I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Red Cross (Saint Louis, MO) in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied online and received a phone interview request a couple of weeks later. The interviewer was a recruitment agent and wasn't very specific about the job particulars. The questions were more general in nature. "Tell me about a time where you did this or that," type questions. The interviewer was very personable and I felt that he was very easy to talk to which made the process enjoyable and I didn't even mind the generic interview questions. He told me that the next step in the process if selected for an in-person interview could take a few weeks. I told him that I was actively interviewing other positions with other companies but was interested in this position. He told me that he was going to forward my information on and set up a second interview and asked if he were to coordinate something soon, would I be able to travel to the district manager's location to speed up the process rather than wait for her to come to my city. Good to his word, he contacted me today (Monday) and had everything arranged. My phone interview was just this last Friday. I certainly appreciate the attention he gave me and am looking forward to the in-person interview he scheduled for Wednesday. I will update this review after the interview process plays out.

Question 1
Tell me about a time something you attempted didn't work, what you did about it, and what was the final result.
I interviewed at American Red Cross (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
had a virtual interview but did not hear back from anyone. I wouldn't have minded a rejection letter but I did not hear back. Even after I sent a thank you letter

Interview
Lengthy, Zero Feedback - The entire process took over 8 weeks. I applied and was quickly given a phone interview. It went great. A few days later I had an hour long in person interview. Again, it went great. I was introduced to the entire team at this point. After a couple weeks with no communication I was asked to do a final phone interview with a regional manager. It was terrible. There weren't many insightful questions asked and it lasted less than 25 minutes. After this, I heard nothing again for 2-3 weeks. I was finally called and asked to do a full-day ride along. I accepted. The ride along went ok, but the employee did make sure to tell me MANY negatives about the job and the management team. At this point, it was clear the team was fractured. After my ride along I heard nothing for 2+ weeks. At 1 am one night I received a 2 paragraph form letter telling me I didn't get the job. I reached out to all three people I interviewed with asking for some professional feedback about my interview. I did not receive a single call. Moral of the story - don't waste you time - seriously.

Question 1
There was a form she had with 2 different options for questions under each category - they were awkward but she said it was a new process.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Red Cross (Bangor, ME)
Interview
Applied on line. Received e-mail invite to phone interview w HR rep. I was well qualified & phone interview went well, comfortable. Next step - HR rep to schedule in-person interview to regional manager the position reports to - sounded like this would be within a week. Confirmed I would hear from HR rep once scheduled. Never did. A week later I sent HE rep an e-mail to see if I misunderstood or if there was a delay. No response. Never even got a "thank you for your time; we've gone another way" e-mail. I can understand hearing nothing if I'd submitted a resume and they had no interest, but after participating in one interview and being told another was being scheduled...?? That's just rude.

Question 1
She asked about my previous experiences, per my resume - for me to tell about my responsibilities, etc. Very typical line of inquiry.
