Interview
I submitted an application online and received a call from the HR recruiter at my local office about two weeks later. She asked me some basic questions and then got in touch with me a week later to request an in-person interview with the regional director. I came in for the interview and had a great chat with the regional director; she was impressed with my background/credentials, and even talked about how similar I was to her. I thought the interview went very well, and I left the office convinced that I had received the job. Before I left the office, the HR recruiter told me that she would give me a follow-up phone call the next day. About a week and a half later, I heard from the HR recruiter, and she told me that the regional director was so "impressed" with the way I handled myself and the interview. The HR recruiter assured me that the regional director would make a decision by the next week and she would call me. Well, a week and a half went by, and I hadn't heard from the recruiter, so I decided to send her an email. I quickly got a reply that she was out of the office for a week on vacation! I was livid! After another week of waiting (which was about 6 weeks since I applied for the job), the recruiter finally called me and told me they had gone with an internal candidate. Obviously, I was very upset and felt led-on by the company. I wish they had told me soon after my second round that I had not gotten the job instead of waiting for weeks. The recruiter encouraged me to apply for other AHA jobs, but after this terrible experience, I definitely don't want to work for their company. I feel like they handled the situation very unprofessionally, which makes me think less of the organization as a whole.
I was invited to do a one-way digital interview that I found to be rather awful in terms of process and representation of a candidate. I understand the intention, but speaking into a webcam 30 seconds after reading a question and answering it within 3 minutes is a quite different interaction than having a conversation with a human about one's experience and potential fit. I also read on reviews that one is unable to redo individual questions (I believe I had 5 + 1 written), but is able to redo the entire "interview" once if needed; this was not true.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Heart Association in Jan 2019
Interview
After submitting my resume, I was e-mailed to submit a digital interview the next day. The digital interview consisted of 5 questions that I had to record my answers to. Within two days I was contacted about coming in for an in person interview. The interview was with 3 people and lasted about an hour.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Heart Association (Tulsa, OK) in Oct 2018
Interview
The initial process was a little long/slow to start. I fist did a phone interview. Then I was invited to do an online assessment and video interview. . . the actual questions were very job specific and nothing at all like the generic practice questions. After that I went in for an initial in person interview with 2 department heads. Then, finally I met with My Executive director for another interview. About a week later, I was told I was hired. The hard part was the time in between tasks and the whole, "not knowing" aspect. Every interaction however was pleasant and positive.

Question 1
The questions asked were pretty typical . . . name something that youve had to overcome/how/why/what was the outcome. One question that did slip me up though was "tell me about a time when you had a lapse in judgement" I did not have a prepared answer but feel confident I handled it okay.
