It was a friendly and informative interview. They were honest and clearly cared a lot about the work they do. They gave a good description of the job and what they were looking for. It was a positive experience overall, even though I didn't get an offer in the end.

So I had this interview for an Employment Specialist job. The program director called me in first. He seemed to like me and how I answered his questions, so he had me come back for another interview that same Friday with his boss. That interview seemed to go okay until she brought up salary. She told me the salary was $35k, which was disappointing because I was making $40k at my last job. She said it wasn't negotiable, and I said I understood and was still interested. She mentioned they'd let me know either way. I waited two weeks with no word. I called to follow up and spoke to the director, who said they still hadn't decided and would let me know. This place seems to drag people through the process and then ghost them instead of just telling them they didn't get the job. Super unprofessional, especially since they're supposed to help people find jobs.

I went from a phone call to meeting in person with my supervisor, and then met with the director. In hindsight, I wish I had asked more about the specifics of the role, like whether I'd be working with ACS as a preventive worker, because that could be a tricky balance with the family therapist duties.
