First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Tennessee State Government.
Case Manager
So I applied online, and then about a week later, I got an email to call someone to set up an interview. The interview was about another week after that. It was a panel with 4 people: 2 supervisors, a case manager who's currently working there, and someone from HR. They asked everyone the same questions and took notes on my answers. Then, about a week after the interview, they contacted my references. A few days after that, I got the job offer.
- Can you share an instance where you had a disagreement with your supervisor and how you managed that situation?
- What is your assessment of your organizational skills, and what methods or tools do you employ to maintain organization?
- Describe how you would manage a situation involving an angry or hostile client.
Case Manager
So, after the initial 'survey' interview, I had a sit-down interview. It was a panel of three people, all from case management departments, and it lasted for about an hour. They asked a series of 10 behavioral questions, and each of those had about 3-4 connected questions. The interviewer read all the questions for a set at once, and they didn't make much eye contact. They didn't really ask about my experiences beyond those initial 10 questions. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with how it all went down. I interviewed today and HR said they'll make a decision within a week.
- Can you elaborate on the initial 'survey' interview?
- Please describe a challenging client interaction you've managed.
- How do you approach prioritizing your client workload?
Case Manager
It was a panel interview. They had a set list of questions for me to answer and a paper questionnaire to fill out. The panel included workers from different departments like Foster Care, CPS, JJ, and Safe Baby. They explained what each job entailed. One of the questions asked me to pick which department I'd prefer, and I had to choose even though I didn't have a preference.
- Which area would you prefer to work in?
