I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nexstar Media Group (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2021
Interview
Long and thorough, about 40 minutes over the phone. About a dozen questions were asked. Fair and serious in the questioning. Didn't offer timelines for when I'd hear back, but was transparent with me they were interviewing a dozen candidates for the position.
The interview process was easy enough. I had to do a few timed writing samples. Nothing too difficult. Of course, interviewed with the News Director. When I was transferring stations within Nexstar I had to fly to another state to interview and was unpaid for that time, even though I was interviewing for a Nexstar position while being a Nexstar employee. I was required to use vacation days or not get paid and with only 5 vacation days per year, I was not going to use 3 of them on this.
