The process was quick and professional. The staff was good. I had to sign in at the front and then drive to another cottage, which wasn't bad. I met with the supervisor who was very nice.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I had two interviews for the Family Integrated Transitions Bilingual role. The first one was with a Spanish speaker who assessed my Spanish abilities. It wasn't too difficult as the interviewer wasn't fluent herself. She asked a list of questions and then we did a short role-play, which was a bit nerve-wracking since I didn't know much about the company. It was mainly to see my instinct though, so it was okay. The second interview involved the interviewer asking why I applied to the company and then explaining the tough parts of the job. We did another role-play, this time with a client's parent, as if we were in supervision. Both interviews lasted about two hours each.

The interview went well in December 2013 for a job that was supposed to start in May 2014. In January 2014, HR contacted me to say they wanted to proceed. I was excited and prepared to wait until May. Thankfully, I kept looking for other jobs while I waited. By March, I started calling to confirm everything was still on track and that I was still the selected candidate. They confirmed this but had no further details about the role (like start date or salary). Towards the end of April 2014, I made several calls to get a final answer about the position. Someone then told me that the 'position was on hold.' This never happened! I never received any calls from anyone at The Children's Village. Why would I be calling if they had called me? I would not consider working for them now and have accepted another offer. It's fortunate I didn't solely rely on them because I would have been in a bad situation.

After about a month plus I got a call for an interview. It was a group interview with three managers/directors from different areas of the sports facility. The interview went well for the most part. They were very professional and attentive and I would have loved to be a part of the team. The interview lasted for 2 hours, mostly because when the two other interviewees answered questions it felt as if they were speaking for 10 minutes each.
