They had to reschedule our first meeting. It was a panel interview and I was surprised there weren't any mental health questions, but they asked a lot about working with the populations they serve and my overall ability to work with youth. It felt like the mental health aspect was an afterthought. Nobody followed up at all, even though they said they would "reach out either way." It was a total lie because even after I sent follow-up emails, they just ghosted me completely.

The initial interview was an hour-long in-person meeting with two team members, one of whom would be my direct supervisor. They went through standard interview questions from a list. It felt less like a conversation and more like they were just reading off questions. One interviewer seemed disengaged, looking out the window and losing track of the questions, while the other asked most of them. Although I didn't advance, I was informed that the subsequent stages would involve a skills assessment, a background check, and a final 30-minute in-person interview with other team members, including the director.

I applied online and about two weeks later, I was called in for an interview. Unfortunately, the two staff members who interviewed me didn't seem to know how to interview well. They gave me a hard time about some things and asked confusing questions. For instance, one interviewer kept pressing me about where I was living at the time. While that's a fair question, it got to a point where I felt it was unprofessional to keep asking after I'd given a good answer and explanation. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, and I got the impression the interviewers weren't very prepared. I was glad not to get an offer. Quick tip: take public transport or get a ride. The parking garage in Crystal City is pricey; I ended up paying over $20 for less than an hour there.
