I started by filling out the online application, which was followed by a phone "interview." The phone interview was more of a screening process; are you willing to travel, are you ok with unexpected events, etc. That was followed about a week later by an email which gave me 24 hours to fill out another online application which was a bit more detailed, and gave them permission to conduct a background and reference check. After I filled that out, I received a call two days later, by the recruiter, asking me if I would be willing to accept a certain salary for the position, knowing what my stated requirements were from the interview. If I had said yes, that would lead me to a second phone interview with a hiring manager for the position. Because the amount offered was significantly less than I am currently making, I turned the position down at that time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Everything was pretty basic. How do you deal with change, what is your most recent accomplishment, are you willing to travel...
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Red Cross (Farmington, CT) in Dec 2024
Interview
Phone interview with HR. Then 2 panel interviews over zoom with 5 people on each call. The phone interview and the first round were typical and fairly easy. The last round was miserable. They asked questions for almost the full hour. Then I was told someone would let me know by the end of the week and no one reached out. I emailed and left a voicemail, did not get an answer. Eventually a month and a half later, I received an email that said my application had been rejected. Really frustrating process.
The interview process has multiple rounds, anywhere from 3-5 on average but can be more. It is a very long process but friendly interviewers. The process for me took several months
I applied online. I interviewed at American Red Cross (Washington, DC) in Nov 2021
Interview
Many levels of interview. First a 15 to 30 minute interview with someone from HR at their main DC office. Then a panel interview by volunteers and some staff from the local office. Then another panel interview from the local office by administration. Then a second administration interview.
