Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Fort Worth, TX (US) – Reviewed Jun 16, 2013 New
Interview Details I applied online after seeing the ad on Linkedin. I was contacted roughly a month later for a Skype interview, which was pretty standard. About two weeks later they emailed me to schedule a second interview in person, which involved flying from New York to Dallas. I did this, and the interview was thirty minutes in length. Wasn't really their fault, as the Texas Legislature had called a special session the day before, but was still a very expensive trip. I guess it doesn't matter since I got it, but I would have been pretty PO'ed if I hadn't!
Interview Question – How do you motivate volunteers? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate money for the relocation, no negotiation for salary.
No Offer – Interviewed in Toledo, OH (US) Jun 2013 – Reviewed Jun 13, 2013 New
Interview Details They called and set up the interview. It was a convenient time for me. They had a group interview. One of me and 4 of them. We all sat around a table. They each took turns asking questions. The hours were perfect. The job sounded like it would be a busy one but a satisfying one.
Interview Question – What are your strengths? Weakness? What can you bring to the table Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New Haven, CT (US) – Reviewed Apr 11, 2013
Interview Details Great process, fast, transparent. Three interviews, one phone interview and two in-person. Staff was kind and welcoming, and very honest about what to expect in the position. The only improvements I'd make would be speeding up the amount of time between the offer and start date. It took 2-3 weeks after accepting the position before I started.
Interview Question – They used pretty standard interview questions, but presented scenarios to gauge reaction. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There wasn't much negotiation, but the benefits are excellent

No Offer – Interviewed in Seattle, WA (US) Feb 2013 – Reviewed Feb 21, 2013
Interview Details I was contacted one day after finalizing an online application for the position. The position had been created and remained unfilled for several months. The initial contact was with the HR hiring manager via email and asked if I had time for a brief phone conversation about the position. The details of the job were attached to the email. There were no changes to the job description from what was posted online versus what was sent.

Interview Details
I replied to an ad on Craigslist for a full-time client service representative job. A few days later, I received a phone call form the VP of operations. She asked me a few questions over the phone, and then set me up with an interview a couple days later. I go to the office and they have me fill out an application while I'm waiting to be interviewed. I had two people interview me at once; of the Center Directors and the VP of Patient Services. They asked a series of pretty standard questions, and were very detailed about the job description, type of clientele that come in, and were very thorough answering any of the questions I had.
A few days later I got a phone call offering me the job.
Interview Question – The most unexpected question for me was when they asked me how I would handle dealing with a patient I knew outside of the clinic. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation on salary

Interview Details
The usual, send in your résumé.
Be sure to follow-up with phone calls to different people throughout the agency because if the person getting your résumé doesn't like something, she won't forward it to the hiring manager.
You meet with a couple people at once, and shadow in the clinic for a bit.

Interview Details Long process, panel interviews with pre-planned questions, minimal time for free flowing conversation with potential colleagues and your own potential manager to determine style/goals/paths to success

Negotiation Details – Minimal, they offer I countered they agreed to my counter
