I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY) in Apr 2011
Interview
Basic sales interview to see if you have a personality and existing client relationships. In order to even get an Account Executive interview, you probably already have contacts at Viacom. Be prepared to know what you can offer Viacom as a sales person, a couple of stock questions about the job and possibly areas that you would like to learn / grow.

Interview
One of the VP's in Sales was really impressed by me at a client meeting. He mentioned that there was an Account Executive position available on the Sales team and wanted to see if I'd be interested in making a move from Marketing to Sales.
After referring me to the two VP's overseeing that particular position, I met with them and spoke more in depth about the role. They really liked me, and I would have gone farther in the process. However, right after we had that meeting, the entire Sales team had been restructured and that position was eliminated so i didn't get the job.
