I got a call from Janet Hansen (Executive Director) for an interview after I applied a few weeks prior. I then had an interview with the ED and Leah DeCicco, the Sales Director. After that, I was supposed to meet with Rita Paul (HR/Business Office) for a follow-up. Rita wasn't available then, so Janet gave me her card and told me to call if I didn't hear from Rita within a week. I called and left a message since I didn't hear back, but I haven't heard anything from Janet, Leah, or Rita.

I went through a two-step interview process. First, I had a virtual interview with the national director. Then, I had an in-person interview with the building's Executive Director. It was a formal setting, but I felt comfortable throughout.
