Behavioral Case
I met via Zoom with the program supervisor and two of the current employees. They asked me questions about case management, like hypothetical scenarios ('what would you do during a home visit if [insert scenario]?') and about self-care ('what do you do for self-care?').

I finished the online application. Then the supervisor emailed me to set up a phone interview. When I called because no one called me at the scheduled time, the supervisor had forgotten about it. On that call, we talked about my experience and I told them my current salary. They asked me to come in, and I met with two women. It was an uncomfortable meeting and they asked me to fill out a lot of paperwork. I felt good about it because I thought the offer would be at least what I was making. I felt it was a waste of time when the offer letter came and the pay was much lower than my current salary. I used to think GCJF was better than other agencies and was excited to join. My experience has changed my mind.

Behavioral Case
The interview process was pretty straightforward, focusing on situational questions and how you'd react in certain scenarios. Having prior experience as a counselor, particularly in family counseling or working with kids, would make answering these questions much easier.
