10 minute phone interview followed by an in-person group interview. The phone interview was fast, but fine. One question: Was I aware of their supervision model, & how do I deal with criticism? The interviewer said she was moved by the vulnerability I showed in my answer so she invited me right then & there to an in-person session coming up in 2 weeks. At the in-person session, the owner led an academic discussion about how we use language to describe people we serve; i.e., “patient” vs. “client” vs. something else. Through their anxiety, applicants tried to articulate intellectual arguments about words. An interesting discussion, but nothing about applicants’ humanity, expertise, or experience? Just this to screen potential staff? Ok. The atmosphere was really cold. No introductions. Nothing to welcome or set people at ease. Sharply western cultured feel; cold, competitive. Some of us chatted as we left. What was THAT? One of the applicants had been blunted by the owner's reaction to him. I felt badly for him. I’m grateful for the experience. Clarity about what you want is critical. Clarity about what you don’t want is super helpful.
