Negative experience: I was called quickly and went in for interview the next day. The director I was interviewing with forgot I was coming in and was conducting a meeting with other staff members, with an open door. She told me to just wait and she will be with me. The meeting discussion was what I would consider confidential in nature (names and places), but was being discussed loudly - even with the director and staff knowing I was sitting directly outside the room.
After I waited, director had me follow her to her office and shut door. The office was very unorganized (stacks of paper everywhere, white boards needing updated) and the director seemed frazzled. She told me about the job, what my duties would be, what I would be expected to do (essentially put out signs as the only way to recruit new foster families and conduct trainings), and how much I was expected to be in the office. She never asked me a typical interview question, we mostly just focused on what my job would be. I brought up several suggestions of unique ways new foster families could be recruited,but she said “we usually just stick to signs.” During the interview the director also stated that she can be a micro-manager at times. That was the last red flag.
I was offered the job on the spot. I told her I needed to think on it. I decided that I could not work well with the director (I personally cannot handle micro-managers) and turned the job down.
