I sent in my application online and then they invited me to their office for a face-to-face interview. I had one interview with the hiring manager and one other person from the team. The whole thing took about an hour, and I got an offer pretty quickly, within a week.

I spoke with HR first, then met with the two location managers for a second interview. They were really nice and friendly. They wanted to learn more about me and my background. Since many of their staff are college students, they prefer candidates with majors related to the role, like Psychology, Social Work, or Education. It felt more like a chat than a formal interview.

I found the job and applied online. I got a call a few days later for an initial interview. Then I was cleared to go on to the secondary interview, and finally came back for the tertiary interview. Then I got a call about the offer of employment. The secondary interview included a tour of the facility, where they described all the duties we would perform there. Another part of the interview process involved solving puzzles, to see how well I could play and use my imagination to relate to the children there.

I got a speedy reply from the hiring person, like within an hour of applying, he emailed me. I had one Zoom interview, and then he emailed me the next day with the job offer. I started the hiring paperwork but then got offered another job, so I took that one. The hiring paperwork took about 45 minutes on site and then I had to do a drug test that day.
