I applied online. I interviewed at Seneca Family of Agencies (San Leandro, CA) in Dec 2014
Interview
Before coming in for an interview, the agency called to ask a few questions about how I found out about the job and why it is that I wanted the position. They then asked me about my availability and which location I would like to work in. At the end of the phone call, they asked me what days I am available for a group interview.
The group interview consisted of about 8 people including me. Everyone at the group interview were applying for various positions at Seneca. During the interview, it kind of felt like a competition on who could answer the quickest and best. Since there were quite a few of us, it was hard to not say something similar to what someone has said before.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This is a scenario question. What if you walked into a room and a child yells and says for you to stay away from them and uses profanity? How would you approach the situation?
I applied online. After about two to three weeks the agency calls you and goes over the requirements. If you are still interested they set up a group interview via zoom.

Interview
First they called and did an interview over the phone. Afterwards they invited you to a group interview with around 8 or 9 other people. We were all asked a series of hypothetical and anecdotical questions that we answered taking turns. The interview took around 2 hours.

Some questions that came up were "speak of a situation in which you've had to relate to someone that was very different to you" or "children are very curious, how much of your private life would you share with them?"

Interview
I went in for an initial group interview in a room with 3 other candidates and one interviewer. we were asked a lot of hypothetical based questions to see what we would do in those situations. I moved on to a solo interview a few weeks later, where more personal questions were asked about myself.
