NewsMax Media Manufacturing Interview Questions
& Process

The interviews were fine, but the recruiters were not completely honest and ghosted me for weeks. I had to hunt them down, which initially put me off the position.

Applied in October 2019 when unemployed. Got a call late March/early April 2020 during the pandemic. The job is entry-level in Washington, D.C. They asked about my experience and knowledge of the company, and why I didn't return their call during the pandemic when I was already employed and had things to attend to. They were concerned my work experience was only internships in journalism. They asked me to resubmit my resume and set up a video interview for a show in their D.C. office, which I agreed to. Hours later, they canceled and said they'd get back to me for a new date. I contacted them two weeks later with no response. I emailed them in early May, and they replied, "Dear [Last Name], we went with other candidates." This outcome would have been the same even if I were unemployed due to the pandemic. They should have ended the conversation sooner if not interested instead of being unresponsive. They were also unhappy I was employed. It took them about six months to get back to candidates. This process should have happened before the pandemic. The pandemic is not an excuse. I'm glad they didn't choose me.

Got an email, then a phone call. Was then invited in person and got the offer soon after. Paperwork took about a week and a half, things were slow, but then I started.
