It was a pretty quick process, only two interviews: a phone screening and then a final interview later the same week. Mostly just chatting, not many questions outside of going over my resume. They got back to me over a week later saying they were 'going in a different direction.' Honestly, after seeing reviews, not getting an offer was probably for the best. Glad it only took two weeks instead of months like some other non-profits.

Behavioral Presentation

I had two phone interviews with Senior Foundation Managers, and then an in-person interview with the Foundation Manager, COO, and a presentation for the CEO. I completed the in-person and presentation and never heard back. They then reposted the position with a lower salary than what I shared with them.

Behavioral

I had three interviews. The first was with someone whose title I never got, and she cold called me and asked a lot of questions. The next was with the CEO, and the last was with a different current employee. I was told I'd hear back soon, but didn't hear back for six months. They cold called me again and said they still hadn't made a decision and asked if I was still interested. I said yes, but that was two months ago and I haven't heard back.
