fairly easy, asks about your motivations for why you want to work in this and experience working with kids, slightly behavioural asking how you would react in situations/challenges, availability for training

Question 1
How do you approach challenging situations with kids and what is your process?
This area of work is always needy, so it is not that hard to get a job here. They are looking for people who are kind and gentle, not loud and know-it-alls. Just be honest and calm. Also, they look for people who really care about Autism and children with special needs. I got a job working as a BI, but decided not to take it because of high demands (lots of driving) and low compensation. If I was not in a position where I needed money for school, I would have taken it. Also, the process for getting time off seems super complicated (you have to give them like a one month notice). They give you an iPad for the job too, which is pretty cool. Also heads up, you have to pay for your own background check ($80).

Question 1
In the situation of a child's iPad not working, how would you begin to troubleshoot it?
The interview process was quick and I was offered the job on the spot. The seemed eager to get spots filled and mentioned they had a high turnover rate. I felt a bit uncomfortable as they mentioned I lived in a bad neighborhood so I should be comfortable working in bad neighborhoods.
