If the candidate is liked, he or she will have another one-hour interview with an IMSA official. If this round of interviews is passed, he or she is invited to the IMSA campus to get a real sense of what it would be like to work here. The candidate spends several hours here taking a tour of the campus, talking to the students, and conversing with a social worker and current RCs. Possible candidates not met at Oshkosh basically experience the same process. During the interview, the prospective RCs are asked about several aspects of their own life.
Interviewers ask about professional goals and what kind of skills and talents they possess.
They are also asked about their own work style, such as how they work with students, other RCs, etc. The candidates also give responses to potential situations, such as what their actions would be if they heard that a student is drinking. The interviewers listen to their responses to determine if they are right for the job. The interviewers and those that talk to the candidates look for several things that may qualify him or her for the job. They look at personality, someone who seems to be fun and outgoing.
