First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at NYS Office Of Children & Family Services.
Contract Management Specialist
There was an interview that touched on hard skills and personality-based questions, such as how I prefer to collaborate, followed by a presentation.
- Can you share an instance where you juggled competing priorities under a tight deadline and explain your approach?
Business Analyst
It was very technical with behavioral style questions aimed at the job role and responsibilities. I would suggest conducting thorough research before going for the interview just so that you have experience on this.
- Describe a difficult situation you faced.
Substitute Teacher
A phone call led to the interview which included 2 people and a tour of the facility. The setting was as expected for a small school, with students who are essentially committed for a few years. I connected with the students I met, and the staff seemed optimistic despite the conditions. I remained calm and focused on my area of expertise... English for the middle grades and the engaging daily activities I'll need to keep them interested and learning. Interviews go well when you know the situation... and the job goes even better after being hired. 'Go for what you know and you will be successful!!'
- How would I be a valuable addition to this school?
YSS1
Same day interview with fingerprints and background check. Average. Interview with 2 persons after paperwork submission to the agency. After the background check, there's a physical exam and medical examination. After the interview, you receive a conditional offer letter.
