The interview was pretty straightforward. They mainly asked me to talk about my past work experiences and explain why I think I'd be a good fit for the company. It seemed like they were looking for common sense answers to do well in the interview.

I had a panel interview where the questions were heavily focused on social-emotional situations and trauma. Following that, I had a meeting with the head of the program, who mainly just complimented my resume and cover letter. I really enjoyed my time at Care 7 and I do miss it.
