It started with a bunch of one-on-one chats with different team folks. No really specific skill tests or anything like that at first. After the initial chat, they sent over an online skills test to do. If that went well, then there was a second meeting. In the end, I got an automated rejection email with no explanation.

I learned about a broadcast engineering opening at the Sinclair station through a friend. I'd interviewed there before for an assistant chief role, so I emailed the chief engineer directly. We had a quick call about my career goals and salary expectations. He was surprised I left my last station given my TV experience, but the Broadcast Engineer II position fit my needs. I then visited the station, toured the facilities, and met the IT Engineer, who explained daily IT and engineering tasks and who I'd be working with. I liked what I saw, and we had lunch where I discussed a delayed start date due to a business trip. A couple of weeks later, I accepted the offer and underwent a drug test and background check. While the drug test felt unnecessary, I'm optimistic about the station's potential. The overall process was smooth, communication was consistent, and they respected my request for a delayed start and met my career and salary requirements.

I had an initial phone call with the HR recruiter which seemed to go well. They mentioned that someone from the department would contact me within 1-2 days to schedule an in-person interview. I was also advised to follow up with the recruiter if I didn't hear back. However, I never received the call, and my attempts to reach the recruiter by phone and email were unsuccessful, with no response to my messages or emails. It was very unprofessional!

The interview was pretty good, I'm not a fan of interviews with just brain teasers or mean interviewers. This one wasn't like that. The questions were straightforward and directly related to the job, nothing to intentionally trip you up. Both interviewers were nice, and I really appreciate the team for keeping things simple.
