So, I just finished a second interview. It was roughly about 15 minutes with the Director and one other person. I was on time. The Director was late. They asked me about my presenting and writing skills. To break the ice I told them that with grammerly I'm 10 out of 10. That got a laugh but I was honest and rated myself at an 8.5 to a 9. (Looking back I should have added that I am a very detailed writer). I do proof read but sometimes I may still miss something so I use grammerly or ask someone else to read it. They do know now that I use grammerly for technical support. In regards to my presenting skills I let them know that I have presented for a previous position that I held to promote the program. I didn't have a number to give them on how big of a group that I've presented to but mentioned that I had presented to churches and at community meetings in front of residents and variuos partners. They asked if I had kids. (Which I didn't think that they could). I answered no kids or pets and advised that I'm used to working a nontraditional schedule so I am flexable with my hours if there is an occassional evening or two that I have to work late or a weekend day. They asked about me handling conflict and I gave an example of me finding employment for someone and having to coach them a few times on workplace concerns brought to my attention but the person was offerred the job by the end of our work experience because they had turned their behavior around. I told them regarding presenting that I would make sure to gather whatever brochures and handouts needed. I would also make sure that I know appropriate talking points and review them. I'm not sure how this went......it was roughly a 15 minute interview. IDK. I'm still gonna continue looking though. I have another interview with another company on Wednesday.
