Intervention Specialist Interview Questions
"When you apply to be an intervention specialist, potential employers will use the interview process to determine if you have the patience, compassion, and communication skills to work with addicts and developmentally disabled children. Expect to be asked interview questions that test your ability to stay calm and handle conflict in tense situations. You may be given case studies of clients with various disabilities and asked what you could do to help their families. Most employers will expect you to have a bachelor's degree in social work or a related field, and a license is usually required for private practice."

It was really the scenarios. You were not allowed to ask for additional information on the family/client and you were not briefed on company policy. So when a scenario begins with "you have been working with a family for 3 months and <blank> happens, what do you do?" it makes it difficult as a clinician to not have additional information because hopefully after 3 months you would have a pretty good idea. This should have been a warning that in the job, every situation has a specific response that is in no way based on clinical understanding or the therapeutic relationship.
Free associations... What do you think of when you hear these words and how do you think they'd impact your role at YV?: integrity, accountability, team building and two others I can't remember (one of which may have been leadership?)
One scenario-based prompt requested the interviewee to provide clinical insight for a nontraditional family. A grandmother (GM) has custody of her teen granddaughter, who is pregnant, and her two younger grandsons. The granddaughter has been diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and is constantly running away from home to be with her boyfriend. The GM has prompted the assigned social worker that she wants to give up custody of her granddaughter and focus her attention on the younger siblings. The children have an Aunt who lives nearby but is also fed up with the granddaughter's behavior and does not seem to want custody.
