      Direct Support Staff Interview

      Nov 5, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Annandale, NJ
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Arc (Annandale, NJ)

      Interview

      First interview is at the office. Second is at the group home you will be working at. They may involve a client to interview you as well. They try to make the process as easy as possible. There is a lot of personal judgement involved on the part of the interviewer. You may answer correctly, but if you don't seem like the kind of person who can handle developmentally disabled people, you won't get a call back.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How comfortable are you with helping with others hygiene? How are you in an emergency situation?
