The interview process involved the same standard questions for all candidates. While I don't recall many specifics, they were typical. I also had the chance to ask my own questions at the end.

Presentation Behavioral Group

So basically, it started with a phone interview, then like 1-2 in-person interviews. The in-person part was cool, got to meet a bunch of people from the team and the community. The big thing was a presentation where I had to do a SWOT analysis on a family support center. They had different people from the team and community at each interview. The presentation came first, then questions. It was tough, but it really helped me get a better grip on what the job is all about.

Behavioral

I met with the hiring manager for a 1.2 hour interview for a position that meets clients in their homes. I asked about how the agency protects its employees in the case of possible workplace hazards that could be possible in the homes of clients with severe mental health struggles. They deflected numerous times and still did not answer my quesiton by the end of the interview. It comes across as a very low-pay agency that does not take very good care of its staff.

Behavioral

The people I talked to were nice and asked direct questions. We had a little chat before diving in. It felt pretty laid-back. I think I was the most formally dressed. I didn't ask them much, which I probably should have. They explained more about what they were looking for and asked if I had experience with similar tasks.
