I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at DESC (Seattle, WA) in May 2016
Interview
Met with the project manager and direct supervisor. We discussed my ability to set client boundaries, my understanding and thoughts on harm reduction, my goals, and my personal experience and past. I was honest about having once struggled with addiction and homelessness and was treated as a whole and worthy individual regardless. I felt comfortable and felt like their interview questions really sought a good fit for their building.

Question 1
If a resident you can relate to would like to know more about you personally, how do you redirect the conversation back to the client in order to maintain strong boundaries?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DESC (Seattle, WA) in May 2015
Interview
Mostly questions about the job itself and whether I knew anything about it. Pretty straightforward. It does take place in their downtown location, so be prepared to deal with 3rd st. There's no drug test, or anything like that, mostly just questions about your knowledge of who they are and what they do.

Interview
Mass hiring, with a dozen people in one room. HR comes in and has you sign a punch of paperwork. No real discussion. Confusing. I wasn't sure if i was being offered a position or going through a vetting process.
