F.A.Q.

 

How do I search for available positions?
Our Careers Web site is frequently updated to include new opportunities: Log onto http://tennessean.iapplicants.com to search for current positions.

I checked the current openings and did not see a position for which I am qualified. How do I find out about future openings?
If you would like to receive notifications of new openings, you may enter your e-mail address in the “Get notified of New Jobs” section located on the job listing page found at http://tennessean.iapplicants.com.

I checked the current openings and did not see a position I am interested in. Can I forward my resume for consideration for any position?
We only accept applications for current openings. Please check our Careers Site for future openings.

I checked the current openings and noticed a few positions I am interested in. Can I apply for more than one position?
Yes. You can apply for multiple positions. Our Careers Site will allow you to set up an account which will allow you to update your application as well as apply for other openings.

Can I forward you my resume for consideration rather than completing the online application?
While you may attach your resume to your application, we ask that you to fully complete the online application; including the additional questions section. In addition, for some positions, we may also ask applicants to attach examples of their published work. The purpose of the application is to capture information about an applicant’s experience and qualifications. If the application is not fully completed, we may be unable to determine whether the applicant’s experience and qualifications matches the requirements for the position, resulting in the application not being considered.

I just applied for a position. How do I make sure my application was received?
If you included your e-mail address on your application, you will receive an e-mail confirming receipt of your application.

I just applied for a position. What happens to my application next?
Candidates whose experiences and qualifications most closely match the position requirements are reviewed by either a HR Representative or the hiring manager. Due to the number of applications we receive for many of our positions, it might take a few weeks before we can contact you to update you on the status of your application. If you are identified to move forward in the process, you will be contacted by a company representative, who will outline the next steps of the process. If you are not identified to move forward, you will be notified; or we may contact you about other opportunities that match your experience and qualifications.

Can I call to speak to the hiring manager about my application?
We appreciate your patience as we move through the process of reviewing candidates for our openings. Depending on the number of applications we receive (and we typically receive a high volume of applications for most of our openings), the review process can take several weeks. Therefore, we prefer that candidates refrain from contacting our managers, who are often extremely busy working through the screening and hiring process for their openings.    

How can I tell if a job has been filled?
If you do not see a specific position listed on our Careers Site, it has been filled or it is no longer available. Please check our Careers Site for future openings.

What is the interview process?
While our interview process may differ depending on positions and different locations, candidates can expect to go through an interview process that may involve a combination of an initial phone interview, in-person interview with the hiring manager/supervisor, and a final interview with senior management.
