Behavioral Presentation

The CEO and some executives introduced themselves, making a point to share their pronouns. While I'm all for inclusivity, this felt like virtue signaling rather than a practical business focus. I then remembered the HR Director mentioning a department voted to unionize. It clicked – the organization, rightly so, decided not to proceed with my candidacy. I credit them for that clear decision.

Behavioral Case

I sent in my resume and cover letter. I was asked to define homelessness in my cover letter and I did. Finding the office was a bit of a challenge because it's like a maze with all the coalition offices in one area. I was given a sheet with 5 questions, including two scenarios. The interviewer was a bit messy and her office was unkempt, and she seemed stressed by the nature of the job. I made a comment about avoiding procrastination in response to a scenario question, but I didn't like her attitude towards the victims. She said it was an emotional job and that people in social services have slip-ups. I didn't think that was okay. She was a nice lady otherwise. It was unprofessional that there was no feedback afterwards. Overall, it's a great organization for people with a lot of compassion and altruistic intentions.

The first interview was with two managers who were really nice and asked some unique questions, some I'd never encountered before. I also had a quiz that tested my maintenance knowledge, which I thought was a smart way to see areas for improvement. The second interview was with the boss of those managers and one of the managers from the first meeting. I was undecided about returning to full-time work, but by the time I got the call for the second interview, I'd decided to prioritize my schooling. They were really understanding about my choice and said I could reapply later if my situation changed. It was a great experience, and I'm keen to work for this company after I finish my studies.
