I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2011
Interview
After applying for the position I was called in to interview with a senior manager but was late due to a traffic accident. I didn't end up getting the position, however, I was called back when another spot opened, interviewed with a different manager and after about a week i received a phone call letting me know that I had gotten the job. Overall, the process itself was painless and quite typical of what one would expect. I was most pleased with how quickly I heard back on whether or not I had made the cut.
