I took the exam for child protective specialist (acs). It took a year to hear back because of the pandemic. Once I submitted the requested paperwork, I was told I was cleared for an interview. It's been a month with no response, and I'm unsure of the status but hoping I still have a chance.

I filled out a written interview with scenario questions while waiting in the lobby. Once I finished that, I started the actual interview which was a panel-style interview with 3 supervisors. It consisted of basic interview questions like strengths and weaknesses, how you handle stress, how you prioritize tasks, etc. It also consisted of behavioral questions common in social work interviews.
