I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sensi Media Group (Denver, CO) in Sep 2021
Interview
Two 10 minute phone call 'interviews' with a local rep and Ron Kolb on two separate days. Hardly asked anything about my background despite having plenty of experience and felt more like it was a compliance form being read off of a notecard about the pay structure and ensuring I understand that I'm my own boss and is commission only with no benefits.
Judging from the price of a two page ad for a business I was told I have NO idea how one would expect to earn 60-170k a year in this position as the online posting indicated. Was even told I could work a part time job doing this to make ends meet- a company that believes in their sales force would pay them to represent their business and prevent them from being the 40th rep from sensi to call on a business.
Also looking at the names that appear on the inside of the magazine are only the same people that show up on that cheesy orientation video they make you watch. My bet is all repeat business and inside leads go to them and they wait to take any good leads you bring in once you inevitably get burnt out from not getting paid enough.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sensi Media Group in Feb 2021
Interview
I went through two phone interviews with two really friendly men who were excited about my background. I was offered a position on the 2nd interview and then ghosted after that. No follow up or response. Very unprofessional and the whole position and pay structure was nothing to be that excited about to begin with (all commission and zero benefits, with a potential for a "leadership" position - whatever that means) Probably dodged a bullet.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Sensi Media Group (Denver, CO) in Nov 2020
Interview
Job listing asked for a custom letter that included the general info about my background in editorial as well as my passions—what I liked to write about, what magazines I read, what I felt I could bring to Sensi—and asked for three writing samples. After submitting, I didn't hear back for a few weeks, but then the editor in chief reached out about some work she was looking to have done for the Colorado edition and set up a zoom interview. We spoke for about 20 minutes, had a great conversation—she outlined what type of articles she was looking for, listened to some of my ideas, and we agreed that I was up for the tasks and decided upon deadlines and rates—very reasonable. Simple process, nothing complicated, no bad vibes.
