I applied online. I interviewed at Alley Cat Allies
Interview
Sit and wait for a while. Easy questions from current staff, bizarre interview with higher ups. One woman was stoic and...kind of seemed like a lawyer? Very to the point but asked strange questions. Nothing about the actual work. The other woman was all over the place. I got the impression that staff are expected to commit their entire lives to the job.
I applied online. I interviewed at Alley Cat Allies (Bethesda, MD) in Nov 2016
Interview
When I read the other reviews about Alley Cat Allies I thought to myself this cannot be true. So, I applied and was called in. Had a great and informative interview with the Associate Director of Development. We discussed what their current marketing funnel is now and how I thought I could help add to it. Then I meet with the CEO. She came in and asked what was Alley Cat Allies Mission. This is a fair question and I must admit I wasn't prepared for it. But the next question was "Am I an Advocate for the Cats?" After she explained what exactly she meant. I answer, "I help by using my fundraising skills to give the charity the funds it needs to advocate for the cats." She then stated that 90% of the employees in office are advocates. She then thanks me for my honesty and left. She didn't ask me one questions about the job or its description. This was very disappointing as I know I could have help them increase their fundraising so that they could advocate for more Cats.
