I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at American Diabetes Association
Interview
I was contacted by a third-party recruiter, completed a 45-min telephone interview with the recruiter, a 1-hour video interview with upper management, and a 1-hour interview with the position’s supervisor. The interview with upper management was not at all warm, and rather the interviewer seemed to be trying to trip me up on questions rather than get to know me and my experience. The second interview was much better, which is why I was surprised that the interviewer said I’d be moving onto the next steps and then I never heard back. That was 6 months ago.

Question 1
If you are were in an elevator and someone saw you had an ADA name tag on and asked you about what you do, what would you say?
I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at American Diabetes Association (Providence, RI) in May 2019
Interview
Horribly unprofessional and mismanaged. The executive director made this exceptionally personal for me, as I’m a volunteer with them and we had more of a friendship. She personally invited me to apply for the position after her initial hire backfired. She even went so far as to hug me after my last interview with her. The entire process took all summer and I wasted all my time putting all my eggs into the ADA basket.
I was asked to do phone screens, face to face interviews and more screens; it was emotionally exhausting. Their recruiting department is inept.
I took an entire day off of my current job to go up for an in person interview with the executive director - and she stood me up and blamed it on HR/Recruiting. It was so demoralizing and disrespectful.
Finally, i received a generated form rejection email from Recruiting, and that was the last straw for me. I’ve given ADA years of my life as a volunteer and now as a potential candidate. They’ve made this exceptionally personal for me, with knowledge of my own story and personal struggle with Diabetes.
Please, please heed my warning. Think long and hard before you get involved with these people. There are so many fabulous health-centric non profits doing incredible work, that are respectful of your time, expertise and passion for their mission. Best of luck.
