First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Wayside Youth & Family Support Network.
Case Manager
The interview lasted about 25 minutes. The interviewer asked me about my past jobs, my education, and my skills in conflict resolution and managing a group. We also talked about the specifics of the Case Manager role, the benefits, and I had the chance to chat with some employees and a client.
- What would you do if you couldn't connect or work with a client?
Intern
I submitted an online application with my resume and cover letter. Then, I had a 30-minute phone screening. I was told I would get an update in 1-2 weeks, but I never heard back. It seems like at least two other people I know who also did the screening didn't hear back either.
- Could you explain your interest in this kind of role?
Social Worker
The interview process felt long and thorough, but it was a comfortable environment where I could be open and honest. There were three rounds in total: a screener, then a session with the program director and current staff, and finally a meeting with the site director. I felt ready for the questions, although they were challenging and pushed me to think more deeply.
- Could you share some of your past experiences that align with the responsibilities expected in this position?
Clinician
There were two interviews. The first one had a Director, a Clinical Supervisor, and a Clinician. The second interview was with several clinicians and the same Director. Despite some interruptions due to the residential nature of the setting, everyone seemed positive. However, in the second interview, the Director appeared to have already decided against me and repeatedly brought up negatives like the salary being lower than I wanted, frequent overtime, and frequent home visits. I eventually decided to leave, not because of those conditions, but because I felt I was being bullied and disrespected.
- Were standard clinical questions asked?
