I applied online. I interviewed at The Guidance Center
Interview
Typical interview process. Short phone interview, then an in-person. I interviewed as a therapist with the adult and family program but declined. There was a certain tense atmosphere to it, but the director with whom I interviewed, had zero personality and acted like a tool. I've heard many stories of how things are there since then and I'm so glad I didn't take the offer because its worked out better for me in the long run.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Guidance Center (Southgate, MI) in Jul 2016
Interview
Two people sat there and asked questions off of a piece of paper. They never once varied from the script. They looked at each other but I don't remember them looking at me at all when I was answering. And it was funny because the person before me walked out with a bemused look on her face. Part way through the interview, I understood why. I wish I had time to ask her about it before I went in but the male half came out to get me right away.

Question 1
I honestly don't remember a specific one. They really were that generic. I'm sure there was something about my biggest accomplishment or the last compliment I received from my supervisor. None of it was actually about me. It was all about what I had done for the previous places where I was employed. The male who was a new head supervisor for that department was actually really cold. I think the female manager would have been friendlier if he hadn't been there.
