      Employment Placement Specialist Interview

      Jun 11, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Year Up United (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2015

      Interview

      It was a long process, though there was some organizational restructuring happening during the interview/application process, so that extended things a bit. The process consisted of: an online PI survey; a phone interview; in-person interview with the team manager; a second in-person interview with the rest of the team, team director, and 3 current students; and finally a third in-person interview with the team manager and director. Despite the long process, everyone was very communicative and apologetic along the way. I received regular updates about why there was a delay in making a decision, and overall it was a very positive experience.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      How do you manage competing priorities, and how do you handle not having enough time in the day to complete your work?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Hypothetical questions that are role-specific, asking how I would handle certain situations. These were focused on problem solving and reasoning abilities, and I was encouraged to ask clarifying questions and talk it out as I responded; I don't think the interviewers expect candidates to necessarily know the right answer. These questions came later in the interview process (second and third round of in-person interviews) and were fun to think through/answer, but definitely upped the overall difficulty from "average" to "challenging"; often more information and scenarios were added in as I answered to complicate things.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      What concerns or apprehensions do you have about this role?
      1 Answer

      Question 4

      How do you like to be managed?
      1 Answer

      Question 5

      Personality-based questions, such as what is a pet peeve, what are your hobbies, etc.
