I interviewed at American Heart Association in May 2019
Positive experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Heart Association in Jan 2019
Interview
After submitting my resume, I was e-mailed to submit a digital interview the next day. The digital interview consisted of 5 questions that I had to record my answers to. Within two days I was contacted about coming in for an in person interview. The interview was with 3 people and lasted about an hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you had to deal with conflict with a coworker?
I was invited to do a one-way digital interview that I found to be rather awful in terms of process and representation of a candidate. I understand the intention, but speaking into a webcam 30 seconds after reading a question and answering it within 3 minutes is a quite different interaction than having a conversation with a human about one's experience and potential fit. I also read on reviews that one is unable to redo individual questions (I believe I had 5 + 1 written), but is able to redo the entire "interview" once if needed; this was not true.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Heart Association (Tulsa, OK) in Oct 2018
Interview
The initial process was a little long/slow to start. I fist did a phone interview. Then I was invited to do an online assessment and video interview. . . the actual questions were very job specific and nothing at all like the generic practice questions. After that I went in for an initial in person interview with 2 department heads. Then, finally I met with My Executive director for another interview. About a week later, I was told I was hired. The hard part was the time in between tasks and the whole, "not knowing" aspect. Every interaction however was pleasant and positive.

Question 1
The questions asked were pretty typical . . . name something that youve had to overcome/how/why/what was the outcome. One question that did slip me up though was "tell me about a time when you had a lapse in judgement" I did not have a prepared answer but feel confident I handled it okay.
