I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Youth Villages (Durham, NC)
Interview
I had an initial phone screening and then two interviews in person. The first interview was very informative and transparent about the demands of the job. It seemed that the transparency was due to concern of their high turnover as a result of burnout. I was told to expect to work over 40 hours with a non-negotiable salary of $35,000. The interviewers were laid back and friendly. However, I was surprised at how in-depth the interview questions were for such an incredibly low-paying job. Be prepared for many crisis questions and vignettes. I felt that the interview went very well, however I was not offered a position. I politely requested feedback, but they were unwilling.

Question 1
They had two double-sided pages with questions. Many questions were vignettes that were read off and then I had to explain the interventions I would set in place. They also asked to explain the words (integrity, persistence, engagement, team work).
I applied online. I interviewed at Youth Villages (Charlotte, NC) in Jan 2026
Interview
Interview process went well but everything after was garbage. Keeping a prospective hire in the dark for weeks on end is uncalled for and rude. Then to take the job offer off the table (due to funding or whatever) to then see it posted a few weeks later should be criminal. Get your facts straight before you play with people like that.

Question 1
They asked about how you handle multiple deadlines/responsibilities at once
I went through two interviews, not including the phone screen interview. They ask specific questions surrounding a provider fake scenario. The staff was very kind and made me feel comfortable.
Phone screening, phone interview then in person. Questions included scenarios and why I was going for a role outside previous internship. It felt a little brief for the nature of the job.

Case scenario: detailed scenario and then asked one specific question on how you would safety plan.
