      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goodwill (Scranton, PA) in May 2025

      Interview

      Interview with Director was very informative. After describing the job and what the work environment is like, she asked about my experience and interests as well as my strengths. She wanted to know why I wanted to work for Goodwill and about my previous experience work with individuals with challenges or barriers to employment. She left time for me to ask questions about the job and I had several about hours, flex time, working from home, and opportunities for advancement.
