The interview process is in 3-4 parts. The first interview is a brief walk through your résumé. The second interview is a lengthy phone interview with a direct manager/state director. The next interview is a panel interview of 5 people with a 30 minute exercise involved. The final interview was another, albeit more brief call with the state director. Very lengthy, and anxiety building process.

The process moved along at a good pace; final phase was before a three-person panel that included a position peer from another state. This was preceded by a phone screening by an HR hiring specialist. There were three finalists, one of whom (though an experienced executive) seemed unqualified because the position requires a lot of hands-on work. I was tipped by a friend who knew the score that "rolling up your sleeves" and "teamwork" were keys to signify that I would be a fit.
