I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at American Cancer Society
Interview
I applied for the position through their website for a chapter near me. I was set up with a phone interview about a week after with an HR person that did not work at that chapter but in a different state. Most of the questions were behavioral questions and what you would do in the situation. I interviewed for a pipeline position which meant there wasn't a current opportunity open but they will contact me in a couple of months when one might open up.

Question 1
What would you do if your planning committee is made up only of people of similar cultural backgrounds and incomes
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Cancer Society in Mar 2010
Interview
After applying for the position, an HR representative contacted me for an initial screening interview. This interview lasted less than 10 minutes. Then about a month later I was contacted by the same HR person, who scheduled an interview with the Director of the division that I would be working with and the Director of Income Development. The interview was approximately 25-30 minutes long and involved basic and situational questions.

Question 1
Behavioral based questions: STAR: Must be prepared to answer questions with a situation, the task you took, the action and the result
Be prepared to answer "sales" questions and volunteer management questions for the income development positions
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Cancer Society (Blue Bell, PA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Initial phone interview then in-person interview, both entirely comprised of behavioral questions. Person I interviewed with gave me a tentative timeline and assured me that I would hear from him either way. I did not hear back and did not receive a response to my follow-up email. I'm sure he is quite busy but a form email indicating they were pursuing another candidate would have set him back about ten seconds. Inexcusably rude. Don't have a very high opinion of this organization now.
