Autism Services Center interview questions

Parking here is horrible & non- existent!! Parking passes are not offerered. Be prepared to get a parking ticket while you're in the interview. Applicants climb a hot stairwell & arrive in the interviewing office flushed & out of breath. This is a fun way to start things! Applicants are interviewed by 2 people. The interview starts off with "tell us about yourself". which is pretty predictable. Have a decent and relevant answer prepared! You will be met with 2 silent & intimidating stares. This job is not a supervisory position yet client home visits are required to ensure that direct care staff are doing their jobs (seems contradictory). I was told that the interview would be casual at the start but it was indeed fairly formal & not conversational in nature. Job specifications are reviewed with the interviewers in depth & then a short test is given to the applicant that takes a writing sample to ensure applicants know how to write a progress note the way this company does them (how would the applicant be familiar having never worked there??). Also a few easy math questions dealing with service units are on this test. The interviewers did not talk up the job or company by saying why it's a great place to work. I felt as if they assumed I had no other options or was dying for the opportunity to work there because of the severe lack of employment opportunity in the immediate area. There wasn't a welcoming feeling that made me want to work there. Topics discussed were job duties & requirements. Nothing more. I was not given any information about how soon this position would be filled or about job perks or salary. The company does have a company car that's available to coordinators during work hours but its shared by more than 10 coordinators. FYI interviewers: when someone spends 4 years in college and accumulates debt to get a degree & then invests years to get relevant on-the-job experience, they want to know the upsides of a job not just receive a regurgitated version of your hiring ad! The job applicant is expected to sell him or herself at the interview but don't forget that you are too! You BOTH have something the other wants. This process is not totally 1-sided. The interviewers end the meeting with the employer requesting a copy of my references and saying "We will be interviewing many applicants. Why should we choose you?" I thought to myself, "I'll be attending several other interviews. Why should I choose you?" but verbally gave a typically standard interview response. In conclusion, I don't think this was a terrible interview nor would it be a terrible place to work but based on this interview, it definitely wouldn't be my first choice of employment when compared to other options.
