Interview
The search process uses a centralized recruiter to gather resumes. Initial interview is done by the recruiter. Secondary interview is with the board of directors. It is a very thorough process. Be yourself. It is just as important for you and the organization to be a good fit as it is to have the right skills. Great organization and I will apply again.
