First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Green Chimneys.
Teaching Assistant
Had a nice in-person interview, but then heard nothing back, not even a rejection. It was a really strange experience. I got there early, we seemed to click, and I really showed how interested I was, especially since I live so close by. It's kinda embarrassing that they didn't even bother to reply to my thank you note.
- Do you like working with younger children or older children better?
Residential Counselor
I had an in-person interview with three people who were higher management. They asked a lot of questions about my prior experience related to this field and my future expectations. They really wanted to find someone who could commit to staying long-term, ideally for over a year.
- Do you have any previous experience in a similar role?
Special Education Teacher
I talked to a few school supervisors. They were really nice and made me feel comfortable. Some questions were tough, but they made sense for the job. Jen and Alexa were supportive and gave me time to think. One supervisor wasn't as nice, but he doesn't work there anymore.
- Tell me about balancing teaching students with managing various behaviors you'd work with.
- What are your professional development goals?
- How do you ensure you work well with parents and co-workers?
Residential Counselor
I met with the assistant director of childcare. We walked to a dorm and I met the supervisor. I watched the staff and kids for about an hour. Then, two residential administrators interviewed me in another building. It was pretty relaxed and not too stressful. They asked about my background and why I wanted the job, and then some questions about what to do in certain situations.
- What would you do if a resident started acting out loudly in a crowded space with other residents and staff present?
