There was a pretty long wait just to be notified that my that my application had been reviewed, and then another very long wait to find out I had an interview. I received one over the phone interview consisting of just a few questions, then one in person interview that was a joint interview with the two directors of the two CDCs I had applied to. Overall it was a fairly simple process. You met in the director's office, she asked roughly ten questions pertaining to how you would handle different situations that could potentially arise while doing this job, and that was about it.

They ask how you would respond to certain scenarios involving the safety of a child and helping to assist a child in their developmental needs. The interview was not taxing and was fairly short. I believe it was 4-5 questions to assess if you had enough knowledge to provide adequate care to the children.
