Applying to work for the American Red Cross

We are back in Texas for a second round in life. The last time we were here we put everything on craigslist and headed to Asia to discover and explore and volunteer.

Having been back in the US for close to two years now I have been living in two dramatically different communities, working for two wonderful non-profits and knew I needed to make a change to move my career forward.

That change is the American Red Cross. They are an incredibly easy organization to apply for. One application and several clicks latter you can virtually apply for a hundred openings. All of which go through an automated review and sent off to district HR offices. Form e-mails keep you updated on the hundreds of applications you have filled out and if your stars align you will get an e-mail asking you for an interview.

The interviews are done via a professional phone conference and your regional HR person keep you updated all the way until the week before you start at your new job!

I am going to be starting in Texas with the American Red Cross on Monday and my blog will be moving towards exploring another small town with a strong tie to oil!
