It was a two-round interview process. First, there was a phone interview to get to know me and my reasons for applying. Then, an in-person panel interview was held to assess how I could perform in the role. The second interview was a bit challenging because they asked about specific scenarios that candidates might not have encountered, which felt like a disadvantage. I liked the interview experience, but I never heard back from them. I would have appreciated a rejection email.

Behavioral Case
I was interviewed by HR and the Non-Residential Assistant Director for Crisis Services. The questions focused on how I'd handle domestic violence victims in different situations. They also asked about my ability to cope with stress, frustration, and failure. The interviewers mentioned that domestic violence victims often go back to their abusers several times, so I should expect to work with such cases. They also stressed the importance of not being stereotypical, as men and trans individuals can also be victims of domestic violence.
Confirmed questions7 questions
- What would you do if you were doing a home visit for a domestic violence case, couldn't reach the victim by phone, and saw a group of men drinking outside, with one possibly being the abuser?
