I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Coyne & Associates (Riverside, CA)
Interview
First interview was a 15 minute phone screen. The interviewer let me know more about the position and what it entails. She then asked me about me and my experience working with small children and what led me to apply. She was happy to hear my experience, and offered to schedule a virtual interview via Google Meets for the next day. The virtual interview began the same, just touching base on what the position entails and the interviewer played a short video on what to expect on a typical workday. After the video she asked multiple questions about why I want to work with children and what interested me in ABA. She then asked how comfortable I was with driving, as there is quite a bit of it daily. She asked some questions about what I would do in specific scenarios where a child is acting up/throwing a tantrum. Overall, the interview was really engaging and made me think of situations and solutions that I would not have thought of before. The interviewer was also very professional.
