I applied by sending my resume to the organization. I got a call about a month later. The interview was slightly intimidating. The first step was to complete a 20 minute writing sample for two scenarios. Then I met with 3 colleagues for a panel interview. The questions were straight forward but some of the scenario questions were thrown out and a little difficult.

I filled out an application on the company website and then got a call for an interview two days later. The interview was about 45 minutes and included behavioral questions and scenarios. I was interviewed by two directors. They asked a lot about my prior experience with specific duties or behaviors, especially concerning students in a school setting and their parents/guardians.

Behavioral Group
The interview process for the Site Coordinator role started with an interview by the local home office, which was pretty straightforward. After that, I had interviews with individual schools, part of the Communities in Schools staff. These were much tougher because each interview was only 10 minutes long, and the groups of interviewers were quite large.
