I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Tennessean in June 2025
Interview
The interview process was fairly straightforward. I applied via the parent company's site (Gannett), was contacted by the recruiter, and then the interview process began.
My process consisted of two panel interviews. After the last panel interview, I didn't receive any further communication from this team. Not a follow up, not a phone call, nothing. Says A LOT about your organization if you treat prospective candidates this way.
