I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at American Red Cross (Phoneton, OH) in May 2012
Interview
Quick, speedy, general, and remote over phone
Seems to be a defensive process for future protection and protect image than functional questions
Started off well but seems they got bored as it went along
More worried about liberal causes then technical questions with knowledge of hard materials
No technical skill questions - all touchy feeeeeley liberal arts from a community college.
Think sorority sister indoctrination and you have the idea.
Process minded people apply at your own risk.

Question 1
Typical why...., what would you do if.... can you work overtime....
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at American Red Cross (Washington, DC) in Oct 2009
Interview
A friend mentioned Red Cross had positions posted. I went online to their website to submit my application. About six weeks later I received a call from their recruiter who asked some preliminary screening questions. She then set up a conference call with two individuals for the interview. I heard back a week later that I would be interviewed in person. I went to their offices in DC and was interviewed by two of their managers. I was very positive and I left feeling encouraged. Two weeks later, the recruiter phoned to say I was selected and she shared salary, benefits, reporting details. All in all, a great experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The msot difficult question had to do with one of their systems used for data collection. I wasn't familiary with it at all, but answered as best I could having researched the position ahead of time.
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at American Red Cross in Nov 2011
Interview
Mulitiple phone calls with the hiring manager and the manager's peer in another state. After interview had more follow up phone calls before the offer. I think the hiring manager was just unsure of how to assess my skill sets and needed multiple people to approve my hire. Wasn't an impressive process and had me thinking it was a case of analysis paralysis.
