It was a two-stage interview process. First, I had a standard interview where they asked about my transferable skills and why I was interested in the role. The second interview involved me giving a presentation on professional development.

Lots of questions. It's very fast-paced, so you need to be quick with your answers. It took a while to get a response back. Everything hinges on your Resume and how you answer. Make sure to highlight skills related to group work.

Behavioral Technical
I interviewed with Youth Guidance for the Director of Program Administration position and unfortunately had a negative candidate experience. Despite completing the interview process and following up for an update, I never received any communication or closure regarding my candidacy. This lack of response felt unprofessional and left me with a poor impression of the organization. As a candidate, I invested time and effort in preparing for the opportunity, and I expected at least a courtesy update. Clear communication, even if it’s a rejection, goes a long way in creating a respectful and positive hiring process. I hope Youth Guidance takes steps to improve their candidate experience and ensures timely follow-up with applicants moving forward.

Behavioral Technical Case Group Presentation
First, there was a quick call with the Director. Then, I had a 1:1 with some leaders, and it seemed like other people were interviewing that day too. During the 1:1, I had to do a skills test on data and analysis, and some role-playing. After that, I was told I'd moved to the next stage, a panel interview with the school partner leadership team. For this, I got an assignment to plan an implementation project. I also had to read an article about education reform and be ready to talk about it. At the school panel, we did a collaborative planning project with other candidates, and then presented it. The last interview was with parents and school staff. They told me it went well and they'd be in touch. There was about an 8-day gap where I guess they checked my references. Then I got an email with the job offer, and orientation was scheduled right after.
