I applied online. I interviewed at Youth Villages (Columbia, TN) in Aug 2013
Interview
The first interview gives you details on salary and expectations as well as benefits. Keep in mind you can not work for Youth Villages if you have more than two traffic violations in the past three years. After you phone interview with the recruiter if you decide to move further they will help you move forward in the next steps which is another interview. I did not move past this step due to the relocation reimbursement not being what I expected and inability to move quickly.

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.
