I applied online. I interviewed at American Cancer Society
Interview
The hiring process was quick and easy. The interviewer seemed really kind and allowed me to sit with one of the team members to access what the job looks like for 30 minutes. They said that they would have a decision within days and upon calling them back and then emailing them regarding the status of employment with them.... I received no update. I was very confident going into the interview and even more confident walking out based on the responses of my interviewer. When I didn't get the job, it would have been decent for American Cancer Society to at least notify me.... or at least respond back. I think that says a lot about a company I was very excited to potentially work with as a career.
