First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Child and Family Services.
Care Navigator
The Director was nice and professional. We talked about the important mental health work they do. They create a nurturing environment for clients and focus on child welfare and case management, using a family-driven and strength-based approach.
- Tell me about your experience helping children who need mental health support.
Mental Health Counselor
I had an interview with two women that lasted about 90 minutes. For the first hour, we talked about the job. Then, I had to type answers to three or four prompts about situations I might face in the role. They said I'd hear back by the end of the next week, but I didn't. I called early the next week and left a message. Later that day, I got a rejection email from a talent-acquisition specialist I hadn't met, and it was a no-reply email, so I can't ask for feedback.
- Which groups of people do you have experience working with?
Social Worker
I heard back about the job pretty quickly after applying, within two weeks. Only the Adoption Program Director interviewed me. They didn't ask super specific things about the job itself, but mostly talked about my general social work background. I got hired two weeks after that, and they sent me a job offer letter with some forms, including a CORI.
- Can you tell me about your background in the Social Work Field?
Director
The process involved very few questions. A lot of effort was put into selling the job and convincing candidates to accept. However, there were shortcomings in following through on promises. The interview included the COO, a line worker, and the CEO.
- Describe your leadership approach.
- Could you explain your management style?
- How do you work with members of a community?
