I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Cancer Society (Everett, WA) in Dec 2012
Interview
You apply online, once your application and resume are reviewed you're sent a link to an online situational/personality questionnaire. Once you pass the online questionnaire, you are then given an live phone questionnaire with essentially the same questions. Once you pass that, you go in for an official interview with the manager of that office. If you pass that step as well you have a phone (sometimes in person) interview with the manager of that office and well as the senior manager of that territory.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I don't recall any of the questions. They were all situational, such as if you had a volunteer who disagreed with a decision the company made, how would you go about handling that? Would you find it difficult to fire or let go of a volunteer who was holding the event back? How would you let a volunteer go? etc.

Interview
I applied online and about 3 weeks later I received a request to set up a phone interview. The interview was with someone in HR that did not work at the location I was interviewing for. She gave me more information about the position and asked me a few questions like when I would be available to start, my ability to work evenings and weekends, and other questions specific to being able to fulfill basic job responsibilities. I applied for a position that was out of state and she told me that they don't like to hire people that aren't from the area that the position is in and that I would be better off applying in my own state. She then asked me if I was ready to begin the scripted questions. She read these questions like a robot to the extent that they were difficult to understand because her inflection didn't make sense. It was like listening to Siri. They were all what would you do if... questions that were specific to circumstances you might face in the position. Some were very easy, while others were more difficult because there wasn't enough information in the question to make a judgment call. After the scripted questions I was able to ask any questions I had and told that I would hear back whether I moved forward or not. I got a generic email a week later saying that the position had been filled.

Interview
I applied online, received an email the next day asking me to complete a questionnaire, within 4 hours had another email asking to set up a phone interview. The phone interview lasted over an hour, the person interviewing me sounded like a robot and read off the wrong prompt for the first 30 minutes of the interview because she was confused about what position I even applied for. Very impersonal, after the interview I was no longer interested in the position.

Question 1
Situational questions based off of finances, which were not mentioned in anything I had researched about the job prior to the interview
