First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Walnut Street Center.
Relief
I first talked to the program coordinator for an initial chat. Then, they had me come in to see the place and take a tour. After the tour, we had the main interview. Everyone was really nice. They even gave me tips on how to get hours quickly. The last part was a panel interview with some of the managers. They were direct but polite. I left not knowing if I got it, but I got an offer soon after which made me feel better.
- Are there any family members you have who have developmental disabilities?
Community Support Worker
The interviewer was easy to connect with because of the personal small talk beforehand. He had experience in the type of role I was applying for, which I think helped me do better. I was able to answer his questions, maybe because I felt relaxed and could remember the answers. I really surprised myself.
- Can you describe what constitutes good communication skills?
- What contributions do you bring to the table in this role?
- How do you manage stress when it arises in a work setting?
Community Support Worker
The interviewer was really nice and casual, which helped me relax. They asked a lot of questions, some about childcare. The interviewer also shared some details about the role. I had to complete an online driver safety course and pass a test. A CORI check and fingerprinting were also done at a location in Boston.
- What contributions can you make to the company?
- In what way did you learn about the job opening?
Human Resources
It was a pretty long process, lasting about 6 weeks in total. They were very thorough, and I got to meet a lot of people I might work with. It gave me a good feel for the company culture and what challenges the role might involve.
- There were many questions related to staff management.
