I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at American Red Cross in Mar 2018
Interview
Had initial call from recruiter in another state. 30 minute call. Standard questions. Was asked if I’d pass a background check.
Next was in person interview with Regional Manager. Consisted of s standard list of questions she read to me from list. Explained that it’s requred for every applicant. Was able to ask questions at end. Final interview was with Regional Director. It was a challenging interview, as the Director was not very personable and establishing rapport was difficult. I felt like I was being asked very standard questions once again. Interview process took months!!!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Red Cross (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
I didn't apply, the recruiter contacted me. He seemed disorganized and his system sent me reminder emails after I had already responded. Then, after two phone interviews with the recruiter, I had an hour-long phone conversation with the supervisor of this position and then a 1.5 hour interview with a panel at their office. They all seemed perfectly nice but they kept saying things like "This is a really hard job. How do you handle stress?" and strongly implying that they work 24/7 whenever there's an emergency (when is there not?).
I sent thank yous to everyone and got no response to a question I asked, after being assured I could ask questions "any time." Over a month has now gone by and I've heard nothing from the recruiter. Obviously I didn't get the job and I didn't want it given the way they presented it as extremely stressful and difficult, but never speaking to someone who has spent weeks going through your interview process is beyond unprofessional.
