I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TMZ (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
It was a pretty simple process. I was referred by a friend and then invited to apply for a role. There was one pre-screen interview and one in person interview.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TMZ in Jun 2011
Interview
I had previous experience working in entertainment and digital media in Los Angeles. TMZ was hiring for a production position focused on its popular web site, TMZ.com. I applied online for the role, then went in-person for an interview at TMZ's studio in Los Angeles. I received an offer, but declined due to opportunities at my then-current employer. The experience was great and I believe I would have done well in the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked about how I would prioritize certain breaking news stories on TMZ's website. The question led into a longer, engaging discussion about how to best attract traffic in an era of mass aggregation.
