First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Frontline.
Teacher
after initial contact (cold call email) was asked to spend valuable time doing on line screening - this includes demographic information (namely your date of birth/age bracket). It feels like a process of elimination rather than your suitability to and skills to actually become a social worker.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Frontliner
It was a tough and grueling day, not gonna lie, but all the info you need is on the website. Prep, prep, prep! Use the STAR method for all your answers and use your own experiences, connecting them to the competencies. For practical tasks, be empathetic and polite, but get straight to the point with instructions. Show you're a mindful practitioner who can reflect on weaknesses, stay humble, and be professional. Pro tip: research racism and its impact on social work!
- Can you explain your motivation for choosing social work and specifically this frontline role?
- Describe an instance where you successfully demonstrated a key competency.
- Tell me about a time you showed you were competent.
Manager
I was interviewed by a panel of 3 staff members, 2 from operations and 1 from HR. I was asked questions and didn't have to do any tasks. While 2 of the interviewers were professional and polite, making it easy to talk to them, one interviewer, whom I had also corresponded with via email, made me feel uncomfortable. They even laughed at one of my answers because I think I didn't answer the question the way they expected. I was taken aback because this has never happened to me before, and I was upset because I had spent a lot of time preparing for the interview. Even if I'm not the right candidate, I deserve to be treated with respect and not laughed at during an interview. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere, possibly for the other two staff members as well.
- Could you explain why you are a good fit for this position?
Executive Assistant
I started by submitting a basic application online. A recruiter then reached out to see if I was interested in their remote roles. To communicate with HR, I had to install Telegram on my phone. Through Telegram, I answered questions about my previous jobs, personality, aspirations, and how I handle working solo versus in teams, and in stressful environments. After they reviewed my responses, I was offered the job. Next, I provided personal and legal details for employment processing. They also explained the technical setup process for equipment and software needed for the role. Finally, we scheduled a follow-up to begin my training.
