Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 1+ week)
I applied online through heart.org and received an email from a regional HR specialist that they wanted to do a phone interview. We agreed on the time and I was called directly. The interview was basic, consisting of the position, salary and benefits, and who I would report to. I was asked about fundraising experience and how my most recent position tied into their needs. The recruiter and I didn't click, mostly because it was clear there were children in the background causing distractions. I found this to be very unprofessional and ultimately a disservice to my future manager and me as it was obvious I didn't have full attention. Despite this, I was very interested in the position, sent my thank you for the interview and followed up the next week but have not heard anything. Easy interview, less than ideal circumstances.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview was very detailed. They asked a lot of the same questions just in different wording. I met all of the job requirements, but the additional requirements that they wanted you to have were not listed n the website. It took a month to even hear any thing back from them, so continue to apply for other jobs in the mean time. I didnt get the job, but with all of the questions they ask, I feel like it was a waste of time, especially since I had to contact them to find out the status of the position.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 3 weeks)
I don't understand. I spoke with HR and she was very nice. I passed the first two interviews with her. Then I interviewed with the Senior Manager and the department team. I studied hard and knew everything there was to know about the AHA including current events and made a presentation. The panel said they were impressed. Even the Senior Manager said he was impressed, and I exceeded or met the requirements. I have close to 20 years experience and really, sincerely thought I would be up for the next step in the process. The next thing I know, I got a roughly written note saying I didn't make the finals. No explanation. No word about what happened, what they were looking for I didn't have...nothing. I don't get it. Maybe they don't know what they want, since this position keeps appearing over and over and over every few months. I wrote a couple of notes to the HR lady, since we were on good terms. No response. The only thing I can figure out is she doesn't know what they want either. What a disappointment!! Oh, and by the by...some of the questions were strange....like, "What are your expectations of this position?" (Huh? Didn't you just describe this in the job description? What is one supposed to answer...oh I expect the AHA to pay for my dream yacht? (ha ha) I mean really people. What gives?? I am so hurt.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Purchase, NY (took 2 months)
My first contact after applying online was from a Human Resources. Next I scheduled an interview with Taryn Branca at the Purchase Office. Taryn and I had a wonderful and productive meeting at her office and i was contacted about 2 weeks later that Taryn had left on maternity leave and i would be having a panel interview with 2 managers after taking a sales test. I arrived on time for the interview and I waited about 20 minutes. Than I was asked a lot of questions by 2 managers and i felt as if i was really out through the ringer. In the middle of asking me questions, they asked me to leave the room so they could figure out their next line of questioning. When i returned they asked a few more questions and were very cold. I was not suprised to here at a later date that they were going to continue their search. A little much of an interview process.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 1+ week)
First interview is with the hiring manager. Second is with his/her supervisors and is more of a panel/behavioral interview, which lasts at least two hours. Overall, the process moved relatively fast and I found out I got the position within three days and was given the flexibility of selecting my start date. The HR department was a pleasure to work with.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Interview was very straight forward in regards to both the position, responsibilities, and beneftis. I was required to complete an on-line test and moved forward to two face to face interviews. Both interviews were conducted in a comfortable setting and you were not thrown a great deal of difficult questions. American Heart Association was much more diligent in regards to checking references than any previous employer that I applied with.
