I interviewed with the full Board of Directors, and several of them asked me questions. The questions were pretty straightforward. Since I'd been an executive director elsewhere, the questions focused on my past experiences.

Behavioral Presentation
I sent my resume and cover letter in the mail. The chair of the search committee got back to me with an interview date and time via email and voicemail. They seemed to not consider the role very important and set up 30-minute interview slots for candidates. The search committee members were nice and mentioned they were tired from running the organization and needed a new management style, but they didn't seem ready to make the position professional. They even started the interview by saying they wanted full-time results for part-time effort. I was told I was the second choice. I would have taken the job, but the pay was going to be really low.

After submitting my application, I met with four Board of Directors members and took a personality test. I also visited two ReStores with a board member. The whole process from applying to getting an answer took over three months.
