went into the designated room that they assigned for interviews and waited for their executives to enter the room. They came in and sat me down to discuss my expereince and skills and how they could help their company. The managers were extremely warm and inviting. No nerve racking expereince. Very humble people. I can not complain about the interview process at all. If you have an interview with them, dont be nervous. Sounds cliche, but just be youreself. They really enjoy enthusiastic people!

Systems Specialist at Scripps
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Camarillo, CA Apr 2009 – Reviewed Dec 1, 2009
Interview Details – Interviewed by two managers, one in IT, one in Advertising. The process consisted of explaining my background and listening to the managers speak about the problems facing the paper. The role was funded by the Advertising department, but direct supervision was controlled by IT. The Newspaper industry is very concerned about details and perception as being the harbinger of truth in a maddeningly complex world, and so answering the questions in a way that inflates their ego can not hurt, especially with the state of the Newspaper industry as it is now.
Interview Question – Do you consider yourself an idealist? View Answer
Negotiation Details – Very quick.
