Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 4+ weeks)
I had a phone interview first that served as a "screening" process.
I was then asked to complete an online assessment test. It included personality type questions, as well as word definitions and math problems. It was fairly challenging given the length of time it has been since I have had to solve algebra equations.
I was invited to interview at ACS with the Area Director. I was told I was one of three candidates being interviewed for the position. This interview was fairly general and asked questions based on my responses from my application and online assessment.
I was then invited back for a second interview with the same Area Director and another ACS administrator. This interview focused on the program for which the position would be fundraising, Relay for Life. The majority of questions were about fundraising and recruiting participants. I was told that there were still three candidates in the running, so I assume that everyone was invited back for the second interview.
A few days later, I received a phone call to notify my that I was not selected for the position. In my opinion, it was an issue that I would be relocating for the position with ACS, as I was asked about my plans to move numerous times. I believe the other candidates were already living in the area.
All in all, it was a positive experience, and I would apply for a position with ACS if one was available in the future.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 1 week)
I was first contacted by an HR representative to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was held with an HR representative who went through the typical behavioral questions. Starting with "tell me about yourself", leading into questions such as "tell me about your fundraising experience", "tell me about a tie when you worked with volunteers", "tell me about a time you had difficulty with volunteers", etc.
The questions were pretty standard and not too difficult. I could tell that the woman that interviewed me was reading the questions off of a paper, and could hear her typing about my answers. She wasn't very kind and I didn't think she liked me. But to my surprise, a few days later I was offered a face to face interview.
I had to travel 8 hours for the interview (no expenses are paid for you), and interviewed by two ACS managers in the city where the job was. The interview was very informal, less standardized questions; it felt like more of a conversation than an interview.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Although I enjoyed the interview and people I would be working with, the salary offer was very low for how much work would go into the position. They told me that there are many weeks where you work 50+ hours, at least 4 nights a month where you are expected to stay late for meetings, etc. With the salary being so low, not being reimbursed for the move, and not great benefits, I decided to keep looking.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 days)
I applied directly online to their website and was emailed approximately 2 weeks later. Via email, the initial person and I scheduled an appointment to do a phone interview/screening. She asked basic questions: why I was interested in ACS, how I feel about cold calling, experience in recruiting clients and volunteers, and why I was leaving current position. The next day, I received a call from the director of the region I would be working in and set up a 1:1 interview/group interview for two days later. At this interview, it seemed a lot more informal and can't remember being asked anything too difficult, did have to fill out another application and release to have background, credit and education check. I mentioned in the interview that I knew I had the skills, just wanted to know if I would "fit" in. We wound up talking about family, hobbies and pets. I definitely feel like I would fit into the culture of the company. Both people who interviewed me were "beautiful" people so that was honestly more intimidating than the questions. This was recently, so I am still awaiting my offer.
