Girl Scouts USA Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I submitted my resume online and was contacted via email. I was asked to review a detailed job description that included a list of minimum requirements and the salary for the position and to verify that I was still interested. At that point, I was scheduled for an interview. My one-on-one interview with the hiring manager was more casual than I had expected. I was overdressed and over qualified. (In fact, the job paid less than the unemployment checks I was receiving, but I was willing to accept that since this was a non-profit group.) I was not offered the position. The manager took the time to notify me of her decision within a week, which I really appreciated. The Girl Scouts office seems like a good place to work, and I would consider applying there again if a more suitable position became available.

Interview Details – Phone interview with HR went well. Very friendly, was called in for an in person. Interviewed with 3 woman. Very cold, they didn't smile once! I couldn't get out of there fast enough!

Interview Details – I interviewed for a different position and was not selected; but, I was asked if I would be interested in interviewing for this position. I went in for an interview and met with HR, and 2 members of the department I would be working with. I am about 95% certain that I was not selected because my minimum salary requirement was their maximum limit. Do not expect to make more than $20-25K at GSCNC.

Interview Details – After responding to a Idealist.com posting for the position I was contacted by HR to complete an optional form. I was then contacted by the regional director to set-up an interview. The interview was held the next day with the Regional Director and a position peer. It was very comfortable and informative. The entire staff seemed friendly and welcoming. I was offered the position the following day.

Reason for Declining – This was a very tough decision, however, I was on a good path with my "top pick" job that I was not prepared to abandon. This Girls Scout office and team seemed fantastic though and I hope to have an opportunity to work with them in another capacity!

Interview Details – 2 interviews, one with an HR rep and one with the head of the department. They then asked for a writing sample and a skills test. After jumping through all the hoops, they went with someone else.

Interview Details – I applied for the job on a Sunday, received a call three days later for an interview, interviewed a week later and was offered the position four days later.

The interview was a basic answer and question and proposed scenarios on how I would handle a situation. I brought my portfolio to display work I've done. It was not a warm and fuzzy feeling during the interview, very business and straight to the point.

Negotiation Details – I was offered an amount I was not comfortable accepting. I was offered $1,000 more and the told I would receive a performance review in three months, giving me a 3% increase.

Interview Details – Got a call from the recruiter and spoke to them for 30 minutes, then I went onsite to discuss the position with the CFO.I interviewed with the CFO for 1hour and 30 minutes. She was pleasant.

Interview Details – There was at leasr one personl from each hiring department and an HR person (4 people total). Each person took turns reading from list of questions like:

Tell me about yourself <---- be open with this one and REALLY tell them about yourself!
Why are you interesed in the Girl Scouts?
Tell me about you a time when you had to address an angery person. How did you reslove it?
'What are your strengths and weaknesses?
What would you do if a co-worker had issue with a person of a different backround?

The atomosphere was relaxed, friendly people, helpful staff.

Negotiation Details – There was no room for negotiation at all. The budget is KING!!!

Interview Details – Was emailed and had a phone interview then was called in for a interview. I feel it went well. My only problem was I was told I would be contacted within a week and it took 3 weeks for me to finally get a "no thanks" email. I'm fine with not getting the position but am disappointed that the GS didn't keep their word! The interview was with two women who were dressed in 1970's power suits... I felt like I had stepped back in time!!! They were nice but I can agree with others on here that the GS is certainly stuck in the past.
