      Foster Care and Adoption Specialist Interview

      May 18, 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amara (Seattle, WA) in May 2013

      Interview

      The interview process was very quick. At the time the agency had not posted the position on their website; however, they received applications for future openings. The interview team indicated they were going to open a new position as their agency is growing. Most of the communication was done via e-mail. The first interview was conducted by phone and lasted approximately 20 minutes. Within the next week, an in-person interview was conducted. The next day the hiring manager requested references and a writing sample. References were contacted late Friday afternoon and had the opportunity to respond over the weekend. By Wednesday of the following week applicants received a response. The response was similar to another applicant and was somewhat impersonal. Applicants received an email, not a phone call. The interview team was engaging and pleasant to speak with; however, some of the questions asked were poorly worded. The panel seemed to really focus on my ability to work with their cliental, which was described as “entitled” due to their education and financial stability. In addition, one’s level of empathy was another area of interest. The agency is primarily focused on the child(ren), which is a positive and the location is great.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One of the interview panelists asked if I had the ability to be aggressive or assertive. After further clarification, she was referring to my ability to set boundaries with clients. I think the question could have been asked differently.
