Interviewed May 2009 (took 3 days)
I would say that the process was rather smooth but overall I did not like working with my interviewer. She seemed rude and short with not only me but the other candidates I was interviewing with. I did get an offer but got a cold response from the woman working with me.

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 6 weeks)
During a college career fair, I spoke with a Representative. They asked typical questions like why are you interested in us, what experience do you have, etc. I wrote down my information and he gave me a business card. Several days later I was contacted to have an on-campus interview. I was interviewed by two people. First, I had to go take this quiz on a computer. It was a basic personality quiz asking you how you would react or what you would do in certain situations, are you a leader or a follower, etc. Then I came back and they called to find out my score. I passed so the interview continued. They asked the typical questions: where do you see yourself in 5 years?, how do you feel about working with a variety of people?, what is it you are looking to gain from this position?, etc. Then at the end they gave me an application to fill out and mail. Several weeks later I was contacted by a branch to schedule a phone interview. Phone interview was a teleconference with two people interviewing you. They asked the standard questions and some new ones such as Why would you be bad at this job? What skills do you lack to succeed? If your past employer could rate you on a scale of 1 to 10, what would it be and why? What are your strengths and weaknesses? I ended up removing myself from the process as I found something closer to home.

Interviewed Jul 2008 (took 2 weeks)
Asked about my background of Scouting, and wanted to know if I can handle a flexible schedule. The main thing they are looking for is can you Raise money and can you sale the program to young kids at schools. If you can raise money and get more kids to sign up every year then they will be successful to move up in the corporate world of Scouting and so will you.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 months)
The hiring process consisted of two in-person interviews. The first was a one-on-one general screening interview where they asked me several personality and situational questions, as well as gave me a personality computer test to take. The second interview was in front of a panel of three officers who asked me more in depth questions to make sure I was the right fit for the position. The interviewers were polite and professional. The office culture seemed to be a good mixture of professionalism and a casual attitude. The whole process took longer than either side anticipated, but unforeseen circumstances prolonged the decision making. I was informed that I had been selected for the job just a day after the second interview. The offer made was comprehensive and competitive. Overall it was a positive experience and will no doubt be the beginning of a rewarding relationship.
