      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Youth Villages (Boone, NC) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Initially contacted for a phone interview with talent acquisition. They asked general questions about my background and education and then went over a brief detail of the position. It lasted maybe 15 minutes. They forwarded my information to the general supervisor for the position and he contacted a week later to set up an interview at his office. It lasted about an hour, he asked probably 10-15 questions which had already been typed up on a sheet of paper. He forwarded the information to the regional supervisor and I was contacted the next day for a third interview. Meet with that supervisor the next week and she had another sheet of paper with probably 10-15 more questions. Those were mostly case study type questions.
