Interviewed May 2010 in Williamsport, PA (took 2 weeks)
Was contacted by Operations Director for interview. Very pleasant person who conducted an enjoyable interview. Asked me numerous manager and sales related questions. Gave me a facility tour and introduced me to volunteers and the executive director. . Also had other people waiting for interviews in the lobby. The end result was that the monetary offer was far below what I needed to take care of my family and the offer was FIRM. I also felt that he person they were looking for would have no ability to exercise creativity in the job.
Reason for Declining
Offer was very very low and non-negotiable. Made position as a manager seem like a key holder.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed May 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I met with a group of six different people for about an hour each and had casual behavior based questions. I had lunch with the hiring manager. After the interview it took another couple weeks before the offer was made.

The interview process consisted of an initial general phone interview followed by a 3 person panel interview. The questions were general in nature with the exception of questions regarding accounting software conversions. The Organization will be implementing MIP in the next 6 months and would like to hire someone with conversion experience.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chambersburg, PA (took a day)
Initial communication: I sent resume and cover letter through USPS. Chair of search committee replied with interview date and time, leaving messages via email and voice mail.
The group did not seem to view the position as significant, as they scheduled a series of candidate interviews in consecutive blocks of 30 minutes each.
Members of the search committee were very pleasant. They stated that they were physically tired from the effort of holding up the organization and recognized a need for changed management style. However, they did not appear ready to professionalize the position.
In fact, they opened the interview with the statement that they were looking for full-time accomplishments on part-time hours.
I was told that I came second. I would have liked the job, but it would have been very low-ball in terms of pay.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Newland, NC (took 2 days)
The hiring process was quite long and rather confusing. It consisted of several emails back and forth with the Executive Director, a 1:1 interview with the Executive Director, and a panel interview with members of the Board of Directors. I was also required to attend a board meeting with another candidate, which was rather unusual.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
It took about 4-5 weeks for HR to call me after submitting my resume. The interview was one on one with hiring manager. I had to call and send e-mail to ask about further interviewing and was finally informed that I was not being considered. Overall the experience was positive.
