If you have a pulse...you're hired! There are some great workers as well as some useless workers. It's a pretty dangerous place to work and extremely understaffed. A crazy balance of nothing to do, or everything to do.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Salvation Army
Interview
Panel interview, mostly. They ask a bit about experience and education and make sure you're comfortable working with addictions and homelessness. A few scenario questions are asked, mostly bout emergency response. Quite easy.

How would you deal with co-workers who are openly arguing in front of clients?
I applied online. I interviewed at The Salvation Army in Feb 2019
Interview
Phone screening interview, no heads up they just call you out of the blue. If you pass the phone interview they will bring you into the office to interview with the manager and assistant manager which will last about 45 minutes. If you are selected you have to pass a criminal record check and then you can begin training.
