First, a recruiter conducted a 30–45-minute phone interview with me. This interview was very basic and asked questions about past work experience. The second interview was virtual with three managers from the county I would be working in. They asked many detailed questions about past situations that related to the job. Many of the questions were a bit difficult to answer since I am a recent graduate and do not have case worker expeirence. The job description specifically stated new graduates were encouraged to apply. I really enjoyed the managers who interviewed me and felt like the position would be a great fit. Unfortuntely, I was not informed until the last 5 minutes of the interview that position was actually available and they were creating a queue of eligible applicants. They explained they are hoping to expand in 6-9 months and wanted to have candidates who have already been through the interview process ready for when the time came. While this isn't inherently an issue, I found it dishonest they did not tell me until the very end of the second interview. Due to the lack of an immediately/soon available position, I chose to remove myself from consideration for the position. I felt lied to and felt this dishonestly was a glimpse into how the organization is run.

First a screening interview then an interview with the hiring manager. Rigid but ultimately simple and thorough interview. Questions were primarily asking to "describe a time when". Not a bad experience at all.
