Behavioral Presentation
I met with the program director and another administrator. They told me a lot about the organization and what they do in counseling. It felt like they were trying to get me to join them instead of interviewing me. I know they only take one or two interns, so I figured my background and experience were good.

The interview process was pretty standard. There were several "what would you do if..." type questions, so you need to be able to think quickly. It's important to know about local resources and programs like DHS, FIP, Promise Jobs, Medicaid, and food assistance.
