I applied online. I interviewed at American Red Cross in Jul 2016
Interview
This was a phone interview. He started out by telling me about the position and the hours Monday thru Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm and some nights and weekends due to emergencies or special events. The first question was on salary. He asked how much I was looking to make annually and I said $36,000, he said that the position salary was to be no more than $31,200 and ended the interview there.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Red Cross (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Very rapid succession of virtual interviews. First with a manager, next with manager and three volunteers, and a final with an administrator, all within 10 days or so. During third interview, the administrator held the virtual interview while driving, never turning her camera on. In the middle of the interview, she not so discreetly hinted that she had already given her recommendation on which candidate to take the position. Was told HR would be reaching out to me in the coming days, and never received any further communication until I reached out to them.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at American Red Cross (Saint Louis, MO)
Interview
I applied for this job opening a couple of weeks ago. I hoped to hear from them soon, but after 3 weeks, they haven't reached out to me at all. It is not encouring people to apply for jobs if you never hear anything back.

It was a fairly long process, with many interview steps. Helpful hiring personnel, but could have been a little different with COVID interviewing. Applied in July, interviews through August and September.
