I had a few interviews, some on the phone and some in person. Everyone was nice and not intimidating, and they were really quick to respond after. The offer was what we talked about in the interviews.

I first talked to the HR head, then the Principal called me back. The Principal showed me around and we chatted in his office. I sent a follow-up email after the interview. A week later, I emailed again. It took them ages to reply. Once I got the job offer, it took a long time to get my start date. I started during orientation and felt totally lost. The orientation was really general and didn't train me for my job, so I asked my colleagues and figured things out as I went.

Heritage has walk-in interviews for all the jobs they list. You first have an HR interview that's pretty basic, like 'tell me about yourself'. Then, they might ask you back for an experiential interview. This means you hang out for like an hour and shadow a more experienced person at a house with 10-12 kids. They want to see how you talk and connect with the kids – just be nice and they'll probably be happy to meet you. Lastly, you'll have a final interview with a supervisor from the department. Training takes a few weeks.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • What are your strategies for managing dangerous or inappropriate situations involving the kids?
  • How would you respond if a child became physically aggressive, like punching someone?
  • Describe your approach to de-escalating a situation where a child is yelling at you.

First, I spoke with an HR person about the pay, benefits, and what the job entails. Then, we toured the campus and talked about my previous experience. They also reviewed my resume to see how I'd be a good fit for the company.
