First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Footprints to Recovery.
Primary Therapist
First I met with the supervisor, then had a second interview with current employees, and got a response soon after. It was a pretty straightforward interview process. I thought I had negotiated my time off and vacation days, but it turned out there were many holidays I was supposed to work.
- How do I connect with patients.
Recovery Coach
It started with a phone call from New Talen Acquisitions in New Jersey who then set up a Skype interview. After that, I had a face-to-face meeting in Arlington Heights, Illinois with upper management. We toured both the clinical and housing program sites. FTR arranged for a drug test through an outside company. They offered me the position after completing reference checks and a background check.
- Can you tell me about your past work experience?
- What skills do you possess right now?
- How fast can you pick up new things for this role?
Counselor
The phone interview had some weird personal questions that didn't really fit the job. The interviewer seemed really checked out. There were big gaps between the phone chat and the in-person meeting, and I had to deal with several people just to get it scheduled. Then they texted me to set up the appointment, which felt off, I expected a call or email. The in-person interview itself was okay, but after it, there was no follow-up at all. I tried reaching out a bunch of times and even sent a thank you card, but I never heard back, even though they said they'd reply no matter what. It all felt pretty disorganized.
- Are you certain you can manage the commute?
- Given that you were also employed at a private practice, would you prioritize this role over that one, potentially needing to resign from the practice if it conflicted?
Director of Nursing
So, I had two zoom interviews, one with the MD and PA, and then an in person tour and interview. The second zoom interview was with the director of nursing that oversees the region. They were super welcoming and upfront the whole time.
- Tell me about your relevant past experience.
- What makes you want to work in SUD?
