I interviewed at Realization Center (New York, NY)
Interview
The first step was a group interview, with a drug test right after. Then asked to return later in the week to run a group under observation. It was a real group with actual clients, a little weird but the clients were pretty cool with it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work in addiction? They wanted to know if you are in recovery, although this is not their business. Still, it will help you make a positive impression because they value that highly. Also, do not criticize 12 step programs, it will get you rejected immediately
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Realization Center (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
They will ask you to fill out a case study and a bunch of forms. It takes more than 20 minutes for me to be honest.
Then, the interview was conducted by one LMHC and another director. They gave me the offer before I left so it was pretty quick process.
