2nd Interview Question

Hi everyone !

I need your help !! I went on an interview for a social work position in a LI school last week. I was called to come back for a 2nd interview next week. What should I expect on a 2nd interview?? The first one was a panel of four people. I want this job so bad and want to be prepared. Also, how many interviews are there typically when dealing with a LI school? Thanks for any help in advance ! Wish me luck, I am so nervous because I don't know if I will be on my game two times in a row !!! Chat Icon

I went on a 2nd interview and it was two parents that are actively involved in the school. It was kinda cool. I got the job but didn't take it.

Did the first interview ask you scenarios? Or was it more general about your background?

It was a little of both and very thorough so I don't know what could be possibly asked on a 2nd. I was assuming that it would be with different people but the questions would be similar.

In my experiences, the questions became more difficult as the interview process went on.

basically, have answers prepared for a child abuse allegations, drug and alcohol (teens if its a high school, parents if its elem), possibly teen pregnancy.

always talk about working with the collaborative team, and if you are unsure of the answers in the interview, talk about how school social work and psychology, guidance work together with students and families.

Good luck.

PS- I am an elem school social worker.

Re: 2nd Interview Question

The district I am interviewing in for a special ed teacher position has changed their format for interviewing this year...they only do 2 interviews prior to making their decisions...the first was a panel with sped director, assistant sped director, sped department chair, principal and teacher, the second was the superintendent and director of human resources...

I had a total of three interviews for my job. The first was a half hour screening with the director of student support services. Next I had a panel interview with maybe 10 interviewers asking me questions like "why do you want to work here?" "how do you utilize peer supervision?" "tell us about your most interesting or challenging case" "what are your continuing education interests?" I also had a writing sample at that interview. The final interview was with the assistant superintendent of human resources and the superintendent. I got the call offering me the job on my ride home from that interview.

I agree with the suggestion to talk about working in a team with other staff and parents.

Oh, I am a school psychologist in a high school by the way!

hope that helps.

Every district is different. I interviewed in some districts and had three interviews (and didnt get the job). The job I have now was a 10 week leave replacement, so there was one interview with four people.
