I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at YWCA (Oklahoma City, OK) in Jan 2018
Interview
Respectful, kind, compassionate, and insightful interviewers. Truly care about their clients and want the absolute best fit for each department/department head. Apply to be a volunteer and complete Crisis Services Training prior to applying for a position at the YWCA. They are more willing to hire someone after they have volunteered at their agency for a few months and prove they are dedicated to their organization/will not get burnt out within a month.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What activities do you utilize for self care to prevent vicarious trauma?
One interview with management, one interview with the whole team to assess personality fit. The questions were very easy and it felt comfortable. Such a easy and relax work environment with people that want to make an impact.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at YWCA (Lethbridge, AB) in Oct 2015
Interview
The interview was run by the program manager. The position I applied for was not the position discussed in the interview. The HR did not say anything. The age discussed in the interview was 19.10/hour and the actual wage in context was 18.12/hour (same situation with other employees). HR forgot to contact me to extend the offer. The Program Manager contacted me weeks later to start immediately
