It was a panel interview with 2 supervisors (though one couldn't make it, so maybe more) and a group interview where multiple supervisors interviewed multiple candidates.

Group Presentation

So we had this group interview, there were 5 of us in the NY group and a panel of 3 interviewers. They asked questions, and we each took turns answering. After that, we had a bit of a written part where they'd ask something, and instead of saying it, we had one minute to jot down our answer.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • How would you deal with a situation during therapy at a client's home where their dog won't stop jumping on you and their siblings are constantly interrupting?
  • What are some ways to keep the client's siblings occupied so they don't interrupt the therapy session?

So, there was this big group interview, like 20 of us, and a panel of 4 people asked everyone the same stuff. It went on for more than an hour. Towards the end, they asked about what places and programs we'd like to work in, but that didn't seem to matter when I got the offer later.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you tell me about a client you found particularly challenging and how you helped them with their mental health?
  • Which locations and programs would you prefer to work in?

I had a panel interview, and they asked a lot of questions about my past experience. They also asked what I would do in certain situations, and about the work field and why I want to work in it.
