Applied online, and two weeks later a Foster Care Supervisor called me for an initial phone interview. They asked me basic questions, like "what do you know about Lutheran Social Services?". After the phone screen, I was invited for an in-person interview. When I got there, I had to fill out a pretty long application, so I suggest getting there 30 minutes early with all your info ready. Two supervisors interviewed me and asked basic questions about foster care case management. If you have some experience in case management, the questions are easy and direct. Luckily, they weren't behavioral questions. They said they'd let me know their hiring decision by the end of the week. The interview felt pretty informal and relaxed. The two interviewers were nice and easy to talk to. The whole thing was quick and simple.

The interview process was pretty straight forward. I interviewed with the hiring manager and some potential team members. It started with a screening phone interview, then an in-person interview, and finally the offer. It was very professional and felt like a two-sided conversation to ensure it was a good fit for both of us.

I was contacted by the direct supervisor and we set up an interview. The interview itself was pretty direct, and I met with two different supervisors at the same time because I was interviewing for two different roles. I heard back within about two weeks, and then it took another 2-3 weeks for the corporate office to finalize the background check and other necessary steps.
