I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (New York, NY) in May 2009
Interview
Met the Executive Director at a Non Profit Fundraising Event. After discussing my career interests, he invited me to interview for the position of Executive Assistant. The interview was conducted by the Executive Director, Fund Development Director, and Finance Manager. It went very well, but at least one person was not enthused about me being hired. The Executive Director, my ultimate boss, felt I was the best candidate. I stayed for 4 years and made lifelong friends and colleagues.

Hand a phone interview with HR and the Finanical Developer then met with the CEO and the financial developer in person. It was a pleasant experience very easy. They ask standard questions. Nothing too crazy.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) in Jul 2015
Interview
It takes a very long time to interview with the Y, about a month for the process from start to finish. I feel the process was worth it though, phone screen, then screen with other employees in the dept, then with the VP.
