I interviewed at Seattle's Union Gospel Mission (Seattle, WA)
Interview
HR screening 1 week after the interview. Second interview with the IT Director. The entire IT staff has been working for less than 1 year at this location. Pretty much wiped the entire IT team and started new.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Seattle's Union Gospel Mission in Apr 2022
Interview
I can 100% see why former employees I am connected to left. I won't name this person, but they were so condescending and rude, and claimed to be all about building relationships, and literally said. NO I DONT MEAN 1-1 COFFEE, HOW WILL YOU GET TO KNOW ME??!!! (And turned red as in mad because he said I wasn't using the words HE liked). So narcissist and what a gate keeper. I am coming off an 11 year Counseling career in a Non Faith based environment, I did not hide that on my resume, in fact, I was INVITED to interview.
This person said looking for the right candidate, meant Conservative, White, and they want someone "sweet and gushy", but it's a Dir. of Referral and Intake working with our most vulnerable info. You all don't have buy in - because if that is a SAMPLE of what your staff experiences, why would you?
If you are a STRONG woman of color who applies to work ONSITE in a leadership role, don't. There are plenty of places you can work that you can showcase your love and gifts in a faith based environment that won't hold toxic traits in a 2nd round interview none the less.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were standard questions, but they want you to answer it in a certain Christian lingo way. If you are into Christian buzz words, this is your interview.
Instead of LIVING them, this person preferred to hear "the right" words when he means right, he meant white.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Seattle's Union Gospel Mission (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2016
Interview
I applied online, followed by reaching out to the hiring manager directly explaining why I would be a good fit for the position. After a phone screen, and an in person interview, I had a background check, and a drug test.
