Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at United Way (Tampa, FL) in June 2016.
Interview
Phone interview went great, was told I'd be contacted n a few days for a second interview. After ten days I followed up with an email to schedule a second interview. The interview was scheduled within twenty minutes of my follow up email. Second interview went well. Was given two weeks expectations for a turn around time. Tried following up with the interviewer via email but no response. We are four weeks from my second interview. I got completely ghosted. Very unprofessional for a major non profit.

60% of Americans don't have wills--that means their state of residence will decide what happens to their money and their treasures if they die. 33% of charitable donors are willing to make a bequest to one or more charities, but only 20% have ever been asked!
United Way, along with 70 other reputable charities, have partnered with the start-up Free Will to offer their donors a quick, easy, and FREE way to write a "warm, intuitive will" that is valid in all 50 states. You don't have to leave anything to charity if you don't want to, but many people do. It's a priority for them to support their favorite charities after they are gone. Free Will makes that easy to do.
Making a free will-writing service available to donors is just one way United Way seeks to support the people who contribute and volunteer to make their communities better, more welcoming, and more equitable. We do it because we know people care who gets their grandfather's vintage Thunderbird and the balance in their savings account.
