The first phone interview consisted of very general behavioral interviewing questions about a time I failed, when I met a challenge, how I would communicate with a wide variety of people (clients to administrators), and how I would manage a conflict. There was time at the end for about three brief questions. The second interview was more specific to the role: what was my understanding of the recovery movement, what challenges did I anticipate, what were my goals for the next stage in my career and what type of impact did I want to have, and what my approach would be to building relationships. I was given ample time to ask thorough questions at the end. The entire team was warm, engaging, and friendly. The director also popped in to say hello.
